you have to use oven gloves like these...

and to take 3 overs worth of catches, in my view!!
-
haha i can see a big floor in my plan! i didnt think of them type of oven gloves! but hey i will give it ago if asda have some!!
so 18 balls how hard can it be!
-
Didn't we agree on boob apron and mankini too?
-
lol no pal that was just you!
i cant get that stuff intime for 2moro lol
-
cant wait for tuesday simmy. i'll bring the tripod and camera, you bring the skills!
-
I think you should set up a bowling machine to fire balls at the katchit...

85mph should do it :D
-
We had the bowling machine at 55mph into the cradle on Saturday, it was amazing!
-
i think 85mph ryan into overn gloves might sting a little bit!!!! i do not want broken fingers lol.
maybe 70mph. stood back and then maybe stud up!
ill try it first with the katchit with my propa gloves to get used to it then switch!!!
-
been out and got some overn gloves hahah
-
Can't wait to see this! If I hadn't knackered my calf on Saturday I would be tempted to give it a try but looks like it will have to wait for winter nets.
Post pics of the gloves!
-
you'll be able to see everything on video soon...oven gloves and all. i'll have a go too so show you the diff between a keeper and a bowler lol

surly that would hurt less then having some throw downs nick? :D

I'm like a modern version of Derek Underwood, 57 mph packed into a chubby frame with big turn and bounce (sometimes). How could that not be a test for Simmy? He has enough problems coping with me with proper gloves on :D

Simmy you have to send that into Cricket AM next season, they would show that in a heartbeat
Other than that, average ;)
-
was someone throwing the balls in or was it a bowling machine?
-
Haha, quality! Looking tidy behind the stumps aswell there pal :)
-

i was throwing them down rich. we did plan on using the katchit but someone hadn't put it back so just varied the line and length from 11 yards away.
-
Brilliant, love to see you try it in a game.
-
interesting tekkers from Simmy there actually, i've replayed the video 5 or 6 times.
Simmy, you seem to have a much wider stance than me with your left foot basically on leg - is that so you can take the ball quicker down leg? I find I need to crouch a lot lower than you to make sure I stay down, otherwise anything over pitched goes straight past me. Mind you you're a bit bigger than me ;) great hands though.
-
Lol, loved the video. In regards to the wide stance, nothing wrong with it, just need some salt to throw, clap your hands and do some face slapping ;)
Large cricketers rule!!
-
wasn't criticising at all, just observing Simmy's technique.
-
Good job simmy.... Good to see someone manning up and doing what they say..
Guess it's johnny's turn to do some baking with keepers gloves now.. haha

tbh mate i do get much lower when i am actually keeping and not doing a drill like that. i would normal get right down low and rise with the ball. like everything in my cricket i bet its a poor technique but it does the job.
also rich i allways keep me left leg on off peg. just i no that ryan was gonna lob some down leg side just steady my self behind the stumps notice i start off outside off and as vid goes on i stand pretty much in middle.
was just going for speed really. not my usual keeping technique. also ryan was lobbing the ballsd own pretty fast so never had time to set my self
-
Serious skills there Simbo, nice nice work :D
-
well i had to make it challenging for you didn't i?
-
should of kept with them indoor yesterday
-

Kill an hour or 2?!?! I must spend about 5 hours a day on here :(
-
me to mate 5 hours +
i am touched that as your first post u have used my thread :P
-
best thread ever tho innit ;)
i think the main point when using CBF is to be VERY careful when browing the "Stuff For Sale" section as:
a) you'll want to buy everything
b) your wallet will take a pounding
c) some of the stuff that's being sold is pure sh*te.
welcome to the forum :)
-
just a quick pump to say this has reached 1k views! hahah as if!
-
you getting cash off it yet?

-
Haha, great video lads :) Truly loved every second of it.
