DSK WOMENS TRAINING: WEEK 3 13/11/23

-

 

This week we played a match between ourselves, my team was batting first I defiantly was not trying to recreate Glenn Maxwell's innings against Afghanistan 👀  everything went ok, then when it was our turn to field. I got to bowl first and I think I did pretty good. My fielding wasn't very good though as I kept dropping the ball, so I defiantly need to keep practicing. 


 

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Neil Walsh, a well known figure in Dsk, and one of the coaches for the women's team training, 

Question 1: What do you think of the women's team?

"I think the women's teams great, there coming along fantastic, there doing a really good job at coming. There is plenty of commitment, we have had double figures every week so as long as they keep an interest in it. I am delighted to be taking it, even tonight there is a couple of girls that are taking about doing advanced coaching and all, to coach some of the younger ones coming thought in the summer so that really good to hear. So iam absolutely delighted."

Question 2: Do enjoy cricket?

 "I love Cricket, but I love to see the enjoyment from others as well, especially with our youth, women's and senior men's who are doing very well at the moment, so I have a great passion for the game"   

Question 3: How far do you think cricket in Drumaness can go in the Future?

"Well that's really up too the interest, if are youth keeps coming through and there a desire too keep preforming at that, and our women as well, hoping too put in at least a couple of women's teams over the next few years an then are younger girls an ladies coming through that age group as well. That's the aim to get the ladies, men's and the youth all sort of synced into one club."

Question 4: Would you recommend it someone who has never played before?

      "I would because Cricket, there's this sort of stigma about cricket that you know its a boring game, that everybody runs around in whites and stuff like that as you can see, we have got coloured clothing, our game is very active  in terms of fielding, bowling and batting, its high energy stuff you and it keeps you fit, so absolutely."

  Would you believe me if I said this world cup was ten years ago on the 13th of July, well you probably wouldn't. In this blog were going to take a look at the matches that built up to Germanys 1-0 win over Argentina, Thanks to Mario Götze of course. GERMANY If  you ask me, Germany's 2014 world cup squad was one of the most dynamic and raw-talented teams we have seen in a good while, for one reason they had a team. That might not make sense but if you look at other teams, who have one or two good players you will see that they struggle, but when you look at Germany it had an entire roster of top tier players most of whom played together at club level.  Germanys squad for the world cup included: Manuel Neuer  Kevin Großkretz  Matthias Ginter  Benedikt Höwedes  Mats Hummels  Sami Kedira  Bastain Schweinsteiger  Mesut Özil  Andre Schürrle  Lucas Podolski  Miroslav Klose  Ron-Robert Zieler  Thomas Muller  Julia...

  Today is the first instalment of cricket history and iam going to cover quite a infamous event, Sandpapergate.  For those of you that don't know Sandpapergate was a ball tampering incident that involved Cameron Bancroft, Captain Steve Smith and David Warner. During a test match against South Africa in March of 2018, Cameron Bancroft was caught rubbing the match ball with a small yellow object. He was then seen stuffing said object into his trousers, when approached by the umpire he pulled out a dark microfiber sunglass pouch from his pocket. The umpires inspected the ball and concluded that it had not been noticeably tampered with. At the press conference at the end of the days play Bancroft, accompanied by Captain Steve Smith admitted that he was caught attempting to alter the condition of the ball using a short length of adhesive tape to which dirt and grit has adhered, forming and abrasive surface.  Five days later, after an investigation by Cricket Australia, Bancro...

 Australia beat Pakistan by 62 runs yesterday, which earns them there second win in the world cup which happens to move them up into fourth behind South Africa and ahead of New Zealand. The Aussies have started the world cup campaign by losing to India by 6 wickets and South Africa 134 runs. They redeemed themselves by beating Sri Lanka by 5 wickets and Pakistan by 62 runs. This is what Australia's captain, Pat Cummins had to say:  "That was great. Pretty tough playing here but good to get a win. Proper from the openers, it set the tone and we want to take the game on like that. The key in ODIs [one day internationals] is to carry on. You get on breakthrough and it looks tough for the next guy. Batting for long like our openers did, was great. Zampa has been awesome. Showed his class, he's a wicket taker . Babar and Iftikhar were big wickets. Were coming of two wins and have a three or four- day break before the next game. Can take a couple of days off, then get to work. ...
