    Cracks on my bat !

    Good pics greatminds, some flair in those shots- nice. The wicket looks ok to play on/ shame the outfield needs a trim by looks of it but can hardly expect too much I guess being a park I assume. I bet there's alot of 3's run there! Your bat.. looks to me suspiciously like its been in heavy...

    Cracks on my bat !

    I never know who 'The Rock' is.. its such a generic name that my brain switches off remembering.. similarly Adele, whom even as as total music nut that I am, I cannot even hum a single bar of or know even the name of a song of hers. I assume that has alot to do with the music being of such utter...

    Cracks on my bat !

    Respect then- Im amazed to hear schools are playing it as in essence baseball is such a simple way to setup a game/ regardless of pitching surface etc (and indeed was my earliest memory of having a knack of tonking a ball way further than the other ~7 yr olds kids (rounders/ so a mini baseball...

    Cricket convert...

    Tbh I wouldn't suggest the county chapionship to follow.. you might bore yourself stupid, (leave it to the retirees) and jack cricket in as a 'passing fad' before you even get going. Or if you must Rose Bowl (yes) but make it a sat (crowd/ atmos) and only if its sunny (beer/ general shenanigans...

    Cricket injury (shoulder). help/ thoughts.

    Thanks for reply- yes I feel very cornered with this.. funniky enough Ive just joined a village team with the ex-england team doctor! I couldnt have been much luckier you'd have thought.. but even so and with his help (I cant pester him/ crix is his time off work not to be faffing with me) I...

    Cracks on my bat !

    That's good to see a seller in the US who is obviously respectful, and taking a responsiblity having sold it to you. Ive never heard of hollow spaces/ Im far from a bat know-it-all (tho I am a cabinet maker so do have some handy tools around) but would hazard a guess that if pressed as they used...

    Cricket injury (shoulder). help/ thoughts.

    I cant see an obvious place on the site re injuries- maybe better moved from here? Anyway- if anyone can help/ thougths/ help. Ive a relatively simple shoulder injury specifically the rotator cuff > infraspinatus tendon afaict. I get a very localised sharp 'pull' pain in this tendon just behind...

    Cracks on my bat !

    No it wont lose any mojo if you take a layer off IMO providing you dont go mad. Well saying that Ive attatcked a few old GN 5* bats with my makita (thats a flippin good layer off!) and tho lost approx ~1/2 oz it renewed the face very well and the middle mojo the same. Tip: use a rough ish...

    Swing- one persistant Q..

    Yep.. usually a reason for everything! The reason in JA's case being the most obvious eg as Ive alluded to; any new ball that swings from ball 1 is the point Im asking opinion on. Do you have an opinion on it?

    Swing- one persistant Q..

    Ive an idea when the ball is old, sure, simply by switching the shiny side exactly seam dead-straight/ same ech side for swing either in or out etc (never angling seam- I cannot make the ball swing if I do this).. but my Q relates to a new ball. Ive certainly never done so with a new cherry/...

    Ball design

    Im soon after 20 odd yrs or so (!) going to start tennis again. But, I remember one aspect that always puts me off a bit: tarmac courts (innevitably/ lamentbly 9/10 local courts are) and the annoying way the ball bounces so high ruining a game. Ive been pondering the different way a tennis...
