Cheers, yesterdays game although one we lost was good too. Only one wicket and initially got tonked, but then was rightly taken off to bowl later, but in the period between was able to think about what I was doing wrong. Once out of the heat of the moment it became pretty obvious and I was able...

I'm just off to a 40 over game now, so can't write much. Yeah similar thing, I used to bowl for hours. Not 100% sure it was the best way to go, as i had to un-learn some stuff later. I think having specific goals is essential and sticking to your plan. But I also think there are other things you...

I bowled in the nets last night against one of the better batsmen, I didn't get him bowled, but he conceded some of his shots would have been caught. What he did say was that I was the only wrist-spinner in the club (We have 6 adult teams playing Saturdays). He said that there were some kids...

My season's been OK so far. I'm in a really strong team and we've won every game with the exception of one as far as I can recall. Not many wickets in comparison to last year, but a high proportion of good wickets - set batsmen that the seamers haven't been able to deal with. I've taken wickets...

Looks fine if it works and it seems to be working here in practice. Did notice that every delivery was a no-ball?... foot way over the line, might not seem an issue in the nets, but if you keep doing it, it may become an issue in a match as it might just end up being how you bowl 😬 I'd address...

😬

I'd look again at going to another club - a bigger club with more teams.

Yeah that's tough to stomach. Is the other team local? How many teams has the current club got - what about moving down to the 2nd or 3rd XI, you might be more appreciated and valued there?

I've just played two 40 over games Saturday and Sunday. Took a wicket in each, both slips catches off of my flippers. The game today was a tough one - a Friendly, so a whole range of levels in our team from me and two others who play in the 6th XI, through all the teams up to the 1st XI of which...

You must know Udimore, Rye and Camber in that case? My parents lived in Hastings 'Warrior square' when I was a baby for a short while. Yeah I went looking for the cricket ground about 15 years ago thinking it would still be there, I was devastated to see it built over. I never visited it I seem...

Blimey almost local to me! I've spent a lot of time in Sussex over the years, we used to holiday at my Nans in Hastings, my sister still lives there and I've got distant relatives that live in Breed, so all East Sussex. With the over rotation I think one of the standard ways is to do something...

@Bobble_Fell_Off I reckon Leggie's doing a good job here, but here's my penny's worth (or cents worth for you Aussies). Questions: Am I being completely deluded for trying to learn leg spin and should instead give up (for now) and switch my focus on bowling something less cool but also less...

I think the SKY commentators at least now call this a 'Nothing ball' or just 'The ball that skids on', I reckon they must have seen my rants as well! 😂

Yeah I'm no fan of running, when the weather's fine I try and get out every other day and do interval training. I walk 100 steps - sprint 22 over a circuit that takes 18 mins, more for cardiovascular reasons than cricket. My circuit is in stunning woodland and I'm interested in wildlife - but I...

@Fleetwood I was OK on Sunday, a little sore and "Achey" as to be expected. Nothing a bit of Yoga and stretching wouldn't have put right - I reckon I'd have been fine for another 8 overs of bowling. To be honest the outfield helped, the grass was so long there were very few fours and the ball...

Now I'm envious. Is that pretty much unique to WA? Is your climate over that side better than the East coast up around the Gold coast area or similar? I should just go and look at some weather data shouldn't I?

Indoors?

Where are you Doc? I thought you was an Aussie and your season had finished?

Just home from the Saturday game, I haven't got the exact scores yet as they did them one of those bloody tablet things rather than doing it properly. But Ball park I reckon I was 8-1-22-2. Bowled a few Leg-Breaks today and they came out well, one resulted in a catch at square leg. I must have...
