how is aus going aidy, scoring loads of runs?

not really mate 20's/30's but its quite hard first grade but i would say my standard is equal back home but im working hard technically in the nets as i struggle out here with bounce! and the pitches where i am are slower but bounce so i keep getting caught cover/ mid off! however i seem to have rectified this and play a late cut or open the face to third man instead of driving on the upish which in england i would do easily as a bit more pace and less bounce.

however even though i havent made any runs out here i can feel in myself that when i come back to england i will be twice the player i was bolwing and batting as i have matured a lot more aswell as just learning more, so time will tell when i come home how many runs and wickets i get....

Agreed with everything said aidy. I previously had a venom no antidote hence bought the 'pro' even tho there is no difference. I was actually about to purchase a pink venom pro until Fozzie came and suggested a diff bat. The bat i had chosen, Fozzie said it had a high middle which isnt suitable for club pitches and the toe was very thin meaning more chances of damage on the toe. I bought this bat (£225), platinum gloves (£45) and platinum pro pads (65) and was charged £330, so i guess i gt 5£ off lol.

THEY SAY WE DO BUT ITS A LOAD OF BS, well jusdging by fozzies bat =no we dont!!!!

it picked up like a feather and pinged unbelievably! i was hitting balls into the wall! and fozzie loved this bat if i was in england for the last game he wud have given it to me as it was pretty badly damaged and warsop was trying to extend the lifespan.

i always go in their dressing room as my stepdad knows graham napier but suprisignly he doesnt give anything out, i got kaneria's shirt! tendoeschate's nie spikes x2 one brand new blue pair from SA and some gm gloves! ermmm.... tim phillips one day shirt.

oh and for the record ten doeschate uses warsop aswell as i was sitting with him and i was like yeh im gonna get a gm and he said mate dont! warsops are the best bats around here and i looked at his bat and was about to say "is it a warsop then" and he laughed before i could say anything and nodded! as they aint allowed to say there bats arnt GM under contract i was speakin to ravi about against worchesshire, and i have endo's email and asked him for stickers! lol and he said he wud get strung up giving the stickers out but i cna have gloves.

fozzie and tendo best blokes around, worst bloke= mark pettini so arrogant!

nobodies bats are what you think they are, i think that kranzbuhler makes for pretty much all of the aussie team and how many actually have gn stickers... cameron white, is that it?

micheal clarke uses impala and will only use impala as he is apparently superstitious like that, ponting also uses impala but will pick up bats from all round the world and whateer takes his fancy! phil hughes did have some kook factorys and got some bats off ponitng i believe however when he went to south africa he apparently brought back around 10-20 D&P bats and has used them ever since. warner uses impala, watson uses kransbuhler, hussey is a millichamp man apparently aswell as kransbuhler! and yeh i love watching pettinin but he is the definition of the word knobhead!

so im pretty sure they just pickup bats from all arou the world and whatever takes their facy
