The Reverse

I am playing with a new technique, as I am sure you can tell. I like the way it helps highlight MS Dohni and his reverse sweep. For anyone foolhardy enough to play the shot it highlights several key points - big stride, strong hands and above all else watch the ball.

Your Out

It doesn't matter how great you are or how many career centuries you have scored, sometimes you are just out. Notice how it always seems to hurt.

Warm Up

As modern cricketers it is very important to stretch and warm up, especially as one gets a little older.

Staying Grounded

The power, confidence and beauty of youth - or something like that.

We've been posting a lot of bowlers lately so it is time to address the balance and concentrate on a few of the young gun batsman.

Only in cricket could you get into this positon and it would be a good thing.
