Filed in:

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

The winning question was:

"When batters go out to face spin bowling should they have plan and what short of plan should it be? Like should it be, if he tosses it up I'm going to use my feet and get to the ball and if he drops it short I'm going to get deep in my great an work it around? Or should it be more complex?"

Listen to the panels answer to his question here.

How do you go about setting a target batting first? That's the topic under discussion as we examine the failures of the ODI series between India and New Zealand. Don't make the same mistakes in your club side, listen to the show for advice from David Hinchliffe, Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery.

Plus, in the mailbag, there are questions about game plans for playing spin and the differences between formats and how that influences your style and tempo of play. But as usual the conversation wanders into much wider areas, including a single question - related to Doctor Who - that will turn negative experiences into positive changes.

And Garas gives us another great term: pressure mountains. Listen to the show to find out more.
