It was a typo!

It could be a way to replicate a match situation though. Face 3 or 4 deliveries in a row, then none for a couple of minutes.

Not my club, I am UK based but what a heartening watch about a thriving club in Aus:

No doubt some clubs will struggle with getting sides out this year. A motivating watch ahead of the UK 23 season.

Or the fact that I am often next into bat and it is the end of the innings.

Another 2 hours of nets today, 7 bowlers in each net. I got more tired today than any of the previous ones.

Not at all jealous Dave. Hope you had a good time.

Early start this season with a wee pre season trip to la manga. Decent start with a 78, but batting for 30 overs, keeping for 20 and bowling a few too was not what my body needed to ease me in. Todays game is going to be challenging  :D

Having a very strange start to pre-season. It hasn’t been helped by the fact winter nets have been on Saturdays so I’ve only managed to get to 3 of them.

The first and last of the three, I’ve batted like I’ve never played the game before and my bowling has been very hit and miss. The middle one I felt like Brian Lara with the bat and Glenn Mcgrath with the ball.

Had an absolute nightmare last season after moving to the north east - barely scoring a run for the first 7/8 games - before clawing back some form towards the end of the season. Going to be very interesting to see how I start the season in April!

Might be that you prefer or you need more nets per week.

Been at indoor nets since the end of November for a new club after several years just not really playing. Had some weeks where I've felt OK, then some Godawful ones where I can't do anything right, particularly with the ball and just keeping my head and arm straight. At least with outdoor nets on a weekly basis and and being able to go down there anytime I can work on a few things at my own leisure. Will hopefully get a few games with the 5s and just scratch that itch of playing again.

It's also been good that they're quite a social bunch; joining a new club is always daunting for me, so doing stuff like curry and quiz nights makes it all a lot, lot easier.
