PitchVision Academy’s Fast Bowling Coach Ian Pont knows a thing or two about coaching sides to Twenty20 success.

His team - the Dhaka Gladiators - romped to an 8 wicket win over the Barisal Burners to secure the BPLT20 title for 2012 at the National Stadium in Dhaka.

Every club at every level craves a genuinely quick, aggressive fast bowler. They win games.

Some say it’s the luck of the draw: talented young bowlers are born, not made.

No one is born to be a bowler. Every successful fast bowler in history had to learn how to bowl fast and accurately. That means you don’t have to wait for God-given talent to arrive at your club. You can mould the young players you already have into demons.

The team looks at some of the coaching issues surrounding the Indian 2012 tour of Australia. We discuss David Warner’s unusual road to the top and the difference between IPL and Indian national coaching methods.

Plus we answer your questions on the importance of psychology in cricket and what to do if you are a short fast bowler. Themes that are universal but both came from Indian correspondants this week.

Finally, our interview this week is Surajit Lahiri; highly respected club cricketer from Kolkota who has also played and coached in the UK.

With Burners on holiday, David Hinchliffe and Mark Garaway get to discuss what it was like seeing Kevin Pietersen up close during filming at the Oval. You can see the results here.

The team also discuss the Ranji Trophy final and rant about writing people off too early.

Plus we answer your questions on how leg spinners and wicketkeepers can work together and how to look after a young talented fast bowler like Pat Cummins.

Preparation for the bowlers at the start of the innings often relies on stretching and a few practise balls, with the marking of the run-up left to necessity at the last minute.

Something my team started to do was to get the whole bowling attack to mark their run-ups together from both ends.

At club cricket the slower ball is Marmite. 

People either love it or hate because there’s a thin line between bravery and stupidity. Deciding when to use a slower ball is subjective and relative to the situation.

I see most people (and I myself am guilty of this too) bowl a slower ball after they have been hit for a boundary as a comeback ball.

The slow scoring reliable opener, the hard hitting tail ender, the elegant stroke player, the strike bowler...

We all do it.

We label team mates to help determine their role in the side and to assist us in making decisions to best suit the situation.

Left arm swing bowlers have unique advantages and challenges, so we look at the main ones this week. If you bowl left arm or coach left-armers this is the show for you.

• The problems of selecting a new coach (from international to club level)
• What we learned from Des Haynes
• How to stop bowling off cutters as a pace bowler

Plus we talk to Stuart Cope, Cricket Development Officer about cricket in inner cities, playing rep cricket and ambitions for the future. 

There no worse practice than when a set of bowlers practice one element of the game; and the batters try to work on another element entirely. 

Disjointed net sessions are counterproductive because nobody gets what they want: least of all you as the coach.
