The team pack in a 4 person round table as Burners is back live, joining David Hinchliffe, Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery to talk cricket coaching and playing.

Due to technical issues, the show is slightly shorter this week, but you can still hear Garas, Lavers and Burners in crystal clear stereo as they discuss how to coach "mystery spin".

David Hinchliffe, Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery get together to discuss field settings. How much is instinct, and how much is planning? Then the team delve into the question of how we measure cricket thinking, and how that links back to whether you should have a mid off or an extra slip.

Plus in the mailbag reader's questions are answered on how to throw further, and the coaching language used when batting against a bowling machine.

And, don't miss Gara's soapbox, it's a cracker!

The language of cricket has developed over the last few years, and borrows far more from areas like business management. Is this a good thing?

Mark Garaway, Sam Lavery and David Hinchliffe discuss the topic.Plus, we look at the role of bat weight in timing and strokeplay, and help a fast bowler and Ian Pont fan with his braced front leg. Can we help him to ramp up the pace and bowl faster? Listen to the show to find out.

And, Gary Palmer jumps on board to tell us how to safely introduce the techniques of playing the short ball.

Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery join David Hinchliffe to chat about the missing two thirds of batting development, and how you can work on your picking line and length and shot selection alongside developing perfect technique.

Plus, we focus on spin in the readers questions. We talk about a spinner who is not allowed to bowl spin and a coach who wants to help his spinners get more turn.

Burners is on the road and speaks to Mark Thorburn, Analyst at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, about how he works with the bowlers to attack the most important areas.

Cricket coaching has been in the mainstream media this week with articles on fitness attitudes from journalists and a concerned parent. So Mark Garaway and David Hinchliffe mull things over from the coaches perspective.

We also help listeners with their cricket issues, including a leggie who has lost his modjo and a fast bowler who bowler off the wrong foot. Plus, Burners logs his roving report and we catch up with former-England wicketkeeper (and current cricket badger) Paul Nixon.

Gone are the days when a batting average of 40 marks you out as a good player. With so many stats at our fingertips, the teams try and break through the sea of data to come up with a new standard for batting and bowling statistics that doesn't need a maths degree to understand.

Specifically David Hinchliffe chats to Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery about: Strike Rate, Runs per Scoring Shot, Scoring Ball Percentage, Scoring Areas (where runs are scored and conceded and at what times), and Quality of Contact (how often a bowler beat the bat).

Are these elements that you can start counting, tracking analysing and reporting? Listen to the show to work out if they beat the old average adage.

Plus we look at bowling speed with questions on moving up to 140kph and what pace a spinner should bowl.

How do you go about setting a target batting first? That's the topic under discussion as we examine the failures of the ODI series between India and New Zealand. Don't make the same mistakes in your club side, listen to the show for advice from David Hinchliffe, Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery.

Plus, in the mailbag, there are questions about game plans for playing spin and the differences between formats and how that influences your style and tempo of play. But as usual the conversation wanders into much wider areas, including a single question - related to Doctor Who - that will turn negative experiences into positive changes.

And Garas gives us another great term: pressure mountains. Listen to the show to find out more.

It's all about the death overs! Mark Garaway joins David Hinchliffe to talk through bowling yorkers under pressure and being a finisher in the mould of Michael Bevan.

And speaking of great work from Australians, we also examine the resurgence of Mitchell Johnson. How exactly did he turn things around? At more grass-roots level, we help a young player with workload and injury problems.
