Not directed at anyone in particular this, but why is it when people use bowling machines they feed each other friendly half vollies on off stump? I think that is a complete waste of time.  When I do bowling machine sessions I work on short bowling, spin technique, back foot drives - shots that I have to use in a game where I am weaker.

The point of a bowling machine session is to work on weaknesses not pat back gentle friendly stuff.

Can't agree more, I hate it because you're playing the same shot/s over and over again when I need to work on the shots I'm not good at.

Uploaded some of my more challenging nets...

[Mr Cricket]

if your who im thinking of you play at woodhall spa? did you get the chance to net with fawad when he was there?

[lovers99]

Yeah that's right. He didn't net with us because he was living in London. Had some throw downs with him before games- he was always practising his forward defence! He said all his game was based around it, batted with him a few times and put a couple of partnerships on with him. Don't think in his 8 games he played 1 cover drive though- all cuts and flicks.Great lad, top professional and passionate about all aspects of the game- with the crap surrounding Pakistan this summer, he was a credit to his country.

Fawad is crazy, last time I saw him net the bowling machine was on max off 15 yards!

I knew I recognised the net from somewhere!

[lovers99]

Netted there before???

[chipsticks]

all you guys look like you have such good nets

the ones around me are terrible, too dark so you struggle to see the ball. or with terrible mats so the ball doesnt get above waist high. we even have mats with uneven bounce somehow  its terrible.

Let me know if you can see this.

Not me but the best batsman at our club imo.
