    Replace the toss with the bid?

    they should stick to the toss, like almost every other sport does. OR if you really want to change it up, have a BOWL OUT to decide who "wins the toss" I love the concept of bowl outs, and I think it should get use other than in deciding a tied t20 match.

    Indian Premier League

    i think gayle will be first choice for kolkata. the 4 international players they will use should be: ponting, gayle, mccullum, and akhtar/gul .

    Indian Premier League

    yeah that is the last thing anyone wants to see, players skipping their international commitments for a domestic comp is messed up.

    Indian Premier League

    the kolkata knight riders....i love their PR strategy, it looks like SRK is having a ton of fun with that. anyway, i always thought the IPL was supposed to have some sort of "champions league" type format, where the best teams in T20 domestic competitions faced off for a club championship of...

    Future of US Cricket

    unfortunately, we don't have any local stores or anything to purchase equipment from. we are pretty much forced to order our equipment from online stores. its not the ideal situation, and I would definitely prefer to go to a store and make purchasing decisions there. Not to mention, shipping...

    Future of US Cricket

    yeah exactly. there is as, Goughy said, pockets of good systems across the nation, but no collective or national structure. In north carolina, where I go to school, we have 2-3 new university clubs, and one that's been established for a while. I know that there is a lot of university...

    Future of US Cricket

    i think that there is promise for cricket in the US in terms of gaining popularity, but it will require good organization from the top. It would be nice for some sort of youth sports system to start, with recreational opportunities to play cricket that are available to the mainstream. I will...

    Future of US Cricket

    As many of you might know, the USACA elections are coming up soon and seem to actually have some substance to the nominees, especially the Ram Varadarajan challenge to the old guard. I'm hopeful that a regime change occurs, but also that whoever is in charge can bring out about much needed...

    Symonds Shoulder Charge Punishment

    They showed the video of symonds decking the streaker on ESPN-USA's Sportscenter last night. It was great! I remember watching it live, and I couldn't stop laughing for 10 minutes. I hate symonds, but that was awesome.

    If you could get rid of one thing from the cricketing scene...

    I would definitely get rid of flat/dead pitches - they make matches terrible to watch, unless you like to see teams rack up 600-odd over 2.5 days and kill a result. I would also reduce the amount of international games being played, it gets repetitive to watch the same teams play like 10...

    haha, thanks for clearing that up. i am going to work on getting better shoulder rotation in my bowling.

    Fast Bowling Coaching

    can anyone clarify this point from the book's website under "fast bowlers tips and hints": • At the point of delivery, your hips and nose will be facing the batsman. If your bowling hip is ‘lazy’ it will lag behind thus dropping your speed. If your nose isn’t facing the batsman, your head is...

    Getting Bounce

    i think part of my problem is the front leg collapsing in my action, and there might be a problem with my landing after the jump. hopefully i can get some videos for you guys to critique soon. thanks so far for the help.

    batting help

    similar to the problems the original poster was having, i am also having trouble playing the full ball pitching on middle and leg, especially early in my innings. i am very susceptible to LBWs to these balls because it seems that my front foot steps across the line of the ball. I usually take...

    Weights training for increased speed?

    for the chest, the standard barbell bench press works pretty good. I do three variations of it, flat bench, incline bench, and decline bench to work all areas of the chest. It also works out your triceps and shoulders. Pushups also do much of the same work. for the back, pullups are the...

    Getting Bounce

    To clarify earlier statements, I was bowling with an oldish cricket ball on my tennis courts because the grounds were wet, so i was not bowling with a tennis ball - I hate doing that b/c it generates no pace in the air. I think part of my problem has been not being explosive, or putting more...

    Getting Bounce

    Hi everyone. I have recently been visiting this forum for tips on bowling and have found them pretty useful so far. I am a medium pace (would like to be medium-fast) bowler and about 5'11" - 6' but I can't seem to get any bounce. I was practicing on a tennis court today and couldn't get the...
