Ian Pont has launched the Ultimate Pace Foundation in Bangalore: The chance for any Indian fast bowler to learn how to bowl faster. Ian explains why he set up his fast bowling academy, and how to join.

Every fast bowler would take an extra yard of pace.

Yet, India has not produced genuine fast bowlers. There is no genetic or physical reason for this. The only thing it can be is that young bowlers are not encouraged to bowl straight and fast like in Pakistan.

That's what I want to change at the Ultimate Pace Foundation.

I want Indian bowlers to come and take their chance to become a fast bowler. I want to have bowlers who have a heart for bowling fast. I want to break the tradition of being satisfied with being a trundler.

Have you ever said or thought any of these things as a coach?

"Fielding is a non-negotiable"

"Catches win matches"

"Fielding is the only time that we are working together as a team, so it's vital that we are good at it!'

I agree, but I also ask: How well does your coaching fielders and keepers reflect those statements?

How much are the players developing their basic stop, catch and throw skills so that your team fielding drills increase in quality?

After all, the better these drills are performed the better our chances of wickets in matches.

Captaincy is one of the most fun parts of the game. It makes the already mentally tough game into a tactical puzzle akin to a game of chess.

So when you are skipper it behoves you to think like a chess grandmaster.

Top chess players are able to think many moves far ahead in the game. They quickly process the possibilities of each move by themselves and their opponents. This is exactly how a good captain operates.

It's a cliché to think someone who asks "who's winning?" knows nothing about cricket. It's also true, except for the advanced cricket captain, who is always asking that very question.
