£30 for 60 minutes in the Lane and anyone can grab a bowling machine, so could be for just the net or for the net & machine depending on who else is there on the day.

30 is reasonable for lane and machine. 40 isn't too bad if there are no alternatives around.

Bola yes

I am currently constructing a indoor facility  to save me the cash :). It'll be built by the season so I can hit balls easily and at any time if day. It doesn't really cost that much, 2.5k for bola, balls and feeder and then just net costs. The main pain in the backside is the setting up etc

I've just stuck £20 on you for an England call up  :)

Last season I regularly (10-15 sessions) used a Bola bowling machine on a Friday evening and found it really helped my batting on the Saturday. Fortunately I paid a quite a reasonable rate of £22.00 per hour.

I should also add that I set-up a digital camera (which has a HD video functionality) on at least a couple of occasions then watched myself at home. It was quite an eye opener to see how I stood in different places almost every delivery and when I stood well outside legstump, this was causing me lean to too far across in front of the stumps and becoming a prime LBW candidate.

I think what works by batting in the nets is that muscle memory increases considerably.
