RE: Watching a little Cricket/Softball practice
Next step is getting in there with them! 😁
Although it doesn’t look like they are bowling from 22 yards so if you do have a bat make them move the stumps back a bit so you’ve got more chance of surviving 😂
Top tip on the lingo, in cricket we say “net” instead of practice. You can use it as a noun i.e. that was a good net or a verb i.e. I need to net more
Very interesting! Thanks for the reply! In countries where it is more popular is it common for females to play? I just thought was cool to see a girl netting"?" in what I assume is probably a male dominated sport. I'd be holding the bat over my shoulder like you do in baseball! I'd look pretty silly I think!
Yes women’s cricket is on the rise and the standards are also increasing year on year as more and more players turn professional.
I wouldn’t recommend holding your bat behind your head but cricket has borrowed a lot from baseball in recent years because the shorter formats of the game call for more power hitting
