Speaking at an Karnataka State Cricket Association event in Bangalore recently, Sachin Tendulkar was talking about selection.
For him the key to finding the next Tendulkar wasn't about stats.
It wasn't about textbook technique.
Or immense power and timing.
Cricket Show 225: Competition Winner
This week's winner of the Cricket Show podcast question competition is Alex. He wins a free coaching course from PitchVision Academy.
The winning question was:
"I play for a relatively small club with three Saturday teams, but our colts section from U13 down to U7 is massive and just getting bigger! However, as these colts get older, there isn't space in the 3rds for them, and if they do play they don't get the opportunities to fully show their skills. I was thinking of starting a developmental side next season, and am asking for any advice on how to do so, such as the standard of opposition matches should be against, and the make-up of the side - like the balance between senior and junior players - to allow us to be competitive whilst blooding youngsters."

Here is a spin bowling question from Arutha that was emailed in:
Spinners: Technology will Save your Life
I was talking to the senior player in my team the other night about the decline of spin quality in the last 30 years.
There was no doubt in his mind that there are far fewer spinners of far lower quality than when he started playing. It's a sad story because spinners are match winners, especially in draw cricket.
I told him that we are on the edge of a resurgence in spin because of the rise of technology.
