What do you reckon your level is, I play 4th XI and occasional 3rd XI, I find 3rd XI players are precious about their wickets so tend to play you with more respect. Although I guess levels are different depending on leagues and stuff so is pretty subjective?

I can't bowl one anymore, I've got a ropey Top-Spinner, which if I put a massive amount of effort into it comes in a fraction, but to be honest if you have a good stock ball and you can vary your leg break, a top-spinner takes them by surprise and they think it's a Googly anyway because it is so...

Where you going to be playing - what club and what level?

I recommend (unless you want to be a Googly bowler) to stop bowling the Googly totally, otherwise I reckon you can kiss your Leg break a long goodbye. Same as you, when I first identified the problem and thought I better stop bowling the Googly I would get fed-up with the lack of progress with...

Hasn't some geezer in the current ICC T20 series just been given out exactly like this in the last week? He got over the line and then with his next step he was in the air - both feet and bat as the bails were knocked off and was given out?

Yeah definitely when my sons bowling at me or the bowling is good, we've got a kid (17 year old) that bowls fast - he swings it and then it goes the other way off the seam ****ing horrible to face. But having been in the nets for the first time through Nov and Dec, I'm less fearful as I am able...

Got any questions, need any advice, this is what I do for a living here in the UK. Have a look at these links here. The list for the most part is all contemporary or historically significant photographers http://www.listofphotographers.blogspot.co.uk/ This here is just guidance on putting...

From the Daily Telegraph here in the UK - Instead, Collingwood identified Rashid as a possible game-breaker for England. The Yorkshire leg-spinner has been England’s leading wicket-taker in white-ball cricket over the past year, and has just returned from a successful stint with Adelaide...

I'll give it a go. I think I know what you mean, but I think it's counter-intuitive reaction to the situation, so it's quite tricky to overcome.

Yeah my wife hates it, our kitchen roof a few years back had scuff marks all over it when I used to flick with less control and accuracy and the odd ball would hit the roof! Like you I'm struggling with somewhere to practice at the moment, I'm contemplating hiring out a badminton bay at the...

What do get when you mix an insomniac, a dyslexic and an agnostic? Someone who stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

Yeah I reckon you have to go through some pain in order to gain, or as you say, someone actually coaches you and sets you off in the right direction, otherwise as we all know it is trial and error for years. I think though the focus during your early years should be as much about your run-up and...

That's almost a description of me! I got rid of the full tosses and drag downs description as they were not a feature. But as SLA says find the action that you're happy with and stick with it.

This is the sort of thing I do, the only real value I reckon is you get a sense of the potential of the wrist positions and your releases. Are you married or with someone - what do they reckon to your indoor activities? Actually where was the original post because I'm relying to CP? Doh!:confused:

Surely if you cock something it just means that it's set to go, so both of you are correct.

Want a good laugh? It's not a joke, but just spend a few minutes listening to this bloke. This bloke needs to get out more as do an awful lot of these people especially those from the USA.

What you all doing here in the UK for pre-season strength and conditioning?

Same for me, never been a big traveller, but Australia is one of my last ambitions. I would love to have surfed over there, but at 56 the likelihood of it ever happening now with a proper surf thrown in is rapidly disappearing. Never been able to afford it and can't see anything changing in the...

Along this theme I'm taking photographs of Pavilions all over England as and when I can get to them. I noticed that when I started playing the bigger the town the worse the facilities and in comparison tiny little villages in Cornwall where you've got populations of 100-300 they have virtual...

Added some of the new images to the blog today and yesterday, managed to get round to 11 pitches shooting the pavilions. Massive difference in the types which is what the project is about. I found it weird that towns with populations in excess of 100,000 people have the worst facilities whereas...
