Have you ever said or thought any of these things as a coach?

"Fielding is a non-negotiable"

"Catches win matches"

"Fielding is the only time that we are working together as a team, so it's vital that we are good at it!'

I agree, but I also ask: How well does your coaching fielders and keepers reflect those statements?

How much are the players developing their basic stop, catch and throw skills so that your team fielding drills increase in quality?

After all, the better these drills are performed the better our chances of wickets in matches.

Captaincy is one of the most fun parts of the game. It makes the already mentally tough game into a tactical puzzle akin to a game of chess.

So when you are skipper it behoves you to think like a chess grandmaster.

Top chess players are able to think many moves far ahead in the game. They quickly process the possibilities of each move by themselves and their opponents. This is exactly how a good captain operates.

It's a cliché to think someone who asks "who's winning?" knows nothing about cricket. It's also true, except for the advanced cricket captain, who is always asking that very question.
