Done a fair bit of work on my bowling action over the winter so early season the aim will be to get the changes grooved in. Felt ready for it in nets tonight, first time I've really picked up some rhythm since making the changes and bowled exactly how I wanted to, definitely quicker and more consistent with line/length/swing. Performance target with the ball is match or beat my wickets tally of 40 from last season, hopefully this will be helped by bowling more overs.

With the bat, a little more consistency - last year I got 50+ or was not out every time I made it past 15 in the league, but would like to be out early less often! Should be batting higher so coming in with more than 20 overs to go more regularly will hopefully give me the motivation to bat long more often rather than giving it away going for quick runs. Also to get the elusive ton!

Team-wise, I had a little run-in with our 1s captain last season and ended up in the 2s a lot. Change of captain thankfully, aim is to get my 1s spot back and nail down a regular position rather than being shunted around every week (season before I played every game in the 1s but batted everywhere from 1-8 and never in the same spot more than 2 weeks in a row).

I'll be glad to get out of the house   should be the first season in quite a few years that I can play a lot of games.  Hopefully I can get one 50 this season as batting isn't my strongest suit. I'm a much better keeper so hoping to get a sh*t load of stumping,  preferably some athletically pleasing leg side stumping,  they always feel impressive

This will be my sixth year playing and I've been netting hard again over the winter.

Last year I only scored 6 league 50's which should have been 11 out of 18 games but I let myself down. This year hopefully I can be far more clinical and convert into 50's and convert a few in tons (probably should have had 3 tons last year). Only avg's 37 and was very disappointed in myself so would like nearer 50 in the league this year.

(Excluding not outs, never include not outs )

Fantastic reply!  Not only speaking for yourself but also for the team.
Goodluck coming season, sounds like your ready to achieve some goals!

Nice! Enjoy!  Make sure those leg side stumpings look as impressive as they feel. Seen some dying Whales in my time hahaha.

Show off! Only 6.. pff haha. It's good to have a goal, something to aim at. If you don't achieve it, try to find the cause and work in that. Don't just repeat repeat repeat cause apparently somewhere you go wrong.
But if you don't achieve it don't be to hard on yourself, make yourself proud next game.

BTW @ProCricketer1982  how have you been, it's been a while ahahaha.

Well as it's my first year playing in a new country on astro wickets at a standard that is far above my own I'm just hoping I don't end up hating cricket and pack it in altogether!

Which country are you going to play in?

In the USA at the moment...longing for the lush green fields of England and the sound of leather on willow!

[LeonieKelly18]

Don't worry, the astro isn't too bad once you get used to it. I played on it a lot too. Just it's annoying when not taken care of properly.

[InternalTraining]

good! my coach always told me. anyone could trick a batsman but only a real bowler can control him. i prefer 6dots to 1 wicket.  Make sure you're confident and feel calm dont try to hard cause it wont go right.

That is interesting. Also, I think it is true of a batter as well.  If as a batter, you can control the ebb and flow of an inning, then I think you are in a great place. Hit when you want and defend when you want.

I play on Astro and it is a lot of fun.
