  • Brilliant - helpful and hilarious

    Decided to subscribe after listening to and enjoying your podcasts for a while now. My son is a 14 year old county bowler and we often listen on the way to or back from games. We just listened to the pod about getting seen and trials. We both laughed so much we were in tears listening to you both respond to the recording of the guy offering ‘expert’ advice on breaking into top flight cricket. We ended up imagining similar scenarios where people we know would just rook up. Great fun.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Guest Episode | S&C Ross Dewar from Cricket Strength
Q: What advice could you give to club cricketers looking to improve themselves physically and from a pace aspect?
Focus on getting the kinetic chain working efficiently rather than just loading on strength. Work with med balls rather than barbells for better results.
Special Guest Episode | S&C Ross Dewar from Cricket Strength
Q: What would you highly recommend in prep and recovery to keep yourself on the park injury-free?
For prep, avoid static stretching; instead, incorporate movement flows and running drills to mimic bowling mechanics. For recovery, prioritize relaxation and hydration rather than aggressive foam rolling or similar treatments.
November Cricket Update!
Q: Why can batters switch hands without turning the bowler, but bowlers can't switch hands and bowl without having to declare it to the umpire?
They feel it's unfair as it favors batters while limiting bowlers' options.
November Cricket Update!
Q: Will being faster make me a better bowler?
To a certain extent, yes, but it also depends on maintaining control and other techniques.
November Cricket Update!
Q: What are your thoughts on bowlers who throw it?
They believe it should not be allowed, and it's poor that bowlers can play first class cricket without addressing this issue.
