Warne managed it vs KP

As a young leggie myself, just focus on getting your rhythm first and foremost, don't try and bowl a Warne ball first up, just relax and play your NATURAL game. There is no point trying to be something you are not. Enjoy yourself, reproduce the Warne ball later in the net and get selected for England. Simples. :)

All went well and i'd say it's the best net ive had in my net. I bowled to 4 of the players, Moeen Ali, Tymal Mills, the other 2 i didnt get the names of, one was a bowler sponsored by gm using an icon stickered bat and an albion helmet, the other was sponsored by Gray nics using the new powerbow(Green) stickered bat.
Moeen was a quality batsman, although I was lucky to get him caught and bowled off of a nice ball. Tymal, although not a great batsman (Got him out 3 times), was a very genuine and nice guy, let me look through all of his kit. One thing that suprised me was that he had 2 ton stickered bats, but one was made by TON and the other was made by BAS. one had a very full profile with no concaving whereas the other had heavy concaving, do you think he'd just take what he can get?.
All in all was a great day with a total of 7 wickets in an hour and a half :D

I hope you didn't sledge any of our nice young men?

Ha ha...one the contrary, I hope you gave them a proper sledging...looks like they need practice facing up to it!

Many years ago the touring Pakistan team played minor counties at my local club ground. Imran Khan and Abdul Qadir weren't there but it was pretty strong team nevertheless and some of our colts got to bowl at them in the nets, one of the batsmen being a very youthful Wasim Akram. Lovely thing to have on your CV!
-
Well done mate! Really good to hear you had some success, and enjoyed it too!
-
Having played in the same county team as Tymal I can back you up in saying he is a very friendly chap! He's a bit of a bunny with the bat in hand though haha..

top lad and very down to earth, nice to see him keeping his feet firmly on the ground

WOW... what an experience that would have been, well done :)
