    ***Official*** South Africa in England

    I can't help finding this selection a little baffling. What happened in the selection meeting?: Vaughan - "Right boys, we havn't taken 20 wickets in a match yet this series. We obviously have sidebottom back so pattinson can go tile his roof again. What do we think?" Giles - "We obviously lack...

    ***Official*** South Africa in England

    Just heard an interesting news point on the radio that the groundsman at brum has told the selectors not to bother picking Harmison as the pitch won't do him an favours. Interesting after the weekend weather (although storms tonight and rain tomorrow apparently!?) Not sure if this is just...

    Please Help... Fast Bowling

    Rest it for a couple of weeks mate, that generally means no cricket at all and no other strenuous activity. Give it a couple of weeks then break yourself in slowly to get back into the swing. Your body needs time to heal, if you don't let it you may end up doing more and more damage that will...

    Recommended Cricket Bats

    First rule of any cricket equipment when you are buying on a budget is buy it in the off season when the new kit is released. I would also suggest that you will be struggling to get anything that will last for £60. Chances are you will buying another in a year or two unless you get lucky, in...

    Stress fracture help

    Hi all, Sadly I've been diagnosed with a tibial stress fracture today which means my season is over. I have been given the basic treatments but I was wondering if anyone has also been through this and did you get any particularly good advice that helped? I am especially keen to get any aussie...

Maybe not for everyone but I play rugby over the winter, this was instilled into me at school 'rugby = winter, cricket = summer' On the whole though abut 8 weeks befre season. Mixture of everything for first couple of weeks then getting more technical closer to season. Of...

    Being more agressive/ attacking at the crease

    Nets nets nets! You need to concentrate on your timing. This is a key thing for any batsmen, if you can't time the ball, no matter how aggressive you are you will never score big runs. This is one of the fundemental things someone of your age needs to work on. I've struggled with my timing...

    New Kit opinions

    Hi all, Just wanted to get some opinions on pads. After 7 years my slazengers have finally given up the ghost. Probably their way of thanking me for getting myself LBW too many times :laugh: Anyone got any opinions on what pads are good (make, model), I know it's all in personal feel but I...

    Keeping you head

    I guess the same advice I was given. Don't play anything drastic until you hit double figures, this gets you playing yourself in and sighting the ball properly. I imagine in your case it's a mental thing, keep running through your head every ball and try to keep calm and collected (something I...

    Name the shot !!!

    Is it not just an elaborate John Cleese - Ministry of funny walks style 50 or 100 acknowledgment to the pavillion?

    Keeping you head

    This will be an interesting one to get peoples opinions on... I normally bat at 5 for my club however due to one or two needless injuries on saturday the skipper turns to me and tells me I'm opening. Natrually I jumped at the chance but then realised I've not opened for 11 years when I was...

    Bowling faster!

    Well.....I'm not FROM yorkshire per say :) , just mooching off the tax payer at uni here then it's back to the sunny south for me! Nice to be welcomed though! Like the idea of a digital camera, as you say most of them have decent filming capability now which will work just fine.

    Bowling faster!

    Serves them right for not wearing pads! :laugh: When I was at school we had some dark dingy room where students could rent out video cameras and the like, mostly as long as it stays in school but we could get permission to take it home for the night. Not sure if it will be the same for you as...

    Bowling faster!

    Hey Jake, Having coached quite a few bowlers and had loads of coaching myself I just thought I'd have my two cents worth. I disagree that you should be curently focusing on pace solely, at the age you are having the abilty to tuck senior (or rep) batsmen up is good going. Technique is the...
