I was really sure about what to name this topic or where to put it but oh well, here goes
this weekend is gonna be pretty big for me, tomoro in A grade cricket we are bowling and im expecting to bowl 15 or more overs in the day, then on sunday i have to go to hamilton to play another match to try and get into the representative team from western victoria
i need some help, because before i bowl, on the weekends and at training i always stretch up, and that does me good because im a fast bowler, but after ive bowled, especially the next day im always really sore in my shoulders and lower back. now normally, i accept this, with trainings on tuesday and thurday and games on saturday, the days break makes my muscles heal and well enough for the next trundle, but this weekend im going to have to be fit to bowl straight away, so i dont get a few days rest
i was just wondering if anyone has any good ways i can not get the soreness on sunday so i can bowl to my full potential? maybe stretching down could be a good start, or possibly things like a warm shower to keep the muscles warm or using deep heat.
i guess i just want to know, what post-game warm downs or rituals do you guys do after sport to make sure you dont get sore the next day?
