It takes, according to Bob Woolmer, 10,000 goes at something before you master it.
That's a lot of practice.
For me this underlines how important practice is for club cricket. As amateur players we are all limited for how much time we can give, but performance on the field is directly related to how much skills training you do. How motivated are you to improve?
As long as it is good quality skills training.
So if you are going to do anything this coming season, make sure it involves knocking a few more off that 10,000 target with an extra practice a week.
