Bit late to the party but I'd be up for this if anyone is coming from the South West and might be able to give a lift?

I'm sure we would all love to see you there Dorset, it's been a while since anyone turned up and gave it: ' I haven't played for 30 years and I'm really not very good either with bat or ball sorry about that lads'

And then proceeded to time everything in sight right out of the 'screws' like D.I.Gower and then hit a length with some unplayable outswingers.....

Hehe :)

I used to practice several times a day when I was a teenager but at my age, the opportunity doesn't arise so often!
In fact, I usually wait until the missus and kids are out and then I practice.

by the way you are tutoring me and son-of-god @Churchy1989 how to swing the ball. or at least move it off straight.

last time that Roco dude said he dips one side of his balls in water or in a cow pat during the games.

Not a problem, I am a budding swinger. I would've suggested that @Chalkie shows you the right hand away-swinger, but he doesn't seem to know how he does it! (which is annoying!).

Cocked wrist action mainly, you effectively push it toward the stumps with your arm rotating to just outside off if that makes much sense?

Maybe it's I just don't want to show you, I'm sure no one wants to see you bending it both ways....

My problem is that the swing is intermittent, so I don't have the technique perfected, but happy to share what I know.

Post by: FattusCattus on January 28, 2017, 08:52:42 PM: Another utterly charming session with a broad range of chums. It seems that only us friendly, down to earth Southern Nancies can organise frequent nets, and we are now pulling in several Northerners, a few from the midlands, a man with a lustrous beard and Sussex's answer to Violet Beauregarde (you know who you are!!!).

Many high points today:

@jblowe bringing his wife's samosas - absolutely sublime

@jblowe , despite looking like cricket's most traditional player, getting seriously aroused by Dave's massive T20 style Chase

@Batbuddy99 totally exploding one of his bats - seriously, one bit was in his hand and the other was hanging in the netting

@petehosk batting with the same bat for quite some time!

@WalkingWicket37 bowling 3 consecutive full-tosses which were despatched and announcing "right, that's it, I'm out of wicket-taking options!"

@Churchy1989 turning a new colour which was somewhere between pink and Ribena

@procricket pulling on his special chestguard and charging the bowling machine - bravest hobbit in the shire

@tom line attempting something violent to a short ball and ending up tangled in the netting at short leg

@Mpt7 and @Sivlar13 having a 'special friends net' where they whacked the ball and charged up and down shouting "there's 2 there" or "push it, push it" - WTF, it nearly made me choke on my 4th flapjack!

But the final word shall go to an unnamed attendee who said to me 'It's a bit odd being here, is everyone a bit of a weirdo?' despite having brought more bats than most, batting, bowling, offering to keep, talking to absolutely everyone about their kit, picking up everyone elses bats and playing more than a full part in the day'.

Yes my friend, we are all weirdos - and you sir, are definitely one of us!!!
