To look as graceful as Ian Bell when batting..... (waits for the Ian Bell abuse to start) 

On a serious note, my batting really has improved this season and will be looking to improve my driving through cover and mid off.

Playing straight more of the time!

After a 16 year period if not playing, my agenda is to gain my confidence back and learn the fundamental all over again lol

Strength & Power in the gym! The short ball by the looks of things (Although not intentionally; as the cricket facility at uni is stupidly quick & bouncy, everyone has spent the first net session consistently bowling bouncers)

[steyn92]

Boozing.....

On a serious note, my nets don't start until late jan/early feb. How do you guys work on something all winter? Hire a net between friends/club mates off your own back or so people just net all winter with their clubs?

I'm at uni so we've already started netting

facing short deliveries and my fitness

Having been working with a professional coach the plan is to get my bowling action sorted.
Batting wise I need to get the dick shot to moo corner out of my system, and I might do some fitness work

Keeping the ball on the ground for me. Seem to have developed a bad habit of lofting shots too often, even when I'm not trying to.
Should try to get fitter too but I'm pretty sure I said that this time for the last 10 seasons

I had to do this last winter after a 15 year lay-off. It only took me 5 mins against the bowling machine to realise I missed it, but that I had a LOT of work to do lol.

Fitness, fitness & more fitness

It is quite depressing. But things do come back surprisingly. Just hope the practice I do over winter will help me get to a semi decent standard again.

You'll be amazed how quickly it comes back to you. Get stuck in, and don't be afraid to take a whack or two early on - I found once I got hit the first time I was far more brave after.

anyone who has Sky on demand check the lara masterclass in 4 parts..

of.......course............we................can't....................bat...................like................him..................

but, everything is covered from sighting the ball,balance,head position,back fron,front front-the whole lot.

he stresses the importance of concentrating of getting runs,any area-just runs...

i've learnt a lot watching it and ive been playing for years
 

[MD2812]

Want to work on back foot drive/punch. Haven't got that shot at all at the moment so hopefully get someone to throw tennis balls back at me so i've got it.

Timing.

Fitness/muscles so I'm fitter.

[lastmanstand]

not many club cricketers that couldnt improve by being 5% fitter... il go for that
