Cricket Show 204: Competition Winner

Filed in:

This week's winner of the Cricket Show podcast question competition is Stephen. He wins a free coaching course from PitchVision Academy.

The winning question was:

"I have just spoken to our senior opening bowling about becoming the leader of the bowling group both on and off the pitch. I think this should involve leading the group in warm ups before the game, discussing ends to take especially at away games and how to bowl on the surface that is there on the day. Maybe even organising gym sessions together. We don't have coaches available on match days as they are usually playing for the 2nd or 3rd XIs. Do you have any advice as to what to expect from this approach"

What can we learn from the Delhi Daredevil?

On the surface, it appears arrogant to reverse sweep in a Test. Coaches will tell you that cricket is supposed to be played with a straight bat. Youngsters playing it in nets are told to play "properly".
