Karl Q After 3 for 20 in league 'warm-up' the previous week, took the matchball with 8-1-18-5. Hoping that's not the end and highlight of the season though!

Karl Q answered the question Why do so little people know about indoor cricket?!

Indoors is great if like me you don't like an 'off-season' and want to play as much as you can all year round. It's getting bigger and bigger during the autumn and winter here in the UK

Ali S answered the question What is the best way to improve your throwing arm?

Have a wide stance, with your throwing hand higher than your shoulder. Bring the throwing arm through in a slightly downward motion. Practice arm conditioning with resistance bands and start plyometric push ups.

Hold the ball seam-up with the seam pointing slightly to leg. Ball should drift in slightly.

don't train in the nets indoors in the first place. Move them to the back wall, set up a strip in the middle and play a game of indoor cricket instead; even if it is just between 5 or 6 of you. Adds a bit of intensit...
