are aussie tracks more bounce to them??
has anybody else played over seas? its my first time some advice would go down well

as cheap as possible but if i had to say around 170-180

As an Aussie player who is over in the UK at the moment, yes, Aussie tracks bounce alot more. But again, it may depend on where you are playing. I'm from central qld but have played cricket on the sunshine coast Qld, and the tracks are all bouncier than over here. The tracks are alot harder and have 'true' bounce - no driving on the up!

no worries mate, thats how i was 90% out driving on the up!.. i was playing in NSW nearer to Brisbane thatn sydney, in Grafton around the clarence valley area if anyone knows around there?

[Jenko]

I know the area but not familiar with the cricket comp.....I played my junior cricket on the Sunshine Coast, then grade cricket in the same comp. Now play grade cricket in CQ - can't wait to get back and bat/bowl on Aussie tracks again!!

Tasmania to us Mainlanders is like Wales to English haha!!!

Fair bit colder down that way mate maybe speak to someone at the club to see how the pitches play. VERY different climate to Queensland.

they are bouncier and tend to have a lot more carry, well thats what i experienced when i went to aus and you cant drive a ball unless its a genuine half volley no driving on the up like in england!

Yep.

Your back foot game will improve dramatically.

Bumpers will come through head high too...and quickly!

It will, but not as much as the northern states. In Tassie, it always rains down there and is much colder than the constant 28-32 degree games up here in QLD, but it's the bloody humidity that gets you up here, always like 90%-95% in summer.

Try Central Queensland Langer,

constant 35 - 40 degrees+ in the summer months!
