    Batting Problem

    I used to do this aswell, my bottom hand would force through while driving and close the bat face. I use 2 grips on my bat, but the first grip is only on the bottom half of the handle. technically leaving one grip at the top for the top/leading hand to grip. This means you have to tighten your...

    Murali's Record

    To be honest, I am a critic of Murali's action. I trust science on the fact that he does not throw/chuck and this has been proved numerous times. However, for a bowler (whether he bowls or throws - may cause an argument here!) to show the control that Murali does over the length of time that...

    batting problems

    I had the same problem with fuller balls myself, however I would try to whip them away through the leg-side from middle and off. in my honest opinion I would take a few of the views already shown upto now and expand them. You have been missing full balls in nets... so what? Ask the bowlers, who...

    Weight training during cricket season

    Most sports will look to work on fitness related aspects of the game in the off-season, usually a few months before the season starts after a little end of season break to give your muscles time to recover. If I were you I would concentrate on the cricket for this season and in the approach to...

    batting help

    Quigley, you have the same problem I had a few seasons ago. The way i rectified this was to initially straighten up my backswing from 1st/2nd slip to come straight through from keeper to bowler( this may need a chnage in your grip) I found however that this was uncomfortable in my normal...

    How is your season?

    I had an ok start to my season, the team didn't though, I was batting at 7 because our new skipper wanted to "mix it up a bit" before we had even played one game. I couldn't undertsnad it but o well, it wasnt long before i got in. In a 45 over group stage cup match, we were 24 for 5 after 12, i...

    England u-19 in India

    I can't believe it, the U19's have finally won a game! Miracles do happen lol. At least they have gained some pride back from the embarassing defeats in the test matches. I hope they carry on and maybe challenge for the series.

    Aggressively Vocal On-Field Players - Yay or Nay?

    Banter The best banter I've ever heard was when our main spinner was bowling against a left hander, he couldn't play him, he must have faced about 5/6 over straight from the spinner and the spinner comes out with "are you sure you're left handed?" The batsman actually had to think about it.

    Dominating the scoring

    I was playing in a 20 over U13's game a few season ago. We were chasing 153. We knocked them off in 13 overs for no wicket. I scored 26* from 20-odd balls which I thought was good, the other guy (slogger) was 116* from 49 balls.

    Flintoff's action

    Chucking On the topic of chucking, I watched the PAK V WI matches the other day and watched Akhtar closely live and on replays. I think that he has gone back to chucking, it's clear to see. No wonder he's fast, I could probably bowl at 90mph if I could throw the ball down the pitch.

    Bad Light Ruling

    I think after the Eng and SA players went off today for bad light when the light did not look as bad as before, and Vaughan said that the light was good, why are the umpires not consistent, and is there a specified number on the light meters that forces the umpires to offer the light?

    Team Built For <<Challenge>>

    I would pick: 1. Strauss - can bat for a day with no trouble. 2. Langer - in great form. 3. Kirsten - can bat forever easily. 4. Vaughan - we all know how good he is when in form. 5. Thorpe - can bat for ages. 6. Atherton - great player bats for ages, boring. 7. Kallis - stays in and gets runs...

    New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

    That's a bit vague isn't it, there could be thousands of answers for that. Like players to play one test match, therefore unique. Test Mtach venues to only hold one test match etc etc, how 'bout a clue Jason

    New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

    oops already said that. The number questions I don't mind if they are cricket knowledge ones, but the stupid ones get me, that nobody knows and have to search for the questions should make us rely on our knowledge rather than internet searching skills, which was one of the aims of the starter...

    Would it be dead ball because the equipment of the batsman broke before being caught?

    New Cricket Trivia - 'SJS format'

    Correct!!! Not the hardest of questions, but the way I think this game should be played. Quick questions, quick answers that need cricket knowledge, better than all these "number" questions or questions that everyone has to search the web for the answers because that is not cricket knowledge.
