"Visualisation" is an often misunderstood part of every cricketer's preparation. At a recent Twenty20 tournament, I discuss the common sense approach to sport psychology.

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

The winning question was:

"My son started playing cricket 3 years back. Recently he has started to play against the bowling machine. He is purely a front foot player with nice check drives and defence. His problem is the cut and pull. Even if the ball is slow and short he is not able to play the pull or cut, there is big difference to his front foot and back foot play. So what is the problem do you attribute to? How can this be rectified? Is he lacking hand eye coordination?"

Gautum Gambhir is a fine batsman, but he got severe criticism from many quarters in the Test against England for being a selfish player.

When batting with the tail, Gambhir decided to play defensively scoring 6 runs in 27 balls. He combined this block with little effort to farm the strike and protect the weaker batters.

It got Shane Warne all hot and bothered.

Mark Garaway and David Hinchliffe host cricket chat about a range of topics including Gara's tour to Dubai, fast bowling and a mysterious appearance from Burners.

The this week are about throwing on the bounce (or not) and a player with a great front foot game, but terrible back foot play.

Many of the leading Cricket nations now use "Talent Testing" for 13 and upwards as a part of their talent identification process. I want to show you how to use some of these tests in your coaching.

Here is the first of the talent test drills that you can use to test players and then provide feedback that improves performance. What's not to love?

Recently a coach told me he thought the term "energy leak" was another example of coaching double-speak.

Words that make you sound clever but mean very little, if anything at all.

Now I'm there first name on the list against that kind of nonsense, but I had to disagree about energy leaks.

Sure, it does sound clever.

But it also means something very important.

If you want to understand how deep passions run for cricket in Mumbai, just go to an Academy and watch young cricketers desperate for a chance to be the next Tendulkar.

But an Academy that has little success rarely lasts long. To succeed, the coaches need to have an even deeper passion than their charges. They need to be mindful and knowledgeable.

The pitch for the 2nd Test between England and India was a raging turner. England's batsmen notoriously weak against spin while India went in with 3 spinners.

So why did India lose?

And how can you make sure your own team doesn't suffer a similar fate?

We have all been there; arriving at a pitch that seems tailor-made for your strengths. It's even better when you look at the opposition and realise they struggle in the key match-ups.

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

The winning question was:

"I've got some rep trials coming up and I'm wondering what coaches and selectors would be looking for in a leg spin bowler and a midle order batsmen?"

Toby Radford from Serious Cricket has another batting tip to help you score more runs.

When you face really fast bowling you can move just before the bowler releases the ball to get yourself fired up and ready to move forward or back.

This pre-delivery or trigger move is subject to a lot of thought by batsmen around the world, but what is the best way to use a trigger move?
