I appreciate not many people will care but

I started playing cricket about 18 months ago, I'd never played before then, I was never allowed to at school, as I've only got one eye that works I was always passed over when it came to ball sports as I couldn't see the ball!!

Here is a video progression of the speeds I started at in June last year.

52 MPH

72 MPH 2 weeks ago

Then Today at 85 MPH

Here is a selection of front foot work at 85 mph we did over 35 minutes compressed into a short video.

Notice the last delivery in this video has a go at my thumb!! That smarted!!

Like I've said above some people wont care at all, I just thought I'd share and it's what I do when I'm not getting pissed off with my Nova!!!

Careful, mate. The vast majority of the natives don't like sports! :/ #fatkidspickedlastmuch

I used to.enjoy cricket at school, too. I am more likely to shout "Fcuking break into my car?!" whilst weilding a bat, these days, than "LBW", though. lol

Nice progression. Glad you are enjoying it.
