    Jakes off season diary

    During the off season I don't do anything much. Anything up to 4-5 sessions per week, but preferably nothing on Sunday.

    Should Brett Lee be selected for the Ashes?

    Well who would you rate better when he tore apart Sri Lanka and India during the 2007/08 series after returning from an injury? I think he was the best fast bowler during that period, taking 40 wickets @ 20.57. Steyn has a bloody good record during that time as well, 78 wickets @ 16.24.

    That would be gun. I can't actually think of anywhere I can do chin ups around here TBH, I used to be able to do it on the old set of swings we had but they went when my sister and I grew up.

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

    Junction doesn't worry White I would mind either if I was a batsmen batting on a road like the Junction. :p I haven't heard much about how the pitch will play, but from the small amount of stuff I've read I assume it will be a road?

    Should Brett Lee be selected for the Ashes?

    If Lee has some match fitness, I agree. If not, Bollinger/McGain should be in.

    ***Official*** Australia in South Africa

    McGain replacing McDonald? McDonald hasn't even secured his spot in the side, and hasn't exactly done a heck of a lot of bowling lately. Johnson should be rested and McGain brought in, and Siddle replaced by Bollinger. That way, there are the 3 of McDonald, McGain, Bollinger and Hilfenhaus...

    Should Brett Lee be selected for the Ashes?

    If he has played a test or game of shield cricket, probably yes. Hilfenhaus would miss out for mine. I would take Lee, Clark, Siddle, Bollinger, Watson/McDonald as the paceman, and McGain/whatever spinner takes wicket for the spinner.

    Scoring runs

    I am the same. I am very slow batsmen when we are not chasing a very big total in little time. I never go over the top or do anything like this, I just play along the ground and try to find the gaps. But I cant! For example, I went back to seniors last week on 3* overnight. In 8 overs (the...

    Cheers mate. It's actually like that for a reason. It shows up in Astrix if I don't write it like that, and you can't get on. You can type it out (the dot means a . like that etc) into your browser and it will work.

    Whats the role of No. 3 and 4 batsman

    Personally, in Twenty20, I like to have 1, maybe 2 big slogger openers, 1 or 2 grafters, who guys who nudge it at 3 and sometimes 4, and sloggers at 5, 6 and sometimes 7. Then the tail.

    What gets you and your teamates fired up?

    Haha, I was waiting for your post in this thread. To add to my earlier post, the read dickhead opposition and when the opposing teams players do something against the spirit of the game.

    Jakes off season diary

    Got in a small bodyweight workout in my room, did 4 sets off 10 squats, 5 sets of 25 calf raises, 3 sets of 15 sit ups and 3 sets of 12 push ups. Struggled on all apart from the calf raises, will be looking to increase squats to 12 reps or 5 sets, calf raises to 30 reps, sit ups to 20 reps and...

    Bowling finger spin

    Always good to have a short cover or if you are allowed, a short leg. Short leg is better than silly mid off, because the ball is spinning towards the right hands batsmens legs, giving more inside edges and stuff. Pitch it full, invite the drive, and toss it above the batsmens eye level.

    What gets you and your teamates fired up?

    Anything that gets us a wicket TBH. Good catches, run outs etc always help.
