Hey Ryan

Think the plan is a proper net based on numbers so better get loose! Dotball is good facilities with 2 nets with run up (which we're after) and 2 shorter all 4 have a bowling machine anyway in worst case

So it's you, Simmy, Dave, Chris, myself (Andy), @Lumsden & Russ (@RF) plus of course anyone else who's interested

Should be a good laugh

Question is for a net of 7 how many bats will rock up?!

[smilley792]

The lane booked is a run up lane. So hopefully we shall have a bowl
But as dave says there is a machine for each lane as back up.

ams list of attendees is correct.


As for bats. Who knows me and dave had a net last week and there was 9 bats present just for the two of us. ........

[Ryan]

Sounds good, mind if I bring another body, he's not a bad bowler and a top class bat.

[smilley792]

I may sound like a party pooper when I say this but.

A few others asked the same. And i said I'd rather keep it open to forum members first. And if numbers short then bring in ringers.

As we now have 7, I can't really say yes to you without saying yes to others. And then, well we are gonna be near 15 and that would be a little pandemonius.

Sorry.

[Ryan]

No worries mate, thought I'd best of asking rather than assuming. Look forward to see you all Tuesday

Net is tomorrow guys. 7pm at Dotball. Directions above. Any issues why you can't make or may be late let me know as we do have 2hrs booked.

Snow may seem a problem. But I've been driving round sheffield for the last two days and the main roads are clear and most side roads passable.
Dotball is accessible.


Am thinking 25 mins bat each. Which takes up most the 2 hrs and leaves time for batsmen swap and bag ogling.

I may also get a machine net up mate as i'm worried who the bowlers are as i know Ryan bowls darts and Simmy and me are keepers

I doubt Dotball will be packed if needed.

I'll bowl all day if not on my own, and despite my bizarre action, will give people some practice, i also have a few side arms (if anyone can use them in a safe manner)

[Ams4287]

I do bowl military medium (at best  ) seamers Dave and like Chris am happy to bowl away, unfortunately not easy to bowl cutters indoors lol! I'm sure we'll be fine. As for a sidearm hmmm #lethal!

Chris appreciate your not bringing the whole collection, and well the laver would pickup 2oz on the journey with the weather but would you mind bringing the high spined red ink finished oversized cleft please. I'm intrigued by different shapes that you would not normally come across (the T20 bats also interest me so we'll see what Dave has come up with at the last trip to b3!).

Looking forward to it as i've not done anything since September

Cheers
Andy

Big bag!

[smilley792]

Plenty off room when no whites, spikes, towel and food aren't in there. 

Tbh i ise a duffel mainly. but got big wheelie out for the net.

[Lumsden]

Looking forward to this although somewhat conservatively I'm only bringing 2 bats.

[RF]

I'll be there tonight, looking toward to it.
My bowling is very slow also, nothing to worry about and I've not had a bat since September so I'll be more than pleased if I hit a few.
I'm only bringing 2 bats but I'm afraid that if I stay on this forum for much longer I'll end up with far more bats than I need or my ability justifies
