Admit it, you know your average.

Some players know it to the 3rd decimal place, some have a more vague idea, but we all love to know what our average is. It's such an easy way to compare players. Average over 40 with that bat and you are doing well, average under 20 with the ball and you are a star player.

But stats are increasingly having a place in helping teams win more games, and most teams can take advantage easily, even at club and school level.

All are proven to give you the edge but because they don't originate in the cricket world have not been picked up by the mainstream of players yet.

If you want to be a better cricketer you better play lots of cricket. That's a no brainer. But what if too much cricket leaves players failing to reach their potential?

It might upset some of the players of yesteryear, but the research shows that you can play too much cricket (or any sport) when you are growing up.

I remember when this was all fields

Ever wondered what makes some talented players succeed and others fail?

If there is one person who knows more about picking people with that something extra it's record executive, TV producer and celebrity judge Simon Cowell.

Through shows like Pop Idol, American Idol, The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent, Cowell has honed his ability to pick a diamond from the rough and make it shine.
