    Cricket Gap Year

    Hi there, I was just wondering whether anybody has ever done, or known anyone who has done, a cricketing gap year? I've found a website called Sport Lived who, for a substantial fee, set you up with everything needed to be able to survive 6 months in a foreign country (New Zealand for me)...

    Slip Catching

    So, as some of you may know, I'm not small. I weigh 114kg's now (lost about 4 kg's in 5 weeks), but still only really useful in the slips. I used to keep for County for 4 years so got a decent pair of hands and am always the first choice for the captain wherever he needs a strong catcher. Have...

    Injury Prevention

    I guess this could be a personal question and a broad one. How would you prevent injury? I personally weigh in at 118kgs (~18st 8lbs) but am not fat. I go to the gym and have very large and dense bones. My Granddad was a professional South African swimmer, Mum professional South African...

    Temperament

    So I've got the hardest game of the season coming up on Saturday (45 overs). We're currently third in the league and we're playing second. Unfortunately our first game of the season was against the team who are in first, and we lost when we really shouldn't have! Anyway, straight wins from then...

    Make Your Own Cricket Bat

    Has anybody actually tried to make their own bat? I've seen a website that will ship of partially shaped clefs for willing participants like me to try and make their own cricket bat.. Obviously I don't have all the specialist tools or expertise but my Dads got a decent range with I think will...

    Second Hand Cricket Balls

    Morning all! I'm moving to a small town a little while away from where I am now, and they have an outdoor cricket net there in the local park.. Rather than me paying money to go and rent a net in the cricket center, I thought it'd be an idea to invest in some second hand cricket balls and head...

    Virtual Scorecards

    Morning all, So I was playing a club game yesterday for my First XI, and the opposition scorer brought along his snazzy new iPad instead of the conventional scorebook. The app he was using, after searching the App Store for a match, was CricHQ and it really looks good! It allows you to search...

    New Bat!

    Hey guys and girls, Just been out to Cricket-Hockey, which is a really nice cricket store down in the South of England, and bought myself a new bat! Towards the end of last season I cracked my beloved GM Hero 808 Ltd Edition which I had for about 3 years.. That bat was my first SH and was a...

    Trigger Movements when Batting..

    Does anybody use a trigger movement? I was told by my County coach that it'd be a good move for me when I was maybe 14?.. He brought it into my game and it threw me completely off when in a game situation.. Then whenever I'd try and get away from it, I'd play badly too! I guess this was...

    Any tips?

    Hey guys and girls, I'm new here but definitely not new to the sport. I've been playing cricket for 13 years now and I'm only 20! Started playing in my older brothers under 10 side as a seven year old and the score book (my memorabilia) shows I was constantly in the top 3 run scorers and top...
