"Spin it hard!"

The pupils at Millfield are lucky as we have fantastic guest coaches pop in.

One of the hardest problems to solve as a bowler is if your length is inconsistent. To many four balls results in a lot of head scratching at nets.

It's October so the winter is closing in around the UK. This causes a couple of challenges for the coaches and players at Millfield School.

Are you an unlucky bowler?

Nobody can ride two horses at once.

That’s an old cowboy saying, and it’s equally true when it comes to your cricket. It means to get good at something, you need to focus on that one thing.

Every bowler, whether they admit it or not, knows how many wickets they have taken.

At training it’s easy to “just bowl” for long periods. This is useful for batsmen, but not good for you as a bowler.

Mark Garaway, David Hinchliffe and Sam Lavery get together for cricket banter and coach chat.

This week there is a good discussion on helping bowlers at nets do more than "just bowl". Then questions from listeners are answered. The topics on the table are batting backlift (or back swing) and staying on your toes while you field.

Listen for the deets!

Batsmen plan out their hundreds in meticulous detail, but when was the last time you saw a bowler plan a five wicket haul?
