Real Life Cricket

[Cookie311993]

When I am in form I can swing the ball as much as those indoor players . This is with an outdoor cricket ball though. Very wristy action I have. I would say I am a bowling all-rounder. Use to be a batting all-rounder in juniors. I played div 2 last season and have had 4 sides seeking me to play div 1 for them next year. 19 years of age. Interesting to see how I go this year as I have gotten a boilermaker apprenticeship. Lifting all the metal and stuff has seen me add on 15kg in 6 months, combined with gym and mma and jiu-Jitsu training

I am a very aggressive batter but have a switch where I can be defensive then all of a sudden bang just start teeing off. For instance last season in t20 it took me 6 balls to get off the mark. I was struggling big time. 4 off 10. There opening bowling  gives me a juicy half volley I smash over covers,1 bounce 4. He decides to try and sledge me. It's on. His next over I hit him for 4 fours and a six. Finished up on 38 off 20

Good to hear more and more about your guys cricketing careers! Sounds like we have quite a few quality players round here. ;)

My pre-season cricket training is now building up more and more, after having a month or two off bowling after the end of the season (I am a pace bowler and had a few injuries during the season) to give my body a bit of a rest, have been batting as much as I can but with so much rain lately it is a bit of a struggle to find dry nets! (unless we book an indoor net)

But after starting bowling again a few weeks back I have been getting back into it, still not 100% by any means and struggling a bit for rhythm but that will come. Have been invited to go to the Victorian trials next thursday at the G so that should be fun!

Jayman, which club you at?

Indoor cricketer here. Very social!  Far too aggressive batsman, leg break bowler.

Any other yellow ball players on here?

tbh never had it officially tested, but have been told by people who know their stuff and using some rough measurement techniques I'd say I'm around the 110-120km/h mark, remember I am a bit younger than some of you guys ;)

But like I said, don't know officially. Hopefully sometime soon it will be tested!

i have been playing for 5 years

A group of me and my mates formed a team to hopefully play some matches over winter, in our first game we had no idea what was going on and lost by about 130 runs lol and that week at footy I broke my arm so missed the next 5 or so matches and when I was all set to come back our team folded (dunno why :P)

It was very different to 'real' cricket, an interesting experience. Doubt I'd go back to it but you never know.
