It was a disaster!

I’m not a techie, so is was a disaster when I managed to lock myself out of the blog - I don’t know how I did it or what happened, but for the past few months I haven’t been able to get in and I’ve been to busy to have the time to sort it out.

But thankfully I’m now back in - I had to remove everything and completely reinstalled the databases, fortunately I had backed everything up. At one stage last night I thought I’d killed the blog, everything I’d tried didn’t work, but a few hours this morning and it’s up and running.

I’ve had to revert back to my old theme though. But seeing as Christmas is only a few months away now (scary I know) I figured it’d be ok…What do you think?

Any I’m glad to back up and running, I hope to get back posting regularly.

I hope you are well,

Ian

The Wisden Cricket Almanac 2007is out now! If you’ve never read the Wisden Almanac then I highly recommend you do so, it’s crammed pack of great articles, stats and English humour.

Here’s what one Amazon reviewer had to say about The Wisden Cricket Almanac 2007…

“there’s no finer book about cricket. great writing by the finest journalists, athers on warne, parkie on truman plus brilliant, brilliant insights from engel, barnes et al. the sort of book you’d have to pack as your desert island choice. plenty of stats, much humour, quintessentially english - wisden is the purest distillation of cricket. a work of genius.”

eBay Cricket Bats??

Some tips if you do decide to buy a bat from eBay:

-View the sellers profile and look at their feedback rating to
see how other people have felt about their transactions.

-Contact the seller before you place a bid to see how they deal
with customers and ask any questions you have before you commit
yourself.

-Look to see if the seller offers a guarantee or return policy
and find out what it is and the procedures involved.

-Don’t get drawn into a bidding war with other eBayers, set a
maximum budget and stick to it, there are new listings everyday
so don’t worry if you miss out on one occasion…

Fielding is one of the most important parts of cricket, a match can be won or lost in the field. This is a quality cricket fielding video and I’m sure you’ll learn some useful tips from watching it.

As Mark Waugh says if you want to be a good fielder you’ll need,

“lots of hard work, practice and dedication.”

The video is a few years old but the principles are still the same, it doesn’t cover a few ‘newer’ techniques though.

Hello,

I know some of you love your cricket games as much as you love real cricket (I personally prefer the real thing). I had the original version of Brian Lara Cricket way back, but I hear the new 2007 version is a poor world cup cash in job, if you read the reviews on amazon you’ll see what I mean!

I found this trailer of Cricket 2007 it looks pretty cool and it has had good reviews so might be worth checking…

This video looks at the cricket equipment that you should really have if you are serious about your cricket. It also looks at how to choose cricket equipment, why you need it and how it will protect you.

If you can’t afford everything don’t worry, most clubs will provide you with basic cricket equipment at junior level, when you get into senior cricket though you’ll be expected to have your own cricket gear.
