How's Your Season Going? CW Cricket Diary

yes 

If I make it to the first XI then that would be fandabbydozy

that would be bittersweet 

Sounds like JP is better at writing then he is at playing cricket =p

It was 16 runs buddy.

Had a go at training yesterday and I was more pleased than the day before. I only bowled a few full tosses and not many short ones. I got the guys to try and take me over the top and they failed miserably. My variations still haven't come to grip as yet - Only the top spinner came well! - neither the full amount of turn I use to get. Anyway, it's just the beginning of the season for me so.......

Had a great training yesterday, even though it was pretty hot. Bowled for an hour and a half and even practised my death bowling which went quite well. When it came to batting i made a change in my stance which helped a lot and played some great cover drives, though i did get hit in the helmet by a medium pacer.

I bowled around 10 overs at the nest so i didn't get a bat .The line and length was good and then boled to some of the kids .Bowled some bad balls there but luckily they were getting out to it .

Now that is rubbish .From 90/0 in 10 how can one explain hhow the side collapse to 156 ao in 41 overs .That means 21 pvers cost only 66 .

And ofcourse the kiwi wickets are very green too.

Another sincilating performance with the bat I made 0*(1) I'm on fire with the bat my batting performances in my career so far are 0*(1),1 (26) & 0*(1).

First net of the season today.

I batted early and it was hard work. The standard of the mats was very poor which meant the ball didn't bounce at all so playing back was a bit of a no-no. I ended up batting a yard or so outside of my crease to give myself a chance. It took a while for the feet to start moving properly and whilst it was a fairly poor session there was plenty to build on.

Bowling wise I was fairly happy. I managed to 'dismiss' most of the people I bowled to, including one decent player 3 balls in succession. With only a few bowlers in attendance it meant a heck of a lot of work though and I have no doubt I'll be suffering tomorrow.

Had just a light training today (as we have a match tomorrow....whoot day off class), did some basic fielding drills and then a little net for the top 4. Just bowled off 6 paces but still generated near my full pace which was intersting as the keeper went in my net and stood up to the stumps and i hit him in the helmet with a bouncer the batsmen swayed away from.

Try playing some shots next time -JP-. I know we all would love to hear about that.

Originally posted by NZ_Fast My word, we somehow lost in round one of the national competition, against a team that would bearly make the grade in the wednesday 20/20 comp. Our team dropped 11 catches, 6 off my bowling. So naturally were having an extra practise on thursday to work on basic basic stuff like 'giving with the ball'
