jadenb42 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I've always wondered that, as a kid all you want to do is bat, but I guess as they get older they just train and practice at what they are good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I mean, some of the bowlers are worse than Village openers. Like Monty and that NZ guy who never batted in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I just don't understand how bowlers can be such bad batsmen, when they're professional cricketers. Do you think a goalkeeper should also be able to play as a striker? When i played cricket for the school, I was a bowler. Batting never interested me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) I just don't understand how bowlers can be such bad batsmen, when they're professional cricketers. I don't know that they all are. Unless they're real rabbits, drop them down a level or two and they probably look like decent players. Edited May 26, 2013 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 174 all out. Surely gotta enforce the follow on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Batting again. Way too cautious, we're all over them ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batting never interested me That's completely different because GK's don't ever have to play outfield. Batting is a fundamental part of the game, regardless of whether you're a batsman or a bowler.

flamingsombrero Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 If this gets rained into a draw tomorrow I don't want to hear a peep out of the England dressing room about it, it will be their own damn fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Batsmen need practice before the Ashes. The result of this game is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I like that Trott takes his style of play from his own name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Ermm - what is going on at Warks ? Have only seen 2 games at Edgbaston and we lost both. Having endured a nerve-jangling season at the Villa, it looks like the Bears could be in the same boat. I know it is fairly early in the season but the signs aren't good. Lost again today to Northants. Any thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Any thoughts ? We've won two county games already this season down here. Hurrah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Giles obviously hasn't helped things either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Well we wrapped that up nicely. Anderson grabbing the last wicket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 So whilst the mighty Surrey were sticking it to leaders Sussex today , Essex managed to be bowled out for 20 runs by Lancs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 And as I mentioned earlier - what the hell is happening to Warks ? I don't like the look of this situation; clubs like Surrey get Ponting and now Duminy. Even the bread-stealers (Lancashire) have got a good Kiwi fast bowler for the rest of the season. If Warks slip out of the first division for want of bolstering the squad ........ I will join the One direction fan-club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally have no batsmen, thanks to the enormous loans taken out with the council etc to cover the cost of the new pavilion etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yes I think you are right but that is poor management somewhere along the line. Isn't it something to do with us not getting Ashes Tests; something like that and if so shouldn't assurances have been gained before launching into such a big project ? I think we members are entitled to be concerned. Sod it; The Tour starts soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
