Liking that, might try a bit myself By the way, HELLO!

Oh. The other thing I've never been sure about. When a keeper does a stumping. Does the ball have to hit the stumps or is it the hand that the ball is In too ?

Yeah, balls bowled. I always wondered if its in part due to the two faced nature of wickets at this level or if it was just crap positioning! (Its my boss who keeps normally.... so I have to be careful about being critical :P) If i take it on full time, I will be upset because I am a bowler...

Well, I have been asked to wicket keep for the midweek match this week, (ok I semi volunteered as I 'm not getting to bowl or bat in the midweek games ever and felt it could be a good experience) Just wondering if anyone has any useful tips, I'm a reasonable slip fielder, and have the agility...

I learnt to dive and fall properly through being a goalkeeper in football (soccer). It really is about getting low and having horizontal not vertical motion. however, I am much more of a diver in the field than a slider!

I dont have anything more to add i'm afraid, but it does stand.

Evening. I have been somewhat inactive recently! Anyway, had my first nets last week. Whilst I had great times with teh bat, needed an hour or so to get back into the bowling! utilising all those muscles for the first time in 6 months.... Hope everyone is good!

Has anyone seen this ? http://www.vimeo.com/17759994 There is footage from the aus eng match in 1948, along with more a documentary stuff, and at 13 mins ish, there is even a mention of grimmet and footage of him bowling...

Surely this is counter intuitive? Air should like smooth surfaces , as rough surfaces generate more friction, and cause more aerodynamic problems/ and thus, when seam is pointed one way, the air is forced over the smoother surfaces ., and as more of the surface is facing that way, it goes...

What is annoying me, is that you cannot pick up the ashes highlights on demand from itv..... ECB are typically 2-3 minutes per session.

H I personally am not sure, in reality, this thread is where I get almost all my bowling history lessons from! Luckily, living in cambridge, I might be able to find out some information from the uni libraries!

Right, you might hate me after a few things in this post, but anyway. It may look a bit negative, but read through it. First up, We all start batting at number 11. So what, bowling is what cricket is all about xD You've been playing matches for 2 months and yet you're expecting to open both the...

How is everyone ? I'm looking to get back into training ahead of pre season (january) lol (think of it as Pre pre season) as I'm determined to get a real chance at bowling this year. Just the problem therefore is working out a location to practise ... Macca, nice to see about the little un...

Could just be N instead of nathan....

Yeah, had a bat bowl and field. Batting they were bowling short on a bowling machine to let you smack the ball around to show the wagon wheels etc Bowling there was 2 things, first just 20 odd minutes of bowling down the net to practise and get some bowling data, showing ball movement pace etc...

God, I go to the pitch vision academy for a day, and miss a hellaload of posts! lots of reading to follow XD

The key, is to get into a position that you are able to accelerate from for running. Everyone is different though. If you check out Sachin Tendulka For example : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdBae8juAkg&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVcpV_38JLc&feature=related He has the bat...

If you could provide some more information on good ways to use it , and some innovative ideas etc, rather than sounding like a robot... you might have a bit more luck here! Especially at £100+ a pop, would like a bit more information on how this is any more advanced than, as mas said, a tee and...

I would like to hear what Liz has to say regarding that DoctorTran!

In risk of starthing this again... The umpire is not the referee as per rugby/football etc. He is there to moderate between the two teams more than referee. If you know you edged it, and I know you edged it, and you stand there because the umpire is unsure/deaf/whatever then two tihngs , a) your...
