Clifton Village Cricket Club

[DeadlyEdits]

i have to step more to the ball and move you front foot for some more power

[Spakaya]

SO RUBBISH

[wanker696cum]

1:38 the guy with the white shirt on the right. 2 FOR FLINCHING !

[jessiboiHD]

3:49 was a nasty swing

[xDDaredevilx]

Old Video

But Second Batsman Looked Impressive

And the Bowler in White Shirt is good.. The one who gets very close to the stumps

[AlexBarton94]

Pipe down going on about no balls! You been pretending you're umpiring or someting!? Gonna complain about the follow through straight down the middle of the wicket or what! haha.

[Lazyplaye]

That leg spinners pretty good

[SHAhzAD9981]

you guys all suck

[moho9795]

ive noticed quite alot of your seamers are bowling no balls

[thorpeman]

@moho9795  Wouldn't worry about it none of those in the video actually bowl. Indoor nets are are as much social as practice, serious nets start when we move outside

[cockywatchman1976]

The leggie bowler could be half decent actually. I always question the value of nets on these surfaces...you play first matches on pitches that are so wet the ball doesn't come on. So this kind of surface isn't ideal for getting used to.

[cockywatchman1976]

Decent batting, horrendous bowling. I mean awful. But that's the norm at club/village level. Very few good bowlers.

[qldbulls7]

I play cricket in australia. i play under 16s its funn

[Malbon01]

Bowlers are falling across the wicket after they bowl. That get's penalized a lot. I used to do it as well but i got out of it with a bit of practice :)

[thorpeman]

@Malbon01 Google Clifton Village Cricket Club & look at the league we played in last year ;-)

[billybent101]

batting was okay, the bowling is so bad

[kotlikalan]

i think they need to work on theer bowling

[AlexGoodwinDrums]

@kotlikalan I think you need to work on your grammar.

[paddygun]

wow this video is a bit old now

[brittanymaywelsh1]

I play u 12 and u 14 and could you give me some tips on playing back to shots?

Thanks

[thorpeman]

I think it is a bit difficult from 10000 miles away but there are lots of milo cricket opportunities at clubs all over Australia look on the cricket australia website and find a club in your area with good coaches and i am sure they will look after you or if anyone else in Australia see's this they may message you. I dont know which state you are in sorry I cant help any more

[Parrock1]

@brittanymaywelsh1 Just make sure your back foot isn't moving out towards square leg, like some of these guys. If anything it needs to go slightly across the crease. That way, if you're cutting, you can keep pushing it across. if you pull, swivel your front foot round and plant the weight on it, keep your head still and don't try to hit it too hard.

[we1are1superman]

Yh i agree :)

[we1are1superman]

The first guy in the black needs to make a movement forward and across his stumps he's falling back all the time

[thorpeman]

He's a keeper/slogger there is only one person in the video that plays first team cricket so you have to give them a bit of slack lol

[thorpeman]

Thanks I have some other nets I ought to edit down to ten minutes but it takes ages to go through it all lol Maybe in the new year.

[baggie00001]

Heavily edited video. So all the crap shots were cut out to make them look better than they really are.

[thorpeman]

no editing at all the only deleting was the waiting to change batsmen and the time between each bowler running up and getting out of the way before the next ball was bowled.

[lravikiran]

batsman with white jersey is playing good

[lravikiran]

genuine tailenders for ya mate!!!!!!!!!

[TheGamescon]

1:38 lol

[braineaterknux]

It's a worse version of Micheal Clark!

[Blisworthboi]

i would very much like to see your french team play :)

[criclegend100]

this guy is gonna break his willow xD!!!!!!!!!

[Blisworthboi]

ahha yeah !

[JFCMP]

kinda remindes me of a right handed Nathan Bracken

[JFCMP]

i like how that guy with the long hair gets bounce

[MrShelly69]

he wouldnt be hitting shots like that against my bowlingggg

[tupacsmum]

1:08 is a good shot

[21Fredster]

might as well be batting against kids, bowling here is F***ing toilet, whats the point in showing an average bunch of batsmen hitting village bowling ?

[Blisworthboi]

becuase there a village team ? were not looking at england or australia here.

[paki007]

3:35 good delivery

[johnstonl01]

who are the bastmen?

[Tom000123]

thropeman i play village cricket, i'm on play cricket to!! i checked you guys out and you seem pretty good, i guessed who your openers are and the larger one (no offence meant i just don't know his name!) looks very decent indeed, check me out on play cricket i'm thomas chester and i play for buckden!!

