turned out it was a 12 over match.
i
34 runs and then bowled off my pad agan!!!!!!!! Happened to me last season to balls fired into my leg stump. Seems like i am planting my foot on middle and playing across the line instead of on driving.

Back to the bat.

The bat was nice, didnt hit a single one in the middle though, the pitch was very two paced, shooting low or rearing up.

My homemade oval handle was ok as well.

Hit five fours and was out in the 6th over.

Match at the weekend if it is on, hoping for a century.

Match was cancelled!!

Feel really out of form and have only held a bat twice since september so went for a net with the BB and the camera.

The my performance on the video is shocking but the BB went well. No match this weekend so some more nets and some more videoing .... my stance/head position is awful and my hands/backlift seemed to have dropped to nearly the floor!!

The BB in action in the nets ......... went well off the bat

As mentioned above some issues with the batting.

I'd turn off the sound ..... the kid taping it is messing around. ... ...  at one point one lad pulled his pants down ........... well thats my excuse for the shot on 45 seconds!!

Update on this bat ........ getting used to the handle and middle feels very very nice. Superb bat for £175. Got around 400 runs in 5 innings with the bat adn only out once.

I only use this bat on a weekend now to preserve it and use the RK custom for midweek matches or if it is a bit damp.

Certainly getting your money's worth there matey. Are you a pro??
That's a serious amount of runs.

It's really pleasing to know that you like the bat.

i play as a player/coach in a league i shouldnt really be in.

I played in a "warm up" international game for Bermuda 4 or 5 years back, I got 34 opening against West Indies. I also played some T20 games against some Caribbean countries (Trinidad, Grenada, Barbados) and missed out on the Stnaford 20-20 becasue i wasnt eligible through not being resident long enough (eventhough i was selected!!!!!!) and a triangular tournament with WI and England through injury. Needed a wrist operation which basically finished off my career at that level and age was catchign up on me.
