Have you ever thought about how often life doesn't go according to plan? It certainly has occurred to Darryl Woods.

Darryl is a coach who, like every one of us, has had times when training has been challenging. Things don't always go according to plan through no fault of the coach. It's in moments like this that you have to adapt. And if you are quick thinking you can claw victory from the jaws of defeat.

Recently I caught up with Darryl over Skype. In a wide-ranging chat about cricket at club, school and rep level we got to speaking about those moments where life gets difficult. I enjoyed some of the tips so much I asked if we could get them out to the wider world though this article. As you are reading this now, you know he agreed! So, here are some real life examples of how you can adapt.

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

The winning question was,

"Whenever I bowl it always takes me 2 or 3 overs to find my line and length. I have tried longer warm ups but it's always the same. Can you help?"

Mark Garaway and David Hinchliffe are moved to speak about their feeling over death of Philip Hughes and the incredible outpouring of tributes in recent days. The cricket community have rallied around in a tragic time.

The world also keeps turning and so there are also discussions on cricket coaching and playing for the main part of the show. There is feedback about how to train to score a hundred, and questions about how to cut out looseners as a bowler, and how to be more consistent as a young player.
