    Getting hit by short ball when batting/protective equipment

    Today I am playing in Deer Park filling in for Sunshine in a 35 over game but usually I play in a 20 20 comp in Melbourne called Last man Stands. Its very social and laid back. 8 a side and small boundaries so that explains the 42 off 25. It is called Last Man Stands because if you lose seven...

    Fast bowling mega thread

    Hi team. Curious how long it takes for people to get their line and length right in a game. I am playing a bit of 20 20 and find I am bowling at least 1 wide and at least 1 full toss in my first over or two. This is particularly problematic given i am only ever given a maximum of two overs...
