9 days to go

It’s been a while since I last posted. And not long till I go!!!!

I’ve been doing a lot of skipping lately. forearms are getting noticeably stronger and I’m feeling so much better after a workout.

I really wish someone would help me out with the skills side of things. Batting feels alright, but it’s the bowling I’m worried about. 

From now until I go I’ll be doing mostly aerobic work and skills. I’ve got plenty of videos that’ll get my pumped for cricket now. 

P.S get a freaking haircut!

23 days to go

did a set of squats, pushups and crunch’s last night which definitely made me feel better in the morning, still a bit tight though.

Went to the pool with Ulrich today. Did a quick 15 laps alternating between breathstroke and freestyle. Was alot harder than I remember meaning I got alot of work to do, towards the end it was feeling good though. I needed this, it loosened up my muscles and got them all going, also felt my respiratory rate being tested as well which is handy. Finished it all off with a few cold showers between and after stints in the sauna and steam room.

going to be doing more of this!

25 days to go

Did core synergistics from the P90X video yesterday, REALLY GOOD! Exactly what I need for this. Going to do it a few more times for sure.

Had a net session with corey today. I made sure we did a proper warm up (involving a medicine ball as well), then I bowled first. It actually went well, I took it easy focused on spinning the ball and hitting specific areas depending on how he was playing. I was happy with it considering it’s been so long sinced I’ve bowled.

Batting was okay. I actually played alot of really good shots, middled plenty and played to different parts of the ground. However I feel I could work alot on discipline, balance and shot selection. I noticed I was falling over during a few strokes and my pull shots weren’t coming out as much as they usually would.

Good day though, I needed it.

27 days to go

I had my tumour out the other day so I’m still recovering :/ 

not long to go now, really have to up the tempo of this training and get uber disciplined. as of next week I’m hitting the pool each day without fail. The reason I say the pool is because I just got my itinerary for the weekend and it includes swimming so I’m gonna have to be prepared.

Tomorrow I’m hitting the P90X ab ripper and Yoga. Sunday I’m have a net session, getting into some bowling, afterall that’s my “specialty”.

31 Days to go

Today’s progress:

Had a fielding session with adam, nothing major because of the weather, just some basic target practice. at one point was throwing at 60% which wasn’t bad considering how long it’s been.

Skipping and minor weights. This is going to have to play a big part over the next few weeks, lot’s of skipping, everyday.

feeling good.

hoping to get a net session in on the weekend.

I have less than one month

It’s going to be an extremely disciplined and hard month. It needs to be if I want to give myself any chance. 

Tomorrow I’m playing footy, I’m going to use it as a training session almost. It’ll be hard as I haven’t trained specifically for it but it should go well.
