The International Cricket Council (“ICC”) is the global governing body for the sport, which administers all aspects of international cricket. Protecting the reputation and integrity of the game of cricket is a critical part of the ICC’s mandate.  This mandate is implemented and reinforced by the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU).

What goes into becoming an excellent spinner? It's a question raised recently by this article looking at what England need to do to improve their spin stock. What can you learn from these ideas to take into your spin bowling?

When I was Head Coach of Somerset, my main intention was to develop a fielding unit that would smash all others out of the park.

We worked significantly on our positioning, our specificity with specialist deep fielders, "box men " and slips. We ensured that everyone could high catch and dive in an effective fashion. We focussed on our high traffic area fielders being excellent stump hitters.

One of the problems with batting in cricket nets is that you can't see where you hit the ball after it goes into the net. So, here is a drill to bring in a better way to assess your shots you can take from the nets to the middle. In the video, we use a scoring system that lets the batsman self-assess each shot.

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

The winning question was,

"How can i lose my weight to play cricket is there any diet plan or exercise."

Listen to the panels answer to his question here.

Here's a super quick guide to setting up PitchVision Coach on your PC. It's quick because it's easy! You simply need to know three things; who is using it, where are you, and what you are doing.

We call these things; players, venues and sessions.

Let's assume you are setting up everything from scratch for now.

(In reality, most of this stuff only needs to be set up once and then you will just reuse it.)

Building relationships with other players can be tough. But it's a vital part of being in a team or coaching players, so the team of Sam Lavery, Mark Garaway and David Hinchliffe talk about how to handle different situations,including the dreaded "chimp brain".

Plus there are questions answered on how to lose weight for cricket, and setting the field for a podcast favourite; leg spinners. Tune in to get the lowdown (if indeed you tune these days).

How big are your players catching areas?

Super slow motion cameras are great for noting the size of catching areas in both keepers and fielders. Often, we see that catchers line the ball up with one open hand and more closed one, this is great if judgement is spot on or if the ball does not dip or deviate in the air.
