i faced a guy who was rolling his arm over and apparently he was bowling about 120-125kph (i think thats about 75-78mph and that was quite fast enough for me, that was opening though, no warming up to the pace (i was also only like 15 at the time)Nnanden said:

TRT (Tie-Related Trauma) is real, people. It's as real as the spots on Rikki Clarke's face, and it is a KILLER (well, actually Harbhajan is a killer but you know what I mean).
It ranks somewhere between Earwax Abuse and Cummerbunditis on the BSOT*.

Personally, I'm no big fan of ball machines unless the person up the other end is varying the lengths. Just get into lazy, bad habits otherwise.
I only ever use it at a slow pace to get my feet moving, and then to iron out a technical flaw that I'm having a lot of trouble with. Even the tradjectory out of the ball machine is flawed.
The best thing I've used is having someone throw cricket balls to you with a lacrosse stick from halfway down - the problem is finding someone who is good enough with a lacrosse stick to throw the ball where he wants it to go.

Funny story ... my mate is a hopeless cricketer but he is such a good and funny bloke we give him a game every week ( he also brings the team kit 
) ... anyway, we let him open and he reached his career highest score of 7, a feat that brought roars from the 9 man crowd. Unfortunately, his innings was ended by a ball that hit him where it hurts resulting in him unable to take further part in the game. We couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the day !

congrats neil!!!Neil Pickup said:...as everyone here knows, when whoever hands out cricket ability was doing the rounds, he didn't bother gracing the Croft Baker wards of Grimsby Hospital in the small hours of August 30, 1985. As such, my entire cricketing career before today had yielded 28 runs and 13 wickets, with a high point of a tortuous six, not out.
Hence, as I strode to the wicket at Tavistock CC at 1704 this afternoon I expected little reward for my obliging acceptance of my midday "er, Neil, someone's ill, and we need to leave in half an hour and there's no-one else left who's allowed out on their own after eight o'clock" phone call.
Therefore, It was with great delight that I strode back forty minutes later with 17 runs to my name, having struck two crisp cover drives to the boundary and added another, more agricultural slog-sweep.
My career average has moved from 2.16 to 3.21 in less than an hour.
I feel great... and I'd like to thank Rikki for inspiring me

I wonder what odds the 2005 version of myself would have given on my averaging 59 in league cricket so far this summer?
Natural talent my arse. How long was I kidding myself?
