I'm a number 11 batsman so I find spinners easy if they don't flight the ball. If they flight it, I will get stumped because I just go for a wild slog and miss the ball altogether.

Even 70mph is too fast for me, I am comfortable at 60-65 at max. Anything higher and I cannot play with a straight bat anymore. I bet if I had started earlier I could play higher speeds but I first picked up a bat in my 20s

I played baseball up to the Varsity level and football up till the end of junior high

Sadly, I normally come number 3 or 4. So I end up facing the darn spinners :
Especially since my team mates depend on me to hold the innings together I cannot go for a slog fest

I hope you are talking about real cricket because if its a tennis ball then it does not count

Of course real cricket ball.
Sadly haven't played in a while now.
Studies have forced cricket to take a back seat.
Sigh.

I was planning on taking a break from Saturdays during June with my A2 exams almost here, but because of my immense form I have decided to continue playing. Here's hoping I still get into uni

Treva haven't you already applied? I mean university applications close by December and you get an offer by now.

 

[treva]

Yeah but it is a conditional offer. I need to get BBC grades to get into my first choice uni, Lincoln, and BCC to get into Derby.

Eastenders included in that?

Tsk, stereotypes. It's more the parents who want their children to be stuff like that.

I never really played cricket - I did play, until it got banned in my school when I was in Grade 6, and the serious training only started in Grade 5, so was disappointing. I was an opening batsman, but I was generally chosen for my fielding. The ban eventually forced me to switch to football, athletics and swimming in school. Dubai is quite horrid, school-wise, in terms of facilities.
