LVCC - Somerset v Durham

As a former bowler myself I do sympathise with the no ball problem. Statements like it cannot be that hard, are so far from the mark from people who genuinely struggle. No matter where you mark your run up, it is convincing your brain to trust the distance, and resist the temptation to mess about with your stride pattern. Look at Harrison's run up. The start of it has that quirky bouncing which suggests they are trying things to resolve it.

I know some people say just bowl a yard back but it makes such a difference to your pace and rhythm, as well as messing your length up. I am sure he will get there, he will have to as a pro cricketer, but it isn't as simple as just getting in the nets.

Doesnt need to be though, needs a few inches at most. And they should have been doing it from when they first started playing cricket. Young lad who playes for our 3rd team i captainis 14, but bowls a no ball every couple of overs, had one of the senior bowlers help him at nets and he's fine now. Think its shocking bowling front foot no balls, pointless for the sake or an extra inch or two
 
I was penalised for doing a "Finn" at the weekend. Changed my action over the winter so I bowl closer to the stumps to try and work on my accuracy and line/length. Expect a few more over the coming weeks; but on the plus side; I bowled more maidens in my last game than the entire of the last season.

Things take time to get right; without taking into account any differences in pitches e.g any slight slopes etc.

i thought you bowled spin?
 
If we get there......

So Jennings threw his wicket away by pulling to square leg despite being so watchful before that.

Stoneman was dropped at mid on by Overton (C) on 10. A dolly apparently.

so he trys an attacking stroke he gets out people complain but people complain if they are to defensive
 
@sturayner: More bad news for @DurhamCricket. Scott Borthwick has gone to hospital after damaging right hand (again) very near end of Somerset innings

When will the bad luck with injuries f***ing end? Hopefully he'll bat down the order tomorrow and score a ton against tiring bowlers, setting up a massive lead ;)

No complaints from me, it was merely a statement of fact.
