Yes, you're right stevey I'm not acting maturely. It was just the frustration of it all and i see your reasons why and no i don't hate you after that rant. Just because i could bowl greatly in the nets i thought that i'll be able to do it on the pitch which i now know was delusional on my part...
Hey guys, i need some urgent advice. I am on the brink of giving up as nothing is going my way this season. I played my first match in the season around 2 months ago and my performance was anything but. I bowled one over, got hit for a few fours and bowled quite a number of wides and batted at...
Wow, im glad someone brought this up as i have the exact same problem! Like dilsl suggested i too bowl great at the nets, accurate and with pace but when it came to the match i got called up and bowled full tosses and wides.
Also wanted to mention that i think another factor is you have a sense...
Struggling against spinners
Hey all, as said in the title im getting problems facing leg spinners and offies. I guess my main problem is when i charge at the ball to work it for a 1 or smack it for a 6. I then completely miss it and i'll get stumped by a mile. Also another problem i have is...
Taking centre
I think thats what its called..taking centre (correct me if im wrong) Its where the batsmen make a line with their shoe when they're batting at the crease. I just wanted to know why batsmen do it as i want to get in a habit of doing it myself and how you do it.
Re: Getting a Bat
How will i know when it will be ready for match use? I've been knocking it in for a while now. I'd say around 2 hours. I've heard of a method where you get a ball in a sock and smack it across the bat or something..not sure though. If i went to the nets right now would i be...
Re: Getting a Bat
On the bottom of the bat are these wierd blemishes or knots, about three of them. Whenever i bang my mallet against it, it makes a wierd noise different to the noises made elsewhere on the bat for example. I was just wondering if this is normal and will it affect the...
Re: Getting a Bat
Say 1 hour on each edge then 2 hours on face? Anywho here are the photos of my new bat. Flickr: MrSmilez's Photostream Let me know what you guys think.
Re: Getting a Bat
Video says i need linseed oil to oil the face of the bat but the face has a protective sheet already..will it make a difference in preperation?
Edit: Also since the protective sleeve is already on i've already started knocking in at that area and weird crease marks are...
Re: Getting a Bat
Ended up getting a Gray Nicolls Predator Max King from last season. Grains looked great, around 5-7 grains. Thought it was a great buy myself since it was reduced to 300 from 400. I'd love to put up pictures of it if i knew how. Also need help with the knocking in, the sales...
Re: I want to bowl way faster and swing way better
Yeah, good point there shrek. I, myself am 16 years old and bowl at around 100-110 km/h. Im only a rookie though, only been playing for 7-9 months now.
Getting a Bat
Hey all, first post for me on the forums. Getting straight to the point, I'm getting a new bat. Not sure what to get though. I'm interested in the GM Range including the ICON and FLARE series and also the Gray-Nicolls Powerbow range. Don't have a million dollars to spend only...
