Bur right now they are 11 years old and have only played 20 overs. This season they have had to jump up to playing 40 over games as well.

The Doosra is a ball with a longer tradition than you may think.

Transform Traditional Nets into High-Intensity Training Environments

Can you remember your first ever net session?

It's quite likely that your first ever net was pretty similar to the net you had last week.
