    Net Cricket

    I've been playing net cricket for about a year now. It's basically playing in a cricket net. The sides of cricket nets are usually divided into 4 pieces of net separated by a metal beam. The closest segment in one run, the second closest is 2 runs and so on. It's an awesome game with about 5...

    Should International Batsmen Walk?

    Should they walk or should they let the umpires decide? Obviously I play at a lower level of cricket, but I always walk that's the way it has always been if I am out then I walk.

    Worst Cricket Bat Names & Descriptions.

    While looking through the forums today I came across a thread on some new Woodworm bats and people seemed to think the names were a bit poor. So what do you think are the worst named cricket bats? Though I am a fan of Kookaburra bats, sometimes the names seem a bit "imaginary" or a poor attempt...

    Winter Training

    Well the English cricket season is drawing to a close, and as usual my game has peaked with few games left. It got me thinking what do the pros do during the winter, ignore ones that go overseas, what do the ones that stay at home do? Do they work out? Do they still work in the nets, and have...

    Multiplayer for BLIC

    Hey I find it difficult to play multiplayer on BLIC with my brother because there are ways of making it too easy for the bowler and too hard for the batsmen. For example bowling negatively, then there are no ways of scoring, and the only resort is to hit over the fielder wich usually results in...

    What do you want from a cricket game?

    20/20 Cricket.

    I personally find the 50 over format more enjoyable and exciting than the 20/20 version of the game. I enjoy the way an innings can be constructed, and the how much more exciting a chase is. Yes, I will agree that there are more big shots in 20/20, but that isn't the only thing that should make...

    Cricket Bats

    Hey I thought it would be interesting to see what bats we all use. I'm 16 and I use a GM Duellist 808. The bat feels quite heavy and I think it limits some of my shots, for example the cut and pull, also as I spend more time at the crease, and fatigue kicks in, it really does start to feel like...

    Finding Gaps

    Hey, Firstly is there a place that I can post questions on technique and things liek that or have I got the right place? Well here's the question, I can hang around a long time in the 40 over games, but I really struggle to pick the gaos and this effects my scoring rate. Any ideas or drills to...
