New Zealand Cricket has a vacancy for a High Performance Coach, reporting to the GM High Performance.   As well as being Head Coach of the New Zealand A, New Zealand XI and New Zealand Under-19 teams, the HP Coach will also contribute to the development of players identified as having international potential by providing specific cricket input into their individual performance plans, through coaching individuals directly, or engaging other specialist coaches as required. The role also has input into the identification and education of high performance coaches nationally. 

Graeme Smith has retired. He was such a unique player, are there any lessons we can possibly take from the South African?

It would be foolish to simply try and copy him in technique or character. He was a bristling personality, often favouring the task over man management. He looked like he was about to get out LBW all the time. You can't copy that unless you are of similar temperament, judgement and body type to Smith.

Yet we can't deny it worked for him. Even under huge pressures he piled on the runs; over 16,000 in international cricket at well over forties. That's a lot of flicks to leg. It also means it's not down to luck, or natural talent. Something else is going on there.

So, lets unpick the skills that you can transfer to your game without having to have a barrel chest, an aggressive leadership style and a lantern jaw.

Based at Lord’s Cricket Ground, the MCC Cricket Academy hosts the world’s leading cricket technologies – including Hawk-Eye and Pitch Vision – coupled with expert advice from our professionally qualified coaches.  

We are looking for casual cover for our Cricket Academy reception to assist with the provision of a professional and welcoming service to guests and visitors to the Cricket Academy.  Whilst some of the work would be during the day, the majority would be during the evening and at weekends.

There's no doubt that technology is transforming the way we prepare as cricketers. Analysis tools have never been easier or cheaper so even club players can get in on the game.

When I interviewed Glamorgan Coach Toby Radford, I asked him about how he uses technology to help him coach, and his answer was emphatic:

HAMPSHIRE CRICKET – CRICKET COACHES

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

The winning question was:

"I'm 10 years old and really want to bowl spin. A coach from a coaching clinic said I have talent as a spin bowler but my club coach won't let me bowl spin and if I bowl spin he will bat me at number 11. I've had this coach for one season already and I signed up to play again so I still have to play a whole season with him as a coach. Please help me?"

Listen to the panels answer to his question here.

In 2002 I learned that hard work wasn't the secret to success.

My gym work was spot on. I was training harder and better than ever. I could see no room to improve (remember this was a few years back, and at the time you could not have found a better programme or a more motivated trainer).

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.
