Hi,

Let me introduce myself im a 14 year old batsmen.
Im 5'11 and big built. I see my self as a opener or 3/4 batsmen. I play straight but aggressive and love the sport.

My kit for the season is as follows.

CA 10000 Plus Bat
MB Malik Sher bat
Puma Flextech pads
Plain white gloves
GN Helmet
Addidas spikes

I will update this with net sessions and matches.

Nets are Mondays until 1st May then its Thursdays.

I will also add pics of me batting in matches.

Good luck for the season Banjo, Pretty random kit but oh well . It seems everyone including me has training on Monday...

 

[banjo6]

Yeah there is a lot of surprise when they see a White Irish lad using Asian bats.

Just an update about Monday's nets how it went.

Batted second as usual in the nets and got a good start.
I knew it would be a good session when on the second ball our fastest bowler bowled a attempted yorker which i swiftly put away with a cover drive.
There was two spinners bowling and played them both well i like to move my feet to the spinners but still just drive along the floor. The only duff shot to the spinners was a sweep which a misjudged in the indoor nets because of the lights (Get my excuses in) which i tried to sweep a ball not for sweeping but i still would of got a couple of runs despite having to overstretch a bit. I played the spinners well coming down the wicket and getting runs. The only real problems i had was the Left Arm Over bowler but he kept bowling on my legs so i kept getting runs including a few Leg Byes which come off my thigh.(Not the best thing to a 75 mph bowler when your not wearing thigh pads) but i was happy with how it went and the coach said ive improved alot (I bloody hope i have because my average was 27 last year so if it improves ill be delighted.) Now the bowling err lets just say it was not the best exhibition of medium pace you have ever seen. (Ive been working on my off spin lately and am changing to that.)

But overrall a good session as i do not care about bowling its the batting that matters.

Btw i refuse to wear thigh and elbow pads i find they just slow you down and if i get hit on the thigh so be it.
