Coaching

Dan,

You are also not omniscient - I was giving bowling advice to several players throughout the evening (particularly Stu's lad, as he'll confirm), and both Nelly and I were talking to batsmen. I did speak to several batsmen as well, maybe I just did it quietly and without the need for any obvious fuss ... we also have been helping Jebby's lad, to the extent that he now finds himself in the 1sts for Sunday, and will hopefully get to turn his arm over there.

Nets can be enormously frustrating - I can't say I found it particularly helpful to be retriving 60% of deliveries from the side netting either, but it does require a commitment that not everyone can always provide, particularly those with later working hours, other commitments, families etc.
