    18, never played properly before, where to start?

    Hi Evilpengwinz, Your best bet is to find a local cricket club, and give them a call first. No local club will turn away another player, as we all need as many as we can get. Club usually have coaches, and plenty of seniors players who can really improve your game.

    Cricket Footwear

    Depends on the surface you are playing on. On Grass/Turf you will need spikes, on Sythentic/Mats/Astro/Concrete a god pair of runners will serve you well, or a set of rubber spikes would work as well. In terms of brands I would favour a cricket equipment maker over a shoe maker. For example I...

    Urgh

    Well done in winning the game, this should be good evidence that you should be bowling more. I would also ask your captain/coach if you guys can do some centre wicket practice, and ask to bowl there. Captains can be stubbun and not bowl people for many reasons, you just need to put your case...

    Need some suggestions on how to play good length deliveries

    Hi a1m, First of all, I would like congratulate you on being able to play of the front foot on a sythentic pitch, it is not an easy task, and most sythentic players struggle with it. Second I would just like to agree with everything that RVD said, I think he got it spot on, but I just thought...

    Not able to chuck the ball!

    Hi Raju, First of all well done on been able to bowl within a week, it is a difficult art, and takes ages to learn, and a lifetime to master. Next, don't even think about throwing, unless we want to talk about fielding, the last thing you want to do is start throwing when you are trying to...

    Coaching/ Training tips

    Hi Amobokobokoboko, Improving team batting is certainly a challenge that most clubs face. My suggestions would be:- 1. Centre Wicket Practice, forgo the nets and get yourself out in the middle of the ground as much as possible. This way you can work on hitting gaps, running between wickets...

    Front knee collapses

    Depends if you are side on, or front on, or a mixture of both. I would suggest just been more upright than the picture u have posted. The picture you have posted shows more the problem of the front foot falling away to the left (off) side, which has forced the back to bend earlier in the...

    Fast bowling release.

    Hi Timben, I would suggest video taping your action and noticing the difference between "good" balls and "slower" balls. Pace usually comes from getting your action correct, and when things go wrong, that's when anything can happen. Practice is also the key, try to get an action you are...

    Women's cricket

    Hi Tricia, Women's cricket exists at a social level, just in lower pacipation numbers. There is also no law stopping women playing men's cricket. As HeathDavisSpeed has said women's cricket is a bit slower, and they play some modified rules, but in general it would would be hard to spot the...

    Front knee collapses

    Hi Daemon, I saw your post and thought I would offer some help. Bending of the front knee is part of most bowling actions, and allows you to spread your weight through your action. I would suggest if you are looking to gain pace that it comes more from your shoulder and wrist, than from your...
