Cricket Nets
This evening I have my first pre-season cricket net of the year, and good lord, I’m excited.
Last year I noticed a bit of a tendency to drive in the air, so the off-season has seen me remodel my back-lift in order to attempt to rectify this problem. I think it will enable me to keep my front elbow high through the shot, thereby ensuring that the ball stays along the ground.
In addition, I’ve also made a couple of minor alterations to my bowling action: I’ve slightly shortened my approach to the crease and decided to lower my bowling arm a fraction in order to get more break from leg to off.
That’s the theory anyway – tonight I put it into practice. I’ve got a feeling that this season might be a good one for yours truly. I need to really cement my place as Hyde Heath’s leading leg-spinning all-rounder under 25. So in concrete terms: at least one half-century, a five-wicket haul, and less than three dropped catches. Moderate, but attainable.
Anyone in the slightest bit interested in this? I thought not.
I’m sure I speak for the entire Spoonfed team, and the wider general public, when I wish you the best of luck with Hyde Heath in the forthcoming season.
