Re: Pakistan in Australia I was impressed with how the Australians fought back to win the game after a disastrous couple of days, Pakistan had them for the first couple of days, just couldn't capitalize on their chances though. ...though I have to admit, I would have liked to go to the...

Re: How to tell if a new bat is over-oiled? Thanks for all the answers. I was asking more out of curiosity, but its helpful to know what to look out for. I've given the face of the bat 3 light coats and gave the edge's 2 coats. Must say I am pleased with the performance of the bat, wasn't...

Re: How to tell if a new bat is over-oiled? Thanks for the answer lethal, much appreciated. I've given it 1 layer of oil this afternoon, I'll leave the 2nd layer till tommorw morning. I'll upload some pics after that has dried to get an opinoin.

How to tell if a new bat is over-oiled? I bought a new bat today, a Kookaburra Fiery Beast, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Might upload some pictures later. I know that it is necessary to oil a bat, but not to over oil it...and despite all the searching I've done, I cant find any...

Re: Bowling in-consistently Course I'm sticking with it Mas...not one to give up! ;) I'm kind of the same, T.A Offspinner, I find having a chat to the umpy, not so much during the over, but at the start as the field is being set, can be an effective way of settling nerves...but each to their...

Re: Pakistan in Australia He's 17.

Re: Pakistan in Australia Area he grew up in was largely under Taliban control. And considering how pleasant they are, its no mean feat to be where he is today. ...but dont take that as pure fact, its what I read in our local so called "NEWS"paper (if your ever in Tasmania, dont read The...

Re: Pakistan in Australia Aamer, he's going to be a lookout player in the next decade. Even more impressive when you consider what he's had to overcome. I'm dissapointed I didnt get a chance to catch a days cricket at Bellerive when they player Tasmania in the tour match. Always good to see...

Re: Watson - Love him or hate him? Watson needs to mature up and quick as far as I'm concerned. I've noticed that since the old greats (McGrath Gilchrist etc) have retired, the maturity of the Australian team as a whole has dropped. No one can deny that as team, they are a damn strong team...

Re: Bowling in-consistently I know its been a while since I last posted, been busy. But anyway, I have taken alot of what has been said on board, and made lots of effort to ensure that I dont lose my cool after a bad ball, and it has made a massive improvement to my bowling. 2 games back...

Re: Bowling in-consistently Thanks for all the tips, much appreciated. What bboy said about losing my cool is something that I need to fix and fast! If I bowl a few bad balls in a game, I get frustrated and get worse, thats the reason I went for 0-23 off 2 overs in my first game! Practice...

Re: Bowling in-consistently Thanks bboy, though I do feel like a bit of a hack under the circumstances, considering the ball I bowled :rolleyes: I'm 17, I'm playing in my clubs C grade team. The competition is a senior one with three grades (A,B and C) It was my third game with this club, but...

Bowling in-consistently OK, after today's game (we lost by 26-odd runs) I think my main problem is bowling in-consistently. By that I mean I might bowl 3 deliveries that pitch with good line and length, but every 4th ball or so will just go hay-wire, as in it might go wide down leg/off or...

Re: Hey Thanks for the welcome everyone! I've been delaying posting questions, as I have a game today, and want to see if the issues I've been having in the nets are also issues in a game (I'm guessing yes :rolleyes:). Will be sure to post how it all goes.

Re: Hey Thanks mas cambios. I will be sure to give those sections a decent look and see what I can find. I should have mentioned that I'm not completely skill-less, as I can bat, bowl and field reasonably well, just a few niggly little issues prevent me from improving.

Hey Been browsing the forums for a few days, and you lot dont seem the serial killer kind so I decided to join. My real names Aaron, I'm 17 and I live in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. I've started playing C grade club cricket this summer, the last time I played was about 3 years ago with...
