Cricket Dude Guy, are you good at this or looking for answers as to how to go about it? Personally as a number 11 I'm pretty useless at it, especially finger spinners that bowl decent off-breaks and vary the speed. A bloke at our club got me 6 times consecutively in the nets a couple of years ago.

Done it mate, like your background to your channel! Have you got loads of mates you play cricket with? If you have you should get them all on your forum, I reckon that's the best way to get traffic going through your forum and that way you'll get more members joining up.

I take it you're in Australia (Hopefully not asked that before), I like the sounds of that format, how many overs are played each day?

In your district, does it ever mean you stay away over-night because of the size of Australia to play away games, or do you generally travel there and back in a day? I know here players get the ache if they have to travel much more than about 20 miles, but I understand that sometime in Australia you might have to travel in excess of 100 miles to get to an away match?

So, Jacob, how do you play spinners? I'm useless at Batting (No.10 or 11). I'm generally okay to fast bowlers unless it's my son and I can usually out-survive the bloke at the other end and I end up getting loads of not-outs during a season. But if I have to face Off-spinners I'm usually in trouble - what would you advise me to do?

- get to the pitch of the all

So how you do play RH Leg Spinners in that case - do you still go out to the pitch of the ball - what do you do skip down the wicket or stretch out and block?
