    Sidearm Pro

    Will be trying this out properly tonight for about 2 hours.. I've done the odd 20/30 mins here and there but seen some different videos on throwing technique and can hopefully make it hit the deck nice and hard.

    Your Cricket Season

    A Successful Season I've only just recovered from a big weekend of celebratory cricket! On Saturday, my first XI team needed 22/24 to secure promotion and we did it. We managed to secure a 23 point win after bowling out the opponents for 136 and knocking off the runs whilst only losing 3...

    New cricket game in the works

    Hi John, I'm very interested in helping out with the testing and feedback on the game! I will download the Mac version of the early Beta this evening, and the new one when it's released! Blog seems to take a while to open for some reason but guessing that's an issue with works poor choice of...

    Solving Technical Problems (batting)

    If he's confident off his legs and doesn't seem to mention any issue with this, then I don't see why it's a bad suggestion? Rather that than letting the team down after 20 overs or so. And trust me, coming in at number 3 with 35 on the board after 20 over is not fun.

    Solving Technical Problems (batting)

    To combat playing the off side for the rest of the season you could just take your stance over to off stump or something like that.. From there you'll be able to play a ball that you'd normally block off to the off side and work it off your legs.. Also, foot movement, make sure you are moving...

    18, never played properly before, where to start?

    Glad your back in the game too! I joined again, after 3 years out, beginning of last season after a mate persuaded me and it's been the best thing I've done. Only bad thing is cricket isn't cheap. Especially when you break a bat!!

    New Bat!

    Had the bat for about 2 and a bit months, and it's cracked. I dug out a yorker right on the bottom inside edge of the toe, and a large piece has been pushed back and cracked quite significantly. I've sent the bat back to the manufacturer.. Not sure whether they'll replace it or repair it.. I'll...

    Cricket Gap Year

    I'm looking at doing it next year from end of Aug/Sept until Feb and then travelling with a friend for a month in March. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions! Will definitely be looking into doing it all myself as it will work out a lot cheaper!

    Cricket Gap Year

    Awesome, how old were you when you did it? Would you recommend doing it earlier or later than you did?

    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)...

    Advice for damaged bat

    Polyfiller? I really have no idea.. I would even bother touching it in my opinion.. Someone else might have tried to repair something like this before, but in the past, I'd have left it.

    Not overly keen on the stickering.. But just my personal opinion.

    Advice for damaged bat

    Shouldn't really need any sort of fixing other than cosmetic. The bat should play as normal.

    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...

    Your Cricket Season

    That's cool! At least it's on the up! How long have you been tracking this for? I've just started tracking my progresses with batting this season, and next will get into detail with bowling too, now quite sure how that'd work on a chart though.. ------------------ I personally had a half...

    Melbourne: Ashes Tickets

    Might come over from England for it, but no doubt you won't want to be celebrating an England win ;)

    Your Cricket Season

    I know how getting 5 feels! We played top of the league and managed to squeeze out our sixth win in a row, now a strong second place! Kept them down to 186-7 and knocked them off in 42 overs.. Wicket was hard, ball was swinging, a few difficult catches went down when we were fielding but still...
