getting back into cricket

[itchybeard]

started training on Sundays evenings with a local cricket team and its great. My arm was aching after a short while from bowling. Its been 19years since I played for a team (not been picked yet)! though its good gentleman fun.
Not doing overtime on Sundays now, gonna be ejoying the good things.

@itchybeard good luck with the comeback! My son was in nets again this morning. His confidence had taken a knock having been hit right on the elbow by a very bad ball.

Got any tips on knocking in a new bat?
