Email from my cricket club this morning saying practice tonight was cancelled. Bit soft but who I am to argue ?

Pleasant 25 or so by now...


Wow, never been to nets at night.I wish that was an option here.Could attend it regularly after work.


What time do you usually net Sport?


Our nets start daily at 6:30 A.M .and ends anytime between 8 A.M - 8:30 A.M mostly.Most of the clubcricketers are college students, but those who work leave early or come only on weekends.

As far as the evening nets are concerned, they are only for the U-14 boys who opt to take specialized coaching as they are looking to break in Mumbai U-14 etc.One of them got into Mumbai U 14 probable in 2013 but did not get selected in the shortlisted team.But those few U14 guys practice for about 2 hours in evening apart from attending the morning nets.

So the net timing varies as per every individual although it starts at 6:30 A.M and winds up between 8 A.M - 8:30 A.M.Back to the thread , the winter season is not good for fielding.But it is good for the bowlers as we see a reduced score during the winter as the openers take time and show more patience with strokeplay.we compromise on run rate to preserve specialist batters wickets.


Interesting different system Adi. I am glad I am not playing in Mumbai then , as I would be total rubbish at 6.30 am ! Just not a morning person :)


I also would have preferred the evening session.But unlike other clubs ,ours did not have evening sessions.

Some mod can move these posts to my blog else this thread :thumb
