Changing the attitudes, habits and culture of cricketers (or anyone in fact) is a challenge. Can it be done? Sam Lavery, David Hinchliffe and Mark Garaway discuss the topic and give a few tips in this complex and tricky area.

Don't Listen to Andy Roberts

Filed in:

Andy Roberts was a great fast bowler, but his opinion on training bowlers is harmful. Don't listen to him.

In a Cricinfo interview, Roberts spoke about how important it is for fast bowlers to be fit. Wise words. After that it all went downhill fast,

"You need to do a lot of running, because that's what you do on a cricket field - running."

Actually, you don't.

Four Simple Ways to Take Fielding to the Next Level

Filed in:

PitchVision Coach of the Year Award: At the Heart of World-Class Cricket

Filed in:

PitchVision and Cricket South Africa have teamed up to find the best coaches in the country, and give them the recognition they deserve.

Quick Tip: Take Control of Practice

Filed in:

If you want your practice to go your way, you have to take responsibility.

One thing I often see at nets is the default having a hit: One person batting for 10 minutes with no purpose, and a range of bowlers. A good coach will do all she can to prevent this from happening but in a group setting it doesn't always work as planned.

So, you need to take a moment before, during and after the session.
