2 minutes is fine on normal plank, it's side plank I can't do more than about a minute on. Guh.

tumo are you doing them straight after a normal plank? or with a small rest?

What county are trying to play for matey?

I'd probably be looking to incorporate some sprints into your training mate. Endurance has it's place (long runs), but the ability to rapidly accelerate and recover quickly inbetween would be useful (running between the wickets and fielding).

if your an iPhone user then there is a great app called iFitness which has everything on it, even cricket specific training programmes.

About 30 second rest mate, my obliques are weak as all hell so It's a buggar for me!

[chipsticks]

tumo, try strengthening them if their struggling, or have you tried? no offence if you have.
if going to strengthen, then im a fan of weighted bends (leaning over to one side and then to the other with a dumbbell in each hand) or simply oblique crunches (crunch but with legs bent to one side)
would be worth working them away from central core and abs if their weak like you say
