cool would of loved to have had a crack at that level as the one thing always buggs me as to how quick i could've got as decent speed at 17(would've loved to have passed 90 but big difference between 85 and 90) but family has arthritis in knees will need an op in 30's but our minor county had a friendly against hampshire other season so hope to get a shot at that in i can hit my targets

Couldn't net today, 10 stitches in my top lip :(

Treid convincing my mum to let me go, she said no.

Turns out 10 minutes into the session one of our bowlers had three teeth knocked out and his lip cut all the way to the base of his nose.

Freaky.

had the best net so far yesterday, everything seemed to come out of the middle. was pretty chuffed, first team skipper was also watching so all the better. hopefully i can start the season better than last season, shouldnt take too much, 1 run in the frst two games would do it!

Did my first net session!!! Bowling was terrible, as usual and batting was odd. I got a bit of stick with the cor3 and the ayrtec helmet. Sadly I didn't silence the critics, I was rusty and terrible. Still, the bat had a great feel to it, I had a few blocks which due to the angle of the bat made the ball travel back quite fast. Our 1st captain ("bishop" as ian know him) loved the middle on it

We have the best indoor facilities in Ireland at my club... only lords contends with it imo :L

No need for mats as the floor is all like a artificial surface, long runs ups, no one has had a problem since Paul Mooney left lol. Lighting is very good when all lights are on.....

BUT I despise nets... I just can't bowl when I don't have a field to bowl to. Batting isn't to bad but again I don't like batting when there isn't a field so you can nudge balls into gaps ect. But I train like 5 times a week so I try to get used to it :S

I'v been playing twice on sundays - indoor cricket during the day, then nets in the afternoon. The indoor cricket is played off 19 yards because the balls apparant lightness - it makes batting more instinctive and bowling a pleasure.
Nets in the evening are polar opposite - batting feels like you have an eternity and bowling seems impossibly slow.

I would say that i feel my batting has come on a lot because of the shortened pitches used in indoor cricket, my bowling is still fine and working on variations really for the season.

Wesfield School at Yeovil - it's a small sports centre. It's called the Cougar League.

All county grounds have the same surface which is good so theyll all as good as each other really.

Loughborough is probably the best as it has hawk eye on every net linked to plasmas in an analysis room
