Four Simple Ways to Take Fielding to the Next Level
A few years ago, only the best fielders would be diving, throwing down stumps and catching everything. Now anyone who can't do it is seen as a passenger.
So, that means your training needs to go up a level too.
It's not enough to do a few catches before nets anymore. You have to recreate and repeat match intensity skills. Here are four simple ways you can put into action right away.

How to Use Hypnosis to Become Swashbuckling Madmen in Limited Overs Cricket
I saw a tweet this morning relating to the 4th ODI between England and NZ in the unbelievable ODI series.
Still not sure how a team goes from toilet to swashbuckling madmen in a few weeks. Hypnosis? Bionic implants? Quinoa? All of the above?

PitchVision Coach of the Year Award: At the Heart of World-Class Cricket
PitchVision and Cricket South Africa have teamed up to find the best coaches in the country, and give them the recognition they deserve.
Quick Tip: Take Control of Practice
If you want your practice to go your way, you have to take responsibility.
One thing I often see at nets is the default having a hit: One person batting for 10 minutes with no purpose, and a range of bowlers. A good coach will do all she can to prevent this from happening but in a group setting it doesn't always work as planned.
So, you need to take a moment before, during and after the session.
Better Batting Goes Beyond Technique
Coach and Minor Counties Cricketer, Chris Watling, shares his experiences with another article on using your mind to get you out of bad form and back to run scoring.
When you're in a bit of bad form it's easy to be negative.
I'm sure you know the feeling of being stunted by in your mindset as you approach your next innings: You start to analyse how you’re getting out. You think about your technique. You want to correct those errors.
Stop the mistakes. Stop getting out.
This approach is hurting your game.
How to Practice Using Your Feet to Spin
Iain Brunnschweiler, top coach, has a great tip for those wanted to get better against playing spin.
If you want to be effective against spinners, it's really important that you are confident enough to use your feet and get down the wicket. Most spin bowlers know if they are bowling at a player who is confident in their footwork and decision-making, their margin for error becomes very small indeed.
