    Bowling Full help/tips

    Changing your action completely regularly is not recommended. Stick to what suits yourself and try and improve on you line and length from there, rather than trying to have an action that just works straight away. You oftenly hear 'practice makes perfect'. Bowl naturally, then tweak that...

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Flintoff's fitness at the moment is questionable. He seems to be battling through half of all his spells, with quite a pronounced limp at times. Is a testament ot his willingness to play/win, none-the-less

    The difference between a seam mark on the scuff sheet and a seam mark on the actual face on the bat should be pretty distinguishable. Seam marks on the scuff sheet are relatively minute, and only really noticed when looked at in light. Whereas, a seam mark on the blade is often a large dent in...

    A.F.L Thread

    Freo failed against the Dogs, as expected. Pav is carrying the side, one of the most underrated players in the comp, would shine in any other team IMO. The Dogs' run was looking pretty good today. Seemed to of put last weeks loss behind them, a serious contender for the flag possibly...

    The last Ashes without referrals – a running tally of umpiring errors

    Watched the highlight reel just a sec ago. Looked pretty plumb to me, a faint edge if any.

    Junior or Senior Bats

    I Harrow is probaly more than enough for a 13 yo, depending on your hight ofcourse. I had my H (english willow) for nearly two years and didnt have too much trouble up until 14ish(probaly 2 years from your age now) when it got a bit small for me. Although i am a bowler and didnt use it all to...

    Please help, my batting has gone to pot

    Is this batting or bowling. If bowling, be careful not to exert yourself too much as it may lead to injuries, as 12 hours a week bowling is an awful lot.

    *Official Third Test at Edgbaston

    Who is their to replace Hughes? The team would benefit from a specialist opener like Hughes. Whereas there are bowlers lining up to replace Johnson, Clark being the obvious one. The stats do not do the two justice. Hughes has rarely faced World class bowling and isnt expected to overcome...

    All your questions are pretty much irrevalent. What does it matter what size his bat is? Just go check out some bats, and chose from your own opinion.

    I want to speed up my bowling

    No. From what i gather Tom M is trying to put across, he encourages a run up that will produce momentum into the ball, but you need to have balance at the crease. Run in at a comfortable speede for yourself, don't just lumber in. Sprinting isn't correct. Supposedly, the likes of Lee...

    Just to see if anyone is interested...

    £10 isnt too bad to be fair, but i wouldnt purchase it, only because im a tightarse and i dont buy things off the internet. Is a good idea none-the less and sure would be able to find buyers with a bit of advertisement, like this forum. Out of interest, how short is 'short'?

    Planning of buying a new bat.

    As they say, 'you get what you pay for'. This being said you may find a better quality bat for cheaper, but more often than not the more you pay, the better. Your coach probaly knows your cricket style 2nd best- after yourself, ofcourse - but go for what you feel right. You've probaly been...

    The team you would like Australia to play in third test

    If Johnson doesn't perform with the ball in net sessions, is dropping him an option? As much as i enjoy watching him bowl, his is obviously struggling of late. Mat

    Planning of buying a new bat.

    It is repetetively preached that you should shop around for a bat that suits your pick-up, weight, etc. rather than what suits other people. Continue trying other bats if possible until you find the bat for you. Mat

    2nd test - biggest contributor

    Australia actually got lucky with a few dismissals that were called no-balls, the majority from Freddie's behalf. Yes this was inevitable but its a chance for Australia none-the-less. I'm an australian and am obviously disapointed about the result, and it surely is easier to blame the umpires...

    I need help!!!

    :laugh: Obviously, Neil Pickup knows what he is talking about. From what i have observed a lot come down to the points he commented on. Selectors arent only looking for the kids who can play cricket but the one who are actually determined to be there. As they say, it's all about first...

    working on my blockshot

    You can usually adjust the grill on your helmet to make it easier to see, although obviously dont make it so big that the ball could be able to fit through. Mat
