Every now and again someone will challenge one of the central pillars of our coaching philosophy.

As you know, we feel that fitness is important to cricket. Others put less of an emphasis on it, which can lead to some interesting debates. Where is the truth?

In the death match between skill and fitness, who is the winner?

It's the long awaited return of Kevin to the show this week. David and Kev catch up with each others cricket news and this week's '5 Questions' interviewee is Ben Baruch.

The show also includes:

Nobody tries to throw the ball when they are bowling.

Yet for some, especially young bowlers who are trying to bowl fast, that is exactly what happens. Unlike most technical errors, throwing is illegal under the Laws of cricket and has an unfair stigma attached to it that can ruin a players bowling career. If you come across such a problem it needs to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible.

This edition of Umpires Corner in association with the International Institute of Cricket Umpiring and Scoring covers some more tricky questions of the Laws.

The former Middlesex bowler Simon Hughes certainly thinks so. He uniquely explains the rise of Graeme Swann from bad boy to first choice England spinner. Swann doesn't get his wickets through vicious turn and bounce. He doesn't get them through a mysterious doosra or carom ball.

We travel to London this week to catch up with case study subject Naz while watching Ealing CC play a friendly match.

Would your club side be better with a couple of excellent spin bowlers? How about your Test team?

They are mysterious, a joy to watch and frustrating to play against. But spinners need careful attention if they are to be developed properly. It's easy for coaches and captains to crush the enthusiasm and confidence of a young player simply by misunderstanding how to handle them.

Low scoring games are an intense mental challenge for players. It's the side who can hold their nerve that come out victors.

It's about a combination of attitude, tactics and effort.

This free video guides you through a simple drill to help you improve your bowling control without becoming robotic. Filmed at Activate Cricket Centre in Sydney, you can do the drill on your own or with a coach giving feedback as you perform it.

This week's show is a special interview with the fat loss troubleshooter Leigh Peele.
