Title: Post-Winter nets pain...
Post by: tim2000s on November 25, 2010, 04:39:29 PM
Having participated in my first Winter nets session last night after a few months off, I am suffering post net pain. The most obvious aspect being that my body is not used to bowling and I am therefore suffering quite substantially in shoulders, legs and upper body.

Secondly, there is the batting induced pain, principally, I haven't had to hold a 2lb10oz piece of wood for 20 mins and wave it around a lot, providing thumb, finger and forearm aches.

They are always worst day 2 after the net, and stop appearing after about 4 sessions.

What are your winter net aches and pains, and how long does it take for you to stop getting them?

You get a 20min bat! lucky so-and-so :(
normally i always have some form of niggle during nets/ games - often my back or shoulder is sore for first few sessions of the winter but after that i just get a different twinge each week or two  :D

If you warm-up well for around 20 mins it should reduce the amount of stiffness by quite abit.

Warming down should also help

I normally do a fair bit of Yoga based stretching - I find triangle works well for me, however I have yet to find something that stretches my intercostal muscles in such a fashion that bowling doesn't overdo it for the first few nets. Just getting older I guess!

Only problem I ever get is a sore calf and fingers on right hand from bowling, and after first game my throwing arm is destroyed for about 4 days. Even with a good loosen it still feels like it's dropping off come Monday

Ha ha. I agree. When were playing indoor cricket they still carry on at each other. It is quite entertaining though  :D

The best preventative for post-practice stiffness is a light, massage by a firm, young lady...

This should get rid of the lactic acid build up when you exercise.

Had a first net this week and after batting for 20 mins and bowling for an hour on Wednesday agony doesnt describe the pain. Big toe, knees, hamstrings, back, stomach, chest, shoulders and neck are all causing trouble in there own way. Bloody ridiculous sport.
