Third teammate this season pulling up mid-spell. We all sit at desks 9 hours and then try to bowl 130 clicks on Sunday. What's everyone's actual pre-match routine — not the one we pretend to do?

Nordic curls twice a week changed everything for me. Started at 3 reps holding the sofa, now 3×8. Zero hamstring issues in two seasons after two pulls the season before.

Honestly? Arriving 45 minutes early instead of 10. Full run-through from half run-up before the first real over. Boring answer, works every time.

Warm-up crew from Sunday. Forty-five minutes early, all of us still walking on Monday.
