How can a player transition into being a good coach? With the appointments of Collingwood and Ramprakash to high profile roles, and some criticism floating around, the team discuss if you need to be a world-class player to coach at world-class levels. Or a good player to coach at good levels.
David Hinchliffe, Sam Lavery and Mark Garaway go on to look at cricket bats, and in particular how you deal with a bat that is not right for you. Plus we discuss the term "skidding the ball" and try to interpret exactly what it is, and how to use it to your advantage.
Your thoughts on the topic are welcome.

How to Develop Fighting Cricketers
When someone says that a player is or isn’t mentally tough I always reply with "what is mental toughness"?
This was a question that was asked to England's best players back in the mid-2000s by Dr Steve Bull and his Sports Psychology team. The findings of those discussions ultimately split the subject of mental toughness into 4 sub-categories: Fight, Inner Drive, Critical Moment Control and Resilience
By breaking the huge subject down, we are able to attribute characteristics that define each of these 4 sub-categories. As coaches, we can make interventions and build strategies into our planning that help to develop and challenge these capacities with our players and teams.
So let's take "fight" and delve a little deeper into the associated characteristics:
