Kurt asks,

"I currently have a problem with my front foot when the ball is on middle and leg. It seems to always get in way, kind of like the same problem Shane Watson has at the moment. Can you please advise some things I can do to correct this?"

Filed in:

One of the best tools a cricket coach can use is the ability to say nothing at all.

I can hear the nay-sayers already baulking. How can you possibly improve players if you stands at the back of the net in stony silence throughout a session? Of course, you can't and shouldn't do that. But you also need to work hard at knowing what to say, when to say it, how you say it, and - most importantly - if you need to say it at all.
