    Going on tour

    Can't you ask your coaches because you do play for your 'national' team, afterall. I'm surprised you have only just started playing on turf. :dry: It's stupid you say "what shots should I be playing on a green pitch" and stuff like that, because you should play every ball on it's merits. We...

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    In the domestic limited over competitions, where does White usually bat for Victoria? Top 5?

    Early Ashes Predictions

    Well, it's so hard to pick. Injuries, pitch conditions, rain etc all play a factor, but at the moment I will say 3-1. I reckon I will be able to make a more in depth guess in the week or even month leading up to the series.

    ***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2008/09

    Shame to see a whole day washed out, I won't be surprised at all if we see a draw now. However, it is like the format they usually play, because during the regular season they play 4 day games, so perhaps they will approach it like every other match now.

    How do you prepare your bat for playing

    You use linseed oil.

    How to approach swing bowling.

    Allrounder. Not sure whether batting or bowling though, probably more pure than anything.

    Favorite cricketbat brand

    I like Slazengers, personally. I have had 3 bats for games, and they have all been Slazengers. I have a cheap crappy Grey-Nicolls Nitro for using at school.

    Whats the role of No. 3 and 4 batsman

    If you are defensive, you shouldn't be batting at 3 unless you are promoted to come in after the first ball at 1/0. In a Twenty20 match, there really isn't time for a defensive batsmen so high up the order, and if the openers make 40-70 there wouldn't be much time to play yourself in.

    How to approach swing bowling.

    I don't know why you're asking me, but I am 13, play under 15's and 4th grade for seniors. Also captain my school under 14's side.

    Bowling faster!

    Dire bump. I have shortened it. I currently run in off 11 steps, but I bowl a lot slower.

    How to approach swing bowling.

    You have a very similar role to me. I am also an allrounder, probably more a pure allrounder than a batting TBH. Could be a bowling allrounder. Where are the balls pitched you are trying to drive? Front foot or back foot drives?

    ***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2008/09

    Anyone reckon Doran will bowl over 20 overs for the match? I reckon he should definitely bowl more over than that hack I'm-captain-so-I-will-bowl-myself-for-50-overs-per-innings Simpson.

    **Official** NRL 2009 Thread

    He hasn't actually been cleared, but at the moment there is inclusive information. He is still suspended for 5 rounds (4 games) at the moment.

    How to approach swing bowling.

    What position in the team do you play? Batsmen, bowler, allrounder? I would assume you bat pretty high up the order if you have trouble against the new rock, either that or your team sucks and you come in very early. :p What age group is this? What type of ball do you use? I highly doubt they...

    Off Spin bowling

    :huh: You should always be playing shots with the spin AFAIC, I don't think you get top edges from playing with the spin, even if it's cross batted shots.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    FFS, they spelt Michael Clarke wrong. Pet hate of mine. Laughlin is very questionable. Warner should never be anything but a Twenty20 specialist at international level, purely for the entertainment factor. Haurtiz isn't the worst pick, decent one day bowler. EDIT: Didn't see Clapo's post.

    Cricketweb's Virtual NRL 2009

    Ok. I am already doing a tipping comp and dreamteam competiton, and don't venture out of the Cricket Chat section on this forum very much, so I will have to withdraw from this competition.

    Off Spin bowling

    If it is down leg, sweep shots and pull shots come in to play. If it's short, don't hesitate in hitting it. If it's a good ball, respect it. Try to play with the spin when you can, and hitting down the ground, whether along the ground or lofted is very effective, because very rarely will a...

    Cricketweb's Virtual NRL 2009

    I've got no clue what I am supposed to do after naming my team. Anyone want to explain or I will just have to drop out.

    Should Brett Lee be selected for the Ashes?

    ****, forgot Johnson and I can't edit the post anymore. Johnson would be first seamer picked, FTR.
