Pat Legge is our guest coach this week as we talk about leg spin, scoring hundreds and taking wickets. Plus Gary Palmer gives us another batting tip and David is excited by the start of the summer.

If I had to pick one type of bowler I love most it's the leg spinner.

As a keeper there is no greater pleasure than watching a good leg spinner bamboozle someone from behind the stumps. Plus the challenge of picking the variations is great fun.

But leg spin is not always encouraged as it should be.

Wickets are less spin friendly, coaches don't know how to teach the technique and captain's are unsympathetic to even good leggies.

Picture the scene: A gloriously sunny day with a warm breeze rustling through the trees; Perfect cricket weather.

Walking out to the middle to examine the playing area, the bowlers take one look at the pitch and hang their heads while the batsmen rub their hands in glee. It's a bowler's graveyard: Hard and flat with short boundaries and a fast outfield.

It used to be said that if Yorkshire (and England) needed a fast bowler they just whistled down the nearest mine.

These men seemed carved from granite. They bowled a thousand overs a season on nothing but a warm beer and a bag of chips at the close of play. They only ever got injured if they broke their knuckles on someone's jaw.

So you think you know your cricket tactics inside out?

There is only one way to find out for sure; test yourself.

That's why a while back I created a quick and dirty "Tactical Awareness Test" for PitchVision Academy users to find out how good they really are.

Murray Creed is this week's guest coach answering your questions on a range of cricket coaching subjects.

If you are not working on strength and conditioning with the players you coach you are missing a chance to improve their cricket.

Yet it's common to not bother. At club, representative and school level coaches avoid the world of fitness. They stick to what they know; skills work with a few high intensity fielding drills thrown in to gas everyone.

That's simply not enough. Not if you want results as a coach.