[thorpeman]

You would struggle to work out who's who on this thing unless you actually know them mate, Its only a pre season warm up before the real net sessions started.

[woodamler]

I Know they don't play a good standard of cricket,

but surely the coaches must do something,ok,the batsmen play good shots but keep it down,that

leg-spinner must learn to flight the ball and dart it in!

[woodamler]

These players look like they need to learn cricket proper;t, the leggie bowls short-crap,and the quickies bowl half-vollies,the batsmans shots are crap!

[thorpeman]

Next time your in the UK come and watch our first team play you will be made most welcome. Have a look at our play cricket website. Before you start to snipe as what team your watching first eh? we cant all be first team players and none of these lads are only a couple even play 2 team cricket now.

[jbcd1211]

it is village cricket........

[Tom000123]

that leg spinner needs to learn the googly.

It's the easiest of all the balls to bowl lol, i could bowl the leg spin before i could bowl normal leg spin, but thats just me, always doing things the wrong way round

[pmodes]

Great lesson in shot making but the bowling.....how many 'no balls'??

[thorpeman]

Village cricket eh?

[BOWDEn12644]

The second batsmen is a class act, straight drives a dream.

[pmodes]

Nice delivery on 3:36 !, but in saying that, the rest of the bowling deserved a good spanking !!!

[filoboy88]

im from a country town in nsw australia and will be playing in a Northants county league this summer with a few other players from around nsw i cant wait as i heard there are a lot of young talented players goung around and this will be a great experience

[thorpeman]

hope you have a good experience. bit cooler here right now i can tell you! No Ashes test at Trent Bridge this summer though :-(

[Hardstylez09]

Shitty spiners kept bowling full tossers

[lcsat93]

good batters but shit bowlers

[thepod86]

Didn't think Clifton netted at Trent Bridge...

[thorpeman]

I dont know the arrangements for this year as I haven't been over to England or caught up with anyone yet this year but we did when I made that dvd. Who are you whats your club mate??

[thepod86]

Played a couple of games for West Bridgfordians, but i'm a Trent uni student so net there every weds

[thorpeman]

Whats your name? You should be playing with Clifton Village were right on your doorstep lol most the Uni lads come down, we will probably play the Uni in a couple of pre season friendly games. If your interested in coming to our nets send me a private message with your phone number and ill pass on the details mate.

[smylelaw]

the legspinner bowls above the perpendicular much lyk cameron white thats hu he reminded me of, alot of full tosses from the spinners tho, good batting aswell from the 1st guy :)

[thatmanaa]

there spiners dont even turn i would love 2 bat agast them batting good

[LukeW199]

the ball doesnt turn tht much indoors thts why

[pmodes]

Awesome delivery on 3:36 !!

[manz1991]

the legspinner is gud but too many full tosses and less turn...wen i go to the academy...i vary it with my 4 special balls : googly..quicker 1 ....carrom ball...2 fingered googly

[Roops1]

rofl @ mans reaction 1:39

[KnockoutMagic]

that bowler with longish black hair looked like a fats leggy greta on everything there

keep it up

[legspinking111]

i wonder how many people can actuallly bat like that in the middle

[thorpeman]

I think you will find that all that lot bat like that outdoors, we dont get too many draws

[englandwc06]

couple of really decent bowlers there. the young legspinner and the young well built fast bowler, really do look quite useful.

[JBrads91]

Not a great selection of bowlers a cliffton cricket club is there lol

[fahidshah]

the second man could not bat but the first batsman could bat

[romanprinciple]

great stuff

[laarchie]

and the 3rd tune, like a country tune

[rvfharrier]

The 3rd song is Waltzing Matilda.

[laarchie]

ok thanks mate

[laarchie]

im from argentina and i bat as well as u do. im 12

[laarchie]

thanks im gonna make an argentnian cricket video with that song

[laarchie]

how is this song called or msuci please tell me

[thorpeman]

If yur asking what the name of the first tune is? It is called Soul Limbo and is recognised as the theme tune for the Cricket Coverage provided by the BBC in England. I think it came out in the 1960's.

