We did a random cricket practice session

@Lugwho can you say this again in layman terms lol or non cricket jargon

@Gangstress Try to be sideways to the batsmen when you bowl, so your shoulder is facing down the pitch. This might be a bit old fashioned, but it's how my dad taught me.

Reach for the stars was a tip from Alan Donald, SA bowler. Get your leading arm high to help get more speed and bowl from as high a point as possible.

Top of off-stump is obvious isn't it, the stump outside the bat. Also called the corridor of uncertainty, but that was Geoff Boycott and I didn't really want to quote him.

@Lugwho thanks so much for this
Will definitely take this on board 👌

Any advice is helpful

@Gangstress Having said all that, there's a lot to be said for just doing what feels right.

@Lugwho yeh but what feels right ends up making the goal go wide 😅

So i need to stand tall! I keep dipping and there's no force
I stopped taking a run and stood tall and managed to get the ball on target so thats key i feel

@Gangstress I always have a notion to start playing again around this time of year. Then I remember my knees being so painful I struggled to walk until Thursday after game at the weekend 🙃

@Lugwho tbh i have a knee problem atm but im just working through the pain. Will have to get it sorted in autumn/winter

Have you been to the docs etc? Hope its not too painful

@Gangstress I went when I first had trouble. He sent me for x-rays and they found nothing. I just carried on and put up with the pain.
