Guys, I am wondering if you can give me inputs on how to maintain the energy levels through out the day (40 over match)?
I play in T.X, USA and its gets bloody hot and humid. Its already in 26c and it will go up to 38c in peak summer.
Most of the times I feel low on energy while fielding. I want to get better ... I plan on drinking lots of water throughout
the week and do some kind of training (2 days) and cardio (1 day) a week. I think I use some help on game day in terms
of what I drink and eat....do you guys recommend any thing in particular?
cheers.

umm bananas and subway are good :) any supplements :)

KFC isn't too bad a shout
The salt will help retain at least 2 litres of water

I've scored both my midweek tons after a towered wicked zinger box meal!!
Proper people will say stock up on carbs. Pasta, rices etc.
If you want to buy supplement type things, then try myprotein, they do powder moxes to make into drinks to take before all sorts of sports and marathons etc to keep you energised longer.

Start with slow release energy giving porridge about an hour before start time then bananas during match breaks.
-
I'm not fanatic about it..but the paleo/primal way of eating really helps. Will take a few weeks for your body to get used to it, but much more sustained energy during the day. Lots of athletes are doing it. Well worth a Google.

I am trying over night oats with chia seeds, greek yogurt, milk, banana and nuts 1.30 hr before game and 4 - 6 bananas along with 1 gallon of water during the course of the game. This seems to work so far.
-
1 gallon of water during the game?!!!!!!
That's about 9 pints - I'd never be on the field!!!

Yeah, our 40 over games start at 9.30 am and can easily last till 5:30 - 6:00 pm. So, gallon is not that bad assuming you bat for at-least 10 -15 overs :)
ofcoz this is all for peek summer days.

Do you not find that this doesn't taste very nice when compared to bacon sandwiches and stuff?
-
Full English for breakfast, black pudding and all, packet of pork scratching and a pint of lager for lunch, p*ss weak squash through out the game and as much cake and tea as you can stomach at tea. Jobs a goodun!!!
-
Red Bull.
-
Jelly sweets such as Haribo!
-
4 to 5 pints of watered down ale and 15 silk cut purple should do the trick.
-
I'm going to try porridge for breakfast tomorrow, probably with some chopped dates and banana with OJ. Then I think some eggs on toast before I go to the ground just to keep me feeling full until tea. I'll also be using a couple of caffein carbo gel sachets before keeping and batting. Plus as much weak electrolyte drink as I can drink throughout the day, in small doses.
If that doesn't work, next week a fry up and red bull.
-
Going with banana and flapjack for tomorrow's game, usually get knackered half way through keeping so this should be perfect.
Can't resist a trip to the breakfast caff in the morning though!!

I normally go with porridge with berries for breakfast and then scrambled eggs with toast or avocado about 15 minutes before I set off with a banana just before I go out to bowl. Drinking lots of water throughout the week too.

hah....I wish I am in England. Just imagine eating all that good stuff and playing in hot and humid conditions :( :(
like @harryg mentioned, drinking water throughout the week makes lot of difference.
-

No, sadly not.
-
Abstinence may also help.... jussayin ;)
-
You could try electrolyte specific energy drinks like Nuun. They replenish electrolytes well. Gatorade has way too much sugar otherwise that is a last minute option also.

Stay in bed?

Pffft - there's a lot of pansy-nonsense spoken on here.
2 x Eggs and Sossies on toast (many food groups)
1 x Some sort of pastry
2 x bananas before the game
Much sarnie / cake / hot beverage during tea
8 x lagers after game
1 x kebab on way home
DELICIOUS & NUTRITIOUS!!

Swap the eggs for bacon and you've got a winner!!!

McDonald's breakfast normally works well, if not a couple of ginsters slices, red bull X 2, pack of pork pies, doughnuts for good measure.

People are over thinking it, cricket isn't that strenuous at the amateur level

Similarly, you probably don't need 14 pairs of new gloves per season?

But he earns so much more money than anyone else, used to be fitter than all of us too and hits 400 balls just to warm up before he feasts on any short bowling in J grade cricket. Of cause he needs 14 pairs of cheap gloves.

First time I've laughed on a cricket forum.

Periods of inactivity of cricket (at any level) mean that you can get a nasty 'crash' if you eat the wrong food at the wrong time.

Generally will have porridge or bacon and eggs in the morning, orange juice and coffee on the side
