Many Thanks for looking check out the commentary page and listen to your team in action ...

Now there was me thinking that maybe one of the youngsters may just get a chance to show what they can do when I read "Stuart Law believes Lancashire are more than capable of coping with the loss of batsman Brad Hodge, he's given an opportunity for someone to take that position."

Incomes short term replacement Pakistan Batsman Mohammad Yousuf, "We were quite happy to go without a replacement for Brad if there wasn't somebody of the calibre of this guy". That's all well and good bringing in a 34 year old for five weeks or so, just wondering how the youngster feel about their long term prospects of 1st XI cricket at Old Trafford?

Bowling Coach Creates ''The World's Best Slower Ball''

It's taken hard work and much trying. But international fast bowling coach, Ian Pont, believes he has created the world's best slower ball that will deceive the finest batsmen on the planet. It comes just in time for the IPL Twenty20 tournament as it can be learned in one afternoon by anyone.

The innocuous-looking delivery, known affectionately as the SLOB, is designed to look like a beamer but end up dropping like a stone into the block hole. It was created last summer but tests at the International Pro Camp in Potcheftroom, South Africa where Pont is head coach have shown how effective it can be. The slower ball is now ready to be taught to others.

''It's quite an amazing delivery if you get it right'', said Pont, a former fast bowler himself. ''It's almost impossible to pick up by the batsman and in the load up to bowl it looks like any normal delivery, which makes it so hard to pick. That's what I wanted - something difficult to spot and extremely effective''.

The name SLOB comes from slow ball, and the fact that like a slob, the ball does nothing. ''There's hardly any rotation on the ball so it ends up 'dying' in the last 2-3 yards of flight and straight into a yorker length hopefully''.

Pont, who has worked with world number one Dale Steyn, England legend Darren Gough and many up-and-coming young quicks, says anyone can master it. ''Success rates are high for everyone who tries it but like all slower balls it takes some getting used to. I cannot see many batsmen hitting this if the bowler gets it right making it a perfect weapon at any level''.

Pont added. ''It's something no bowler should be without''.

You know how it is first thing on a wet weekend, not quite awake, no real plans on what to do, or where to go, I decide to have a look see and have a wonder round the new LCCC site ahead of the 2008 season. Armed with a cig and a brew, a pain in the neck & back thanks to a recent bump, off I went for a click see. 

Nice one, I thought it’ll take a while to get round this and see what’s on and who's new, maybe I’ll even catch the action on LancsTV. A click here, then a click there, change that screen resolution to get rid of the horizontal scroll bar, click again, change the resolution once again to make sure it’s gone, just in case I miss something, no really I did…

I’ll put it down to that pain in the neck but those flash adverts, trying to sell me this or that on every page got right on my, well you know what I mean.  Just in case you’re interested I ended up at 1151 x 864 res. I wanted a little bit of history, a look see at what’s on next week, a click see at the reports and maybe chill and watch the TV.

Talk about rubbing salt in the wound Glamorgan boss happy with Ashes coup. Pain in the neck for me right now, head done in with the adverts I’ll be back .....
