Winter Nets
« on: January 07, 2012, 02:38:47 PM »

When do most peoples winter nets kick off? ours as set to start 1st week of Feb at the indoor nets at Glos C.C

wondered if people have been netting since the end of the season to "keep their eye in" or do people enjoy the down time until dusting off their kit for winter nets again....we have an indoor cricket league as well so guess it hasnt really stopped for me due to this buth avent actually been into a net as such.

To be honest we never stop .
Myself and a few lads from the club book the nets at our local sport centre every Sunday 2-6 and just bat on .

My Winter nets started last week, but that was the only week I can go as I am busy on Tuesday nights from now on :(

I've been netting during the off-season to keep my eye in, found I was a lot less rusty than most going in on Tuesday, though I did get the quickest bowlers at me to help me shake off the Christmas Cobwebs.. :)

How many of you actually Finnish with a indoor game any of you ? I'm not that keen on it but I suppose it's more practice , nothing like taking out some of the indoor lights !!!

netted for 5 weeks in November to keep things ticking over. Nets kickoff again next Weds until the end of March. Last year we did a friday session after work and some of the guys loved it.Planning a 2 hour hotspot impact sheet session and possibly a couple more one off sessions.

Hard to say but I do feel because we net more than most teams it does help our performances during the season. Little things like the positive manner of our batting in terms of boundaries and the way the guys seem to score more freely at the start of their innings. Our net sessions tend to be tougher than the games we play and I'm sure that helps.

Ours start last Sunday in January. Some of the lads have been playing in the Ayrtek indoor league but I find that pesky roof gets in the way personally
