The Inner Secrets of Elite IPL Academy Run by Rajasthan Royals Coach

PitchVision Academy are delighted to announce How to Become a Cricketer, the total guide to achieving your cricket dreams - from IPL to Test cricket - from respected Rajasthan Royals coach, Monty Desai.

Click here for full details.

We are delighted that Monty has chosen to let PitchVision into his elite Mumbai Academy to see first hand how he and his team turn raw talented cricketers into polished IPL, state and International heros.

Over 4 days filming Monty gave us access all areas to the Academy with a huge waiting list and with players flocking for trials every week. And rightly so, as Monty has coached worldwide, achieved the coveted ECB Level 4 award and is a coach in the Rajasthan Royals, giving him unprecedented knowledge of what it takes to reach the highest level.

In these videos, you'll finally learn:

This week's winner of the Cricket Show podcast question competition is Ryan. He wins a free coaching course from PitchVision Academy.

The winning question was,

"I'm interested to know your thoughts on field settings for spinners in one day cricket and how to deal with the middle over periods as well as powerplays and being able to attack but not go for too many runs."

"Culture" is a modern term but the idea has a long history. With team cultures high in the mind of the podcasters, Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery tell David Hinchliffe all about the importance of a good culture, and how to build and maintain winning ways with a good environment. This applies all the way from the pros to the kids.

There are also readers questions, as always. The topics on the line are bowling spin in the middle overs of limited over cricket and the role of pace compared to fast bowling guile through swing bowling. What's more important?

Listen in to find out.

Cricket is a game of conventions. That's one of it's strengths. It's also one of it's weaknesses.

Things we have always considered to be correct and true are turning out to be less than universal. The world is changing fast. For a sport that is hundreds of years old and steeped in tradition, that's not always comfortable.

The transition from indoor - with the ball coming on to the bat, being able to hit on the up - to outdoor surfaces with slower decks, seam and variable bounce is a tricky one for any batter.

Here is an indoor drill (elements can also be used outdoors) to help batsmen build skill and a precise mental approach.

It really works.

Here's a simple way to adapt a bowling drill so it can be used by batsmen.
