Alt: I'm fucking aching today. Cricket all day Saturday and Sunday. Wicket-keeping certainly fucks with your thighs, hamstrings, bum-cheeks etc. Strikethrough ahoy.

Just slightly bent knees, back straight. You'll feel tension in all those rear end and thigh muscles. Stand until the muscles shake, then stop. Rest properly. In a week or two your muscle stamina will improve and you'll find your wicket keeping improves

That's pretty much what you do when your keeping wicket - but for hours and hours on end. It's the first time this season I've played Saturday and Sunday which probably accounts for the extra discomfort. It shouldn't bother me at all after another couple of games.

The season finishes in September and then there's nothing until winter training in about March.

I do it while ironing, just drop the board height a couple of notches. Means I can concentrate on upper body work at the gym, as that seems to be enough to keep leg muscles in check when combined with working most days on my feet.

Can you send me photos? Preferably shot from the ground looking up? And if you could be naked that would be great too.
