    Me Batting in nets

    It depends how technical you want to go. Excuse the plug but I did an article on using the hips in batting on my website, linked below. Everything is free so please have a look. I write it for my friends and for my own enjoyment, not for money. If you don't want to have a look, think about...

    Batting against left-arm over the wicket pace bowlers

    I'm a left arm quicky (if you dont' believe me look at the photo!) and find that the angle is the thing that stuffs up batsmen the most.

    Four day Tests possible - ICC Chief

    If someone can give me a decent explanation of WHY it should change then maybe I'll consider it. I can only think that 4 day games would produce more draws: the fifth plays an important role becuase of the deterioration of the pitch: take out that day and you'll get 5 game series ending...
