No sooner had we finished our last games of the summer season than we started into the indoor cricket season. Two senior teams and 6 Colts’ teams have been entered into various competitions over the winter.
With so much indoor cricket in prospect, it seems sensible for the coaches to run a few sessions around the specifics of the indoor game, at least until we start to work on pre-season drills for the new summer season. (more…)
What question would you ask the greatest all-rounder the game has ever known?
How to polish a cricket ball?
Me neither.
But I heard this from someone who asked this question of Sir Garfield Sobers – just one degree of separation from greatness…and a great tip, too!
The trick is to keep the ball dry, and to polish so hard that the ball becomes hot. Try it – it really does work.
When I started this blog, I set myself a little (unwritten) rule. I would never write “it was better in the old days”…
So I am going to struggle with this next post…but here we go.
Why is the Club game so slow these days? It wasn’t like this when I was a lad.
(I said it was an unwritten rule. Now it is broken.)
I umpired a game last Sunday. 40 Overs a side. Start time was 1 PM. And we finally got in to tea at twenty to five.
