There's no doubt that technology is transforming the way we prepare as cricketers. Analysis tools have never been easier or cheaper so even club players can get in on the game.

When I interviewed Glamorgan Coach Toby Radford, I asked him about how he uses technology to help him coach, and his answer was emphatic:

HAMPSHIRE CRICKET – CRICKET COACHES

Hampshire Cricket are looking to add high quality coaches to their coaching team for the 2014 summer, with coaching opportunities available across Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex and Berkshire.

Successful applicants will hold a minimum of a UKCC Level 2 qualification in cricket; a current CRB/DBS check; First aid and Safeguarding certificates; knowledge of coaching senior and juniors of varying standards from beginners to experienced club players; good organisation, communication and administrative skills; a clean driving licence and a valid UK work permit.

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

The winning question was:

"I'm 10 years old and really want to bowl spin. A coach from a coaching clinic said I have talent as a spin bowler but my club coach won't let me bowl spin and if I bowl spin he will bat me at number 11. I've had this coach for one season already and I signed up to play again so I still have to play a whole season with him as a coach. Please help me?"

Listen to the panels answer to his question here.

In 2002 I learned that hard work wasn't the secret to success.

My gym work was spot on. I was training harder and better than ever. I could see no room to improve (remember this was a few years back, and at the time you could not have found a better programme or a more motivated trainer).

Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery join David Hinchliffe to chat about the missing two thirds of batting development, and how you can work on your picking line and length and shot selection alongside developing perfect technique.

Plus, we focus on spin in the readers questions. We talk about a spinner who is not allowed to bowl spin and a coach who wants to help his spinners get more turn.

Burners is on the road and speaks to Mark Thorburn, Analyst at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, about how he works with the bowlers to attack the most important areas.

Have you ever said to a batter "you have 6 balls left!", then they change their mode and just slog?

The damage that this does is immeasurable.

Any progress from the session is diluted or reduced. The batting shapes and thought processes evaporate.

Arguments ensue about whether it was 4, 6 or caught at deep mid on

The batter starts the next opportunity to bat with this poor experience running through their veins.

It's one of my biggest bug bears, and for years I have been trying to figure out a way around this.

This is a guest article from former professional bowler, and current Strength, Conditioning and Fast Bowling Coach Steffan Jones.

Why is Mitchell Johnson so unplayable at the moment?

What has made him change from a guy that struggled to hit the cut strip to now being the quickest bowler in the world and a genuine game changer?
