Pretty good for first net out was that full 22 yards and at what speed it looked like it was a yard to quick for first net out

It's about 17 yards Gary - which makes batting there a little 'spicy'!

The ridge is now so pronounced @tim2000s , that my helmet needs a helmet!

So after no practice in ages, here is my third net session in 8 days!

Sorry for the faffing around at the start.

It was a slow bowling work out with some drifters and dibbly dobbly efforts.
Fun though

Not back. But against a spinner I like to get across outside the line of off stump for a number of reasons
It upsets the bowlers line
It protects me from LBW and bowled (edit: in theory)
It allows me to hit the bowling straight without reaching or the ball, which is my strength

I move my stance to Middle & Off against the off spinner for this exact reason.

3:46 of first video - that is my speciality shot!! Inside edge for 4! They simply can't defend against that shot  ;)

The sets against the off-spinning mode were better to work out - the first mode that @Buzz  had set up was some weird in-swinging / off-spin hybrid that was too much for my limited brain and talent. Once again old Charlie Big-bollox here made it look much easier - but it is a great variation to try on these Bola machines, and I think we both enjoyed the variety.
