65. Pick your fielders. When building a partnership both batsmen should try and discover which fielders are the good fielders (fast, clean, good throwers) and which of the others may be exploited for extra runs.

Power plays are a terrible invention.

They make IPL games more fun to watch when Tendulkar and Jayasuriya are flailing it to all parts.

But the whole idea seems so contrived and, well... restricted (at least to a declaration loving traditionalist like me).

Nevertheless, as my own (50 over) league has brought in a fielding circle this season and it's a staple of Twenty20 cricket at every level, it's time to look how the pros do it.

It's official; Kevin's team missed out on the finals this season so we catch up with how he felt the season went. Find out why it's not all bad news.

Plus, Gary Palmer returns to give us more insight into the technical side of batting. ECB psychologist Wil James also joins us for the third part of his in-depth interview on the mental side of the game.

Every good coach will tell their players to stand ready with their feet a comfortable distance apart. While this is usually about shoulder width, some players will stand differently.

64. Don’t go the tonk too soon at the end. When batting first in a limited overs match and trying to score quick boundaries at the end of the innings you must first ensure that your team bats for all the available overs and is not prematurely bowled out. Try and hit boundaries in the least protected areas of the field and let the ball determine the shot. However, still assume you are going to lose a wicket every over when slogging at the end. This means you should never start going the tonk unless you have one wicket in hand per over left.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about swearing at batsmen and arguing with the umpire. But respect is too often fear in disguise.

63. Learn to cut. The cut is a classical and rewarding shot that all batsmen should be adept at. The cut is a great value shot because most good bowlers focus on the off-side so balls ripe for cutting can be expected more often than, say, half-volleys on leg-stump. The cut, if played to the right ball, can be well controlled, is not too risky to execute (make sure your bat is light enough), uses the pace of the bowler (so doesn’t have to be hit too powerfully) and is quite place-able.

Coaching has never been more important, or more competitive.
