    Opening the batting

    Generally u want a low backlift for opening the batting and generally just work the ball around, turning the strike over. It's important to play straight, especially early on in the innings. Also leaving the ball go is important so that no unecessary edges occur. Playing the ball late is also...

    Does anybody think Andrew McDonald is test match quality (besides the aussie selectors)????????????? Why wouldnt you put in a Marcus North or a David Hussey or Brad Hodge. They are far better batsmen who can all bowl well, especially at the SCG. Hayden probably should have been sent to state...

    Fielding in slips

    Fielding in slips would have to be one of the hardest positions to field at. Fileding at slips requires you to be ontop of your catching technique. Its important to stay as low to the ground for as late as possible, just like a wicket keeper should. Watch the ball into the hands, keeping them...

    ***Official*** South Africa In Australia

    Clarks a huge loss to the australian side. Especially when his replacement is peter siddle. Does anybody else rate peter siddle other than the australian selectors???? I would like to know if anybody else does. They should put in Maggofin or a Brett Dorey in, especially at the WACA. These two...

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

    Any thoughts of shaun marsh opening the batting for W.A. He did all right against the west indies opening but he has done barely anything opening for W.A. He's seemed to have lost his natural stroke play and looks a bit uncomfortable opening. I think he would be more effective coming in at #3 or...

    PUMA BALLISTIC 5000 or GN FUSION 2 750

    The fusion is better out of the two in my view. Personally, you should go with the bradbury sterling.

    dale steyn I was reading the west australian newspaper today and was fascinated by an article on dale steyn. According to the article, steyn has been keeping close tabs on the australians, maticuously making notes and studying the australians on pretty much everything for the past 2-3 years. I...

    Help Jakester improve his batting

    I would suggest the same thing. Play with a straight bat and look to play straight. Are you getting out to the pitch of the ball or are you being caught out on the crease? It may be down to your footwork. Is you weight coming over the front foot or are you leaning back. If your not getting over...

    Australia does tend to rely heavily on their batsmen. There bowlers are only good because the aussoes are good in the field.

    Haddins playing well. Although Luke Ronchi is putting his hand up for selection. Both are great wicketkeepers and batsmen. I would like to see ronchi playing in the one day team. He played well for Australia against the West Indies with a quick-fire 60. Ronchi also has the ability of playing a...

    I reckon fulton should bat at #3. Can anybody explain how hauritz gets called into the test team, when he doesnt even play for NSW in sheffield shield??? He's a decent player but im not sure if he'll be capable of putting in a decent performance. What about Heal for the test team after...
