It's scary how good professional crickets are. I went to University with Tom Abell, my final year was the 2013/14 season when he was in the Somerset 2nd XI, the year before he became a 1st XI regular. I was a good bowler, we were one of the best Uni teams in the country and I opened, generally sat in the low 80s and my average over the season was around 18, so I was not half bad. In a year of bowling at him in the nets, when he was batting properly and not having a session where he was trying all kinds of ridiculous attacking shots, I got him out once. We'd watch him practicing against a 90mph bowling machine like it was nothing, and against our bowling unit that was overall probably the strongest of any University that season he made it look almost insultingly easy!
Yep, the difference between good amateurs and pros in most sports is a huge gulf that you don't really appreciate until you see it for yourself. Playing cricket at a pretty average but decent level, we'd sometimes get young players on the verge of turning pro or quality overseas players against us. They'd smash all round the ground for fun. Same with running. I'm a pretty good runner. But I can do kipchoge's marathon pace for 800m, maybe a 1km on a very good day. 2-3 mins. He's doing it for 2 hours. I'd love to see an average person compete in every Olympic event. It'd really highlight how good they are!
Just need to ask the Surrey officials for a ball - I'm sure they have a few of the appropriate age. I also hear that mints are all the vogue for cheating.
Had great fun. Thanks mate! 🙏
Absolute legend!!
Dan, you’re a much better bowler than I expected.
ha thanks mate 😍
Yeah, there were some decent nuts in there

You get up the aussies but how many times have other nations cheated and not been caught
Just need to ask the Surrey officials for a ball - I'm sure they have a few of the appropriate age. I also hear that mints are all the vogue for cheating.
