Made another 38(32) yesterday. Was batting well but just could not middle the ball at all. The guy at the other end is class and made 70(50) so I was doing well keeping him on strike while ticking the scoreboard along. I think I need to start training my bottom hand out of my batting a bit...

Cheers, I often do but if I’m opening the batting the skipper gives someone else some overs which I’m fine with. Yeah I was about to launch the ball at the stumps for the run out but the batsman was just standing halfway down the pitch so I had to check the throw a bit [emoji23]

Green and dark purple with a red collar yeah. We batted 2nd.

The guy with the camera was late so it’s only like that for a little bit, just need to skip ahead

Carried the bat opening chasing 115 for our first ever win batting 2nd. 41(49)

You’ll be pleased to hear that I just had an absolutely atrocious pregame net session with the bat. I think I’ve figured it out though. We’re bowling first.

I’m playing for Jo’s Angels. Starts at 9am AWST.

My game this Saturday is scheduled to be streamed and I’m opening the batting. I’ll put the link in here for you.

That’s true, although he’s quite aggressive, so like Head he might still be fine. I honestly think good temperament and judgement is worth more than a perfect technique. We could use an aggressive opener with Uz. He’s been doing it on spicy Hobart pitches so he’s doing something right.

If Weatherald doesn’t have an awful start to the shield I reckon he’s a good chance for an Ashes debut

I believe CA has them in a strength and conditioning course. This series was more to find openers, which is a bit shit because the pitches have been roads.

Starc swinging it around corners and cranking it up above 145kmh

Starc beat the inside edge on I think every ball that over, just needs to hit the stumps

Currently in Meekatharra on my way up to Karijini for a Uni field trip so have data for a bit.

Only just starting watching the last 30 minutes, 60 overs in and it’s still hopping around corners. Makes Smith and Green’s innings very impressive.

Still winter T20s. Mostly been focusing on batting but bowl an over here or there. I find it hard to bowl spin in a lot of the games because the ball gets wet and slippery. Game 2 weeks ago I bowled the last over of the innings against a very good batsman that plays for my summer club. I only...

Yeah Smith just looked completely class. Green was very gritty, left well and put away the cover drive for a bit after it almost got him in trouble. He got the return for it by making a 50 and also faced the 2nd most balls of any innings this series (123) behind Khawaja in the first innings of...

Very gritty innings from Green, good to see him face a ton of balls after a pretty soft start to his tenure at 3. He looked like a number 3 bat last night.

So I don’t know if I said it on here but my club has been providing some coaching sessions for colts players in the off season. Apart from immediate technical changes that immensely helped me, my main hurdle has been over-balancing when playing down the ground. I’ve been doing exercises like...

I don’t think this is the answer. He needs to keep an openers mentality, but he needs to just get more experience in the shield against bowlers like Boland that WILL expose his weakness past his inside edge. Also think a county experience will be great for him.
