Anyone on here know anything about Downend CC. Playing them this weekend (1sts) and given the weather I'll be on the machine for 2 hours pre game. Just wanted to know if there are any (proper) pace bowlers or anything particular worth training that morning.

They are a good side - got a Zimbabwean one day international playing for them, who by all accounts is pretty good.  One of our top order batsman left us for them this season!!!

[Colesy]

Small ground, great teas, and like Byo says, their Zim player ain't too bad playing ODIs vs the Australian team. Also has Chris Gayle as a wicket

Sweet... SOunds like I'll get a good test then.. Winner.. Best ramp that machine up to ensure I'm upto speed and ready . looking forward to it now

Largely depends on what sort of side they get out on a Sunday although I saw their Zimbabwean got 170 odd on a Sunday recently.
Like Colesy says, shame it isn't at their ground where you can block sixes (not that I was ever good enough to do so!)

Ian cockbain plays for them he has played for gloucs a few times more of a bat and I have seen that Zimbabwean he is rapid

[ProCricketer1982]

sounds like he will be the test I am looking for, asses where I'm at

[Colesy]

We've got them on a Sunday in a few weeks time and I'm captain so fingers crossed he won't play. Don't want to open against him.

Good hard deck, tiny ground, 1st team are going well in wepl prem 1.

[FattusCattus]

I've seen the Zim bowl a while a go now - he's pretty damn brisk - but does bowl the odd loose one, but you know, you've got to back yourself on the day, knowing every run scored off him is probs worth 2 in the real world.

Every dog has his day and every club deck is a great leveller!

[RossViper]

are you playing for Stoney on saturday?

Man up and show him your double ton form Colesy! I am sure some of the bowlers on that day were ODI standard after all?!

[Colesy]

He'd try harder. I'll just tell him I'm useless

A masterful plan if ever I heard one, all the best for it mate
