  • I think those speed guns are a load of crap. Somehow the white ball goes faster - I bowled 83-84mph in the Test match, and 93mph in the one-dayers. It's crazy. I hadn't bowled a ball for ten days.

    Broad shooters

    By Will last year, at the start of November, 4 Comments »

    I had a very enjoyable day clay pigeon shooting with Chris Broad and his son Stuart. There were only a few of us there - a media day for Volkswagen - and both of them were on great form. Naturally, although Stuart had never shot before, he beat the rest of us - including Ian Valentine, who writes here, whose full-time job is for the Shooting Times. Photos below (you need Flash installed). A piece will be up at Cricinfo tomorrow or the day after.

    I can see me enjoying shooting. It was tricky at first, and I never really got the hang of the “rabbits”. But the faster clays high up in the sky were pretty easy once you “followed through”. And yes, there were loads of cricketing clichés flying about all over the place. West London Shooting School - highly recommend it.
