Technique is ever popular, and so when Ed Smith wrote about batting technique this week the team of Mark Garaway, David Hinchliffe and Sam Lavery pounced on his words and discussed what it means to achieve technical perfection as an imperfect human.

The "tekkers" theme continues throughout the show too. Listener Daire has got back to us with some questions about his action and gave us some video footage. We discuss the 4 Tent Pegs principle. Thanks to the power of the show notes we have also got some stills to illustrate the points made in the show below.

Let us know what you think too.

Finally, we discover the best technique for reverse swing, and it's not what you might think! Download the show to find out what it is.

Quick Tip: Mental Toughness or Mental Peace?

Filed in:

Rohit Sharma, on returning from injury, said "my mental peace is my biggest strength". Interesting choice of a verb, that.

Why didn't the Indian international go for "toughness"? Most players would.

We can only speculate. Yet, it seems to me that Rohit has a good handle on his mental make-up. He keeps his head while others lose theirs. He is not the berserker in battle like Dale Steyn. His mind is ice.

Improve Slip Catching with This Lesson from Old England

Ex-England coach Duncan Fletcher loves slip catching practice. He comes alive as he edges the ball to the slip cordon and encourages the players to strive for more consistency, more commitment and ultimately, more brilliance.

But it was not always the case. Fletch inherited a slip cordon in 2000 that was less than brilliant. He told me that many of the players were happy to let the ball bounce just infront of them instead of diving forward and attempting the catch.

He used to call poor commitment to this kind of ball "Old England" .
