Preparation

Whilst we are on preparation, it is important to note that you must also be prepared to play whatever shot your skip tells you to. You can, of course, discuss the shot if you are unsure but, ultimately, you must play the shot the skip has told you to play and show no signs of discontent before you play it, because if you do so then this will only create a bad atmosphere. Even if the shot is not something you think you should be playing, there may be a very good reason why he/she wants you to play it. I hear many of you now saying: ‘Yes, because the skip wants to keep the good hand for his/herself.’ Usually, this isn’t the case, but if your skip is keeping the best hand free for him/herself, I would suggest you politely address this.

Thus, the stereotype that the ‘new’ bowler should play at number two is clearly one I do not advocate. I would suggest a new bowler plays lead; if he/she has a problem casting the jack then practice is required. Once a new player gets used to drawing close time after time, he/she can explore playing in other positions if desirous of a change, and the number two option may be a possibility, but such a player should have practised a whole range of other shots during roll-ups.
