    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    Although I am an Australian supporter i believe England might take this one, unfortunately putting an end to the Aussies record. With the momentum England is carrying with their high confidence levels i think they may have that extra spark to bowl australia over, hopefully not, as it should...

    working on my blockshot

    By the sounds of it you are platying at the ball to early, or as you said with to much of an angle upwards. Ideally you want to wait for the ball to come onto the bat, rather than poking at it. I find if you take your stride forward and play it when it is under your eyes when looking down at...

    Run Up

    I second this. I find when I'm down on confidence and I start looking at the crease I stutter to get my front foot in the right place, whereas when I run off my natural run focusing on where I want the ball to land I will more often than not deliver from where I should be. When you are not...

    I want to speed up my bowling

    You don't necisarily(sp?) have to have a quick run-up to achieve more pace, look at Mitchell Johnson - his run-up is 'slow' compared to the likes of Siddle but he produces a decent pace. Pace can be developed from many different parts of the body, ideally from all of them working together...

    Bowling around the wicket

    Hey guys, As a pace bowler, I have always bowled over the wicket, generally wicket to wicket. But mixing it up is an important part of the game, and recently I asked the umpire (my coach) if i could come bowl around the wicket, but he said 'no'. My point being, What is the problem with this...
