Yeah it's me from a few season ago before I started using a gopro

English ?

Haha the square leg umpire was our team mate.

It's practice so we don't have them up. But they do go up like sails for matches 😂

@@alpinecricketer hmm. Without them ball gets lost in airs for > 130 kmph

That probably explains why I couldn't pick the one guy with a high release point

@@alpinecricketer right

It was a very big swing wasn't it

The yellow balls bounced ridiculously high

@@alpinecricketer I don’t like it because I feel claustrophobic

@valiants97 yeah I can see that. You're very close to the other nets too! But I'm glad we have that facility nearby.

Not a bad indoor place. Lots of lanes and kit

Plenty of spyder and cobra bats around staffordshire

@@alpinecricketer where is cobra made my mate is the only one IK who has one

@@valiants97 The shop is just outside of Eccleshall

@@alpinecricketer oh ok thank you

Thanks for finding the channel! The last bit wasn't clear. You played at alsager ? How many did you get ?

@@alpinecricketer played against alsager at alsager and got 19 before my partner sent me back and I got run out

@@valiants97 nice one, run outs are the worst! Luckily I haven't been involved in one this season yet

Skipper batted first as we'd been posting strong totals batting first. Was a tight game!

Thanks, 7 balls left in the game wasn't much time to make an impact but did my best. In the end we were probably 20-30 runs short.

The perfect way to bounce back after defeat in the league. Yeah I feel like I'm starting to get some rhythm with my bowling this season, I am sure the batting will come soon. Hopefully I get picked for the QF!

The full video is linked. It was a little more than 10 😉

It wasn't as seamer friendly as you'd think. Quite hard underneath but the spinners found some purchase

Even with all that grass?

It's a bit of a tricky angle but I think it was missing.

I would say no, I don't even think the ball was in line. His shin wasn't directly Infront of the wicket.

If you knew our team 196 is a very good score. But it was a pre season game to glad we could get out and shake off the cobwebs.

We both agreed this over a beer after 🤣🤣

Thanks mate, I seem to play my best when we've lost of few wickets. Normally I would bat 5,6 or 7 but as it was a friendly we gave some juniors a go higher up the order.

Thanks for the feedback and support Craig. I noticed in the last game with the rain just how dark it was. I'll remember it for the next video!

Its really helped the last two weeks, combined with scoring some runs in the games. I feel more confident. Would love the chance to score some runs in my preferred position.

@@alpinecricketer keep practicing and keep growing love to you mate☺

Yes indeed, nice to be back scoring

Do you mean the spinner? I didn't notice anything while facing him. But it raised a few eyebrows on the sidelines

@@alpinecricketer yes, the rubber elbow ! lol

@@mrgrunty definitely erased me from the pitch!

Thanks mate. 20-30 more runs on the board would have made it very interesting. Was great to finally contribute in a game.

It was great fun joe, hope we get to do it again some time. Best of luck to you guys also!

Cracking ball by the way 🤣

@@joebarton4674 surprised myself 😂

@@alpinecricketer 🤣

Thanks! I was very happy with that shot. Yes I need to work on getting my shoulders and feet further towards outside off stump. I'll be honest I was very hesitant to chase anything out there with wickets falling regularly.

@@alpinecricketeryeah on that green stuff u can’t really be poking around outside off

@@ByronWright-vu1rx it was a good challenge for us!

Friendly for the gardeners and seamers that's for sure!

I'm English so naturally am supporting England, but I also live in Canada so want them to do well. Beating Ireland was important for them. And the USA game was huge! Just need england to beat Australia tonight.

Thanks for supporting

Depends on the model

@@alpinecricketer even the c line and t line series is so expensive in sri lanka

Most plagiarized delivery out there

Thanks, eager to get out to the middle now!

@@alpinecricketer when u do, remember to leave a little more, most of the shots look solid enough

@@ByronWright-vu1rx I'm definitely still reaching a lot.

Thanks mate. Hoping to get some more games in soon

I've been in the nets with a coach today lots of foot drills and playing it late. Hoping that brings out a few improvements!

Sound

😂😂😂 so good there won't be another ball like it in that game.

Definitely feeling a lot more confident than last week. Just need to have a good run out in the middle. Our skipper is working to get some things organized.

Thanks and good luck with your game. It's been so stop start with the weather. Hopefully we all get a good block to get some games in. Likewise with the world cup!

Thanks for the comment! I was able to do some of this in a net yesterday. Must admit the last two sessions I've felt a lot better. New video just gone live but the footage from filming behind and at the side will be up over the weekend. Would love any further feedback you could give. I've also got a coaching session sorted for tomorrow. Thanks for watching!
