What a good thread. I love reading about others experiences in cricket.
Anyway, I have started training at University before the Christmas break. Had about 3 nets so far. I am quite sharp which suprised me, as I havent had pre-season this early for a couple of seasons since I left Lancashire. I am coping with it really well. The 80+ mph bowlers can be dangerous to face in our nets with green and blue walls behindn the bowlers arm, and although they keep testing me with bouncers, I am dealing with them comfortably. I am actually a bowler though, and this hasnt gone aswel as I would of liked. After the first net I got the usual stiff arm. I also am suffering from slight ligament pain in my wrist which is worrying.
All in all I hope this will improve in the coming weeks. Back to practise as of next week. I should make the team in February, but I guess time will tell.
Vice-captain of the mens team back at home this year, so looking forward to a succesful season.
