kit in action
« on: February 25, 2013, 04:34:44 PM »
keep an eye out for this guy Luke Thomas ( a CB Member) good cricketer can bowl a bit too just got in the unicorns squad for 2013 and has just had a call from Worcestershire CCC to go for trials at end of March. Exciting times i can still feel the buz myself from when i was in that position just like it was yesterday. Luke has purchased 3 bats from me this ones a Vintage and all the other kit to go with it. A steady net at 85mph keep working hard Lukey Boy am willing success for you the hard works only just starting.
 

Good Luck
Aldo

Steady net at 85mph STANDARD lol.
I'd struggle with 8.5mph at the moment.

Looks class though and good luck to him!

Look a class bat for sure.

What weight bats did he request as I can't imagine playing that sort of speed with a heavy bat.

His range from 2-7 to 2-9 but the 2-9has a lighter pick up he tends to use that on club tracks against slower bowling

Why is it, when the video camera is behind the ball, does 85mph not look that fast, even though, I know that if I was facing it I'd be struggling?

You can tell that that's very quick! Nice batting! But I would have thrown the odd 70mph one in without telling him to throw him off!  ;)
Well done to batmaker and cricketer for your hard work paying off!  8)

I know he'll enjoy the kit. Good luck!

My pleasure its always nice trying to pass some experience on to people who want to learn and progress. It's easy to be a big fish in a little sea but a lot harder to step out of your comfort zone and put yourself up there to be counted.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bounce-Myth-Talent-Power-Practice/dp/0007350546

I listened to the audiobook version from Audible.

It's a really good book written with authority and (from what I can gather) good research.

We used the principles outlined in the Army in a slightly different context, but to great effect.
