backlift is really up 2 you and whats comfy. its the backswing which is most important, (hopefully you know the difference, the backlift being the ready position of the bat, and the backswing being the initial mechanism for hitting the ball. the backswing must be above horizontal level and...

the best sledging isn't always hilarious, its just EFFECTIVE. simple things. i was the last man in for my team, and we had like 15 overs left . i was only a newb at cricket, and all i was doing was blocking. then the wicket keeper got me. "(strong welsh accent) lets see wat other shots he's got...

here we go, another snot nosed kid who wants to copy their hero. DO NOT COPY YOUR HEROS because more often than not, they have developed their own way of batting/bowling. if you wanna bowl like binga, you must look at the stripped back fundamentals of his action, which are the same as every...

i tried a kook once...i hated it, if you want a good lid, go for a gunn and moore, or a masuri, im in love with mine cos even with the basic model, they are still well fitting, comfy, practicaly transparent, and are not too damaging to the budget. the idea of the helmet at the level we are...

bowling 2 wides, then bowling the perfect outswinger sortof like this (broad to haddin) Broad and Swann batter Aussies - Oval highlights - YouTube

wen bowling, an evil stare wen the ball passes the bat does a little, and if the ball is swinging and the batsman misses, a really dramatic OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH makes the ball seem like its swinging more i find. ive also found that ANYTHING that disrupts rhythm is a great way of upsetting a...

both are pretty light and well balanced. the steel one is great for lower levels of the game, but the titanium is unbelivably light, its like wearing a feather!

ive got an off stump guard :p its wicked it means that when ibat, i know that my off stump is right under my nose, and also i can clip anything straight square on the leg side.

hi, as some of you may have seen, my previous post was about whether or not i should become a spin or seam bowler. well, i've converted to seam and now iv entered the world of bowling injuries with a bit of an odd one. when i make my front foot contact and drive my weight through my...

someone help me! basicaly, whats happened is, im a 16, i play for the 4th and 3rd XI for my club, and i am undecided on what i want ot bowl. i have the physical attributes of a fast bowler, im tall (around 6ft 1"/2"), i have long arms, and good upper body strength. i have discovered that...

best option is to use subtle variation to make the batsman do what YOU want him to do, instead of what HE wants to do. if u cant beat the bat, stick the ball where you know he will hit the ball constantly, and stick a fielder there. the pressure will make him make a mistake :) this should...

well that rediculous! every batsman wears an outer thigh guard. i wear both, it does wonders for confidence, especialy against short bowling, a particular weakness of mine. it also does wonders for irregular bouncing pitches, like newport cc 3rds n 4ths pitch.

i like to listen to the heaviest stuff i have (like YouTube - AIRBOURNE No Way But The Hard Way) before i go to cricket, it livens me up and makes me feel ready for action. maybe it has something to do with how we like noise in the field cos i hate silence, even if its a rare moment when...

u know the helmet tendulkar uses? any ideas as to what it is?

yerah, iv just removed the earguards...its amazing. :D cheers mate

hi, ive just purchased a new masuri batting helmet, tbh its a beaut, i love it, its perfect...par one thing, my ears rub against the earguards. ive had to actualy slice chunks out of the earguards to fit my ears in. and my ears are still in contact. the helmet isnt too small, my head is...

iv torn the muscle just above my ankle from fast bowling, which is y i do spin now.

train ur nuts off! its very likely ul just be a spare fielder fo the day as well. happens all the time until u properly establish urself, whther it be with a 1 off hundred, or lots of pretty 20s and 30s. or if ur a bowler, a 5fer in one game or 2 or 3 wickets per game over a few weeks. as i...
