And so It begins.
« on: October 13, 2010, 06:51:42 PM »
Well a few of us have decided to enter the indoor league in north yorkshire this season after realising 6months is far too long to wait to pick the bats up again. I keep thinking to myself.... Remember the ball is always live, run at every given oppurtunity and don't forget you can be caught off the Walls! Anyone else got any tips or tricks that may help us dominate this year?? Or do you play in another league with any strange rules. I heard ramblings some leagues have taken the one hand one bounce garden ruling literally. Can't see too many being pleased with that one!!

usually a crap fielder or a gap, hit and run to gaps or crap fielder, or play hard and straight!

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Just run everything. It is amazing how often you get away with it. Just remember to run line that block throwing angles. The soft hands defensive shot is the most useful in indoor.

Were at Tadcaster north Yorkshire choppy.  Called the Yorkshire indoor cricket school I think. Or it used to be anyway. Yeah I've been through the extras etc with one of the lads. And I'm pretty quick so could go everytime I guess. Played b4 but it was a jnr league and we walked it. I was considering getting the reverse sweep and flick behind stumps out but there's no scoring zones behind the batter apparently.

Yes, I've played there thats all as there aren't to many Indoor schools around in Yorkshire. Its qute run down, but does a decent enough job for nets and matches a like. Think Steve Lawrence runs it, as well he has something to do with Rehmani cricket, nice guy.

Wait, wait and wait again then slap it into the floor towards the nets.
Bowling wise bowl around the ribs and straight.

Im starting to play indoor cricket for the first time next week and was wondering what equipment you need? Is it just a bat or do you need any protection?

Bat & gloves really. Up to you if you wanna wear a box or not. Some of lads I play with wear one and some dont. Great fun indoor cricket though, bloody tiring though. Just ask Simmy about that.

I have really been making the double bouncer work in indoor this year, pitch it about a foot in front of me, not much of a bounce but just slowly goes towards batsman and pitches for the second bounce around yorker length!
