[Krs]

Hi guys,

New to the forum and I am looking to get back into cricket, have not played for over 16 years (used to be a batsman). Recently played two games and to be honest I am crap. I would like to get some help so that I could have a good should to get into my team next season. It's only village cricket but would like to gain some confidence and get my batting sorted. One of my main issues is that I lack confidence when I get to the crease and do stupid things eg: went to slog first ball and got bowled! Completely stupid.

Any help?

Where are you based KRS?

[Krs]

Croydon

The team I play for in kent do not have nets or train, but they are a good bunch of lads to get started with. However if I don't get my batting sorted then I won't have much chance of playing. I'm 31 lol feel old now

Where in Kent are you mate we do indoor nets all year and I am a level two coach

I am poo too, but we might be able to get a few like-minded souls together at th Oval over the winter and work on our deficiencies.

I am based in South London Croydon, however the team I am playing with is in Ightham (Sevenoaks area) which is 45 mins drive away.

Where abouts are you based?

[simonmay5]

We down the other side off Kent and we use a local school for nets we got a bowling machine and that but sounds a bit far for you to travel

Sounds like a great plan!

How many have you recruited so far?

[FattusCattus]

Those searching for self-improvement and to be a little less poo in West and South London will make themselves known. In addition to that, cricketing colossi such as Tim2000, Paul IJC and Buzz may be interested in an Oval net.

Wouldn't mind a little winter net if you ever arrange one I'm nota million miles away.

Ah yes, not forgetting the diminutive batting pixie that is Chris 'The Hole' Soulman - he'll teach you a thing or two!

[Krs]

So far we have three! Anymore people interested?

[ItsJustCricket]

Yes, if it's The Oval, I'm definitely interested!

My club train at the Latchmere Leisure Centre in Battersea, which would work out cheaper.  Facilities are, of course, better at The Oval though...

I'd be keen to get involved and put some faces to the names on here! I'm working down in London so would certainly be keen on joining in.

On that note I'm also on the lookout for a club, I played a few matches for Witham CC (a friend in the office captained the 2s) but would ideally be after someone closer to London! Any ideas??
