So after 5 retirements I will go in to my 5th season and a 6th comeback. I have the astonishing record of playing for 5-6 teams but never gotten a league game (played once under a fake name though, was sleeping on the bench and my fellow team players woke me up when we were 7 down stating that it was my turn soon...
Anyway, this year I will play with my best friends as we have made our own team to play fun cricket in the league
If we look away from the fact that I am actually SCARED of the cricket ball then we can say that I am a top order batsman. I will most likely open the innings as I can not slog nor take singles. The only shot I know is the forward defensive shot, hence we are playing 30 over games and we are all youngster beauties, the team is counting on me for just staying there as long as possible.
So I need a new cricket bat for the season. I am not a muscular guy nor a big hitter of the ball. If I manage to take a single it is considered as a jackpot, as I can not take two runs because that will leave me exhausted
Yes, my istamina sucks as well.
Can you beleive it? Being skinny and NOT being able to run. Anyway, back to my main query. I need a new bat for just defending the ball and rotating the strike, what type of bat fit's me the most? A heave one or a light one? I will most likely get the bat from UK in a few months time as I am planning to fill up a suitcase with goodies from JD iSports
Also, how "important" is it to take care of your bat? I mean putting the oil on, knocker, protection, etc? What do I need? The bat I am using ATM have been lying around in the snow for 5 years, but it still works fine
However, I feel that I need to check my attitude and get more serious as I will be one of the seniors this year, and all di buoyz in the team that are larke
will be looking up on me to give them advice
Aur waise bhi, if I am PAYING for the bat myself then I should obviously take good care of it. Price range can vary, being a brown dude I would sure appreciate the cheapest bat, but to be more realistic I would not mind a price around the £100 mark, with £150 being the maximum.
The only way for me to get a new cricket bat is from England OR from ordering through online, but this is not likely as I will most likely have to pay A LOT in customs charge... Travelling to Pakistan ATM is not an option
Now that's a LONG post
Jazak Allah & Fi Imanillah
