Re: 10,000 hours!? Liz is very right in higlighting 10000hrs theory is aimed at the high performer. But, in layman's terms, if you don't practise, you won't get better.

Re: Pet Hates: God I could go on for ages, but 1. Rain in the summer, usually on Sat when the rest of the week is great. 2. Extended football season. 3. Mutli-sports pitches, where you get the edge of rugby/football pitches just off the square!!! 4. Cold showers in away dressing rooms (Hot in...

Re: Before the match Pre match routine can be fun and depending on the level of cricketers and league you are playing in, it should be geared towards preparing for the game. Most pro's play football/rugby in pre-warm-up??? Because it's fun and gets them moving. Rugby is ideal, as it's a...

Re: 10,000 hours!? This is quite interesting and has just been covered on a recent UKCC2 course I assisted on. There were 2 angles of attack on this subject. 1. 10,000 repitions of 1 drill should ensure sufficient muscle memory to complete to activity (pull shot for example) to maximise the...

Re: Somersets new kit!!! It is really hard to pick the players out as well against stands. I remember Manu Utd blaming their grey kit for the 6-3 drubbing Southampton gave them. Maybe Somerset have a plan of hiding players and springing out to take catches.

Re: Your Picks for the New County Season There's a guy called Pat Legge at Devizes CC. he will be fantastic this season. Bowls med-pace & leg-spin. Bats anywhere from 1-6 and fields like Jonty Rhodes. What a great site this is.....

Re: Baseball gloves - what's that all about? Gray-nicholls do some white ones.

Re: Cricket direct For Masuri go through Seriouscricket at Dummer, they get the helmets straight from Chase (a UK supplier of Masuri). Also, seriouscricket are pretty good an quick.

Re: What Color Should we paint our new Fence? Will have to white then really to match the sponsors boards. Good luck with the season, you've got a lovely ground.

Re: What Color Should we paint our new Fence? Have you thought about painting the fence in your club colours and putting club name in white letters along the fence? Otherwise go for white.

Re: Your Picks for the New County Season James Tomlinson at Hampshire is going to be great this year.

Somersets new kit!!! I was witness to the worst one-day coloured clothing schemes ever yesterday. Somerset played Gloucs in a friendly and there was nothing friendly about their new GREY/RED kit. It's horrid and their training kit is blue, so there was a clash of players (who's playing for...

Re: Remfry Protective Equipment Or you could get some unbranded kit off ebay and write your own 'graphics' on them and keep the guys guessing. I hope one of the pro's gets a Smart car soon, the 4X4 tax and fuel prices are killing me....

Re: Footwork my foot Swinger, good to hear your opinions again. Very true, there is more to cricket than Biomechanics and 'footwork', which has been my approach to this thread. Against spin? Sweep os 1 method and getting out to hit the ball or rocking back to cut/pull needs good footwork...

Re: Remfry Protective Equipment Way up the options - Price against level you play. I face 80mph+ guys and the Aero kit does the job (outer+inner for Rempfy 1 outer), it's a no-brainer. Of course if you want to look like your idol, then you best bat in shorts, so everyone can see how much dosh...

Re: Footwork my foot Yes, sorry no critism intended. This is an open forum after all. Thanks for doing the link. The ABSAT is great and produces great results in simple terms. People get hung-up about terminology, Biomechanics has exsisted for years in other words.

Re: Footwork my foot Well, footwork it is then, if you move your feet you can be GREAT!!! Come on lads, be real. I'm trying to point out, it takes more than footwork to succeed, there are many good players in club cricket that get in a good stride, but can't hit the ball. Coaching is about...

Re: Footwork my foot Very, very true. I think it's great him being in the game. It extends the coaching manual to 'real players' and not MCC coaching manual manufactured players. The game must develop and keep being exciting.

Re: Baseball gloves - what's that all about? The black/red ones England use are the Canterbury ones, you can get them from SCS - Somerset club shop. I find the padding to much if you get the wrong size. But they ar egood for a hard 'catching' session in the slip cordon. Rubbish for throwing in...

Re: What makes a great bowling attack? Great point, the FEAR FACTOR of pace (The Windies) as gone from the game.