[Raffagaffer]

Only joking lads some nice shots here and bowling

[thorpeman]

Actually matey we played you on tour a good while ago now it has to be said but we gave you a right good hammering lol Nice Golf Course you have too we lost a few balls on that I seem to remember :-) You should come and tour Nottingham and have a rematch :-)

[Raffagaffer]

Wat is this crap this is woeful cricket Shifnal Cricket Club of the best league in England Birmingham Premier League would have this team anyway this is woeful shots and bowling learn to play cricket lads ;)

[legspinking111]

the batter in white is good but needs to be a little less bottom handed

[rudythegame]

batter no 1 ......... good stance , lovely straight drive n good - back foot shots ( need to improve more ) - ..overall better ..

[TomWolstey]

the batsmen are ok but the bowlers they are facing arent too good , they would get better if they faced better bowlers the leg spinner needs to hit good areas and then would become a good bowler

[deanowc]

the leg spinner in this aint bad, just needs to find a consistent length then he'd be tricky.

[Fardin200]

cracking shots not bad lol

[eddiethed]

shotage

[Swingkingz]

man the batsmen play amazing straight drives

[BMSRoss]

Do Clifton CC play in the South Bedfordshire league. If you do I play for Bedford CC U14 for next time we get a cup fixture against you. We play in the North Bedfordshire league.

[thorpeman]

No sorry mate we play in Nottingham in the Notts prem league.

[Chewlip]

second batsman is a first class cricketer. what a batsman, the bowlers might not be the best but the technigue and skills are deffo there

[dydge]

your coach is whak!

[iomiusha]

the bowlers r just shit

and hes good

[bigv1878]

gutterd the cricket season is finished ............ roll on winter nets now m8

[trav161]

this guy is very good

[thorpeman]

yes it is

[milsy21]

Why is this bloke such a legend?

[rednech23]

the bowlers suck

[thorpeman]

He's probably about 22 now, no he's never been in any rep sides and he likes to have late nights he's not a wino lol just prefers socialising to cricket.

[thorpeman]

He's actually packed up playing prefered to go out on the booze than play cricket. Think he used a Kookaburra Bubble

[thorpeman]

If your any good mate you should be playing for one of the grade clubs in the XXXX comp try a club of this page qldcricket. com. au I know Toombul at Nunda right next to the railway station they'd make you welcome.

[Xpand09]

ill probly have it on here next weekend...k

[thorpeman]

Nottingham in the UK, where's your club mate? Im over every year around Christmas ill pop along see you play myself :)

[thorpeman]

Do you play? post a vid and lets see your performance mate or better still come over here for a summer and try and get in our first XI :) Who do you play for over there?

[virender77]

If possible do add more of you net practice videos including key important shots-defensive and attacking.

[virender77]

Just bang bang the bowlers and only 16 defensive shots including couple of misses.

[thorpeman]

In fairness, I deleted the defensive shots so it wouldn't bore people to death :)

[michael1608]

I gave up watching after losing count of the number of no-balls. There was no control of this so called practise. It was a complete waste of time. And the first batsmen must have had a fly up his backside as he could not keep still.

[koolaidman92]

remember guys to always think of what ball your gonna bowl before charging in.

[StockportJack]

I agree with the others. That one good bowler with blonde hair bowled well, as soon as any ball had pace the batsman shit themseleves and didnt move their feet though!

[StockportJack]

How is this practice? Any time the bowler bowls a good ball that first batsman just put his feet in the air and slogged it!

[amans1ngh]

i agree with 123jermaine there is a good bowler who has good line and length... the batsman with that hook shot was really good... teach me that sometime lol put some more vids up dude

[nahid079]

very very ordinary bowlers..2nd batsman is better than the 1st one...2nd batsman's basic is kinda alri8

[v2ds]

love this video

seen it like 10 times.

[thorpeman]

Cheers, I must do some more :)

[zedyesiam]

nice compilation. some good shots and decent bowling

[drangboon]

Got some alrite bats- but your club REALLY needs some new bowlers- theyr wank mate :D

[wacha2256]

the legspinners bowling arm goes over the perpendicular at the point of release which is wrong.

[mattet28]

nice lovly batting

[paddygun]

loved the clip it was good coz you got rid of the run ups and you showed lots of shots, it was really put together good, it was quite entertaining with the aggressive shots played

[snazzyali]

to be honest..batsman in the dark blue was the best

[thorpeman]

Glad you enjoyed it, I have more to upload after Christmas when I get back from following England lol

[amans1ngh]

that was cool, slow bowlers too, warwickshire nets?

[thorpeman]

Hi, no it was at Trent Bridge in the Sobers Hall. Glad you liked it! :)
