35. For the record, in real cricket you don’t have to call “O.C.” (Over Coming) or “creaseleave” when you leave your crease but not for the purpose of running.

34. Play real back-yard cricket. Reward good batting technique (that is to say, reward straight drives but punish hitting the ball in the air) and play with a ball that lets you bowl bouncers (preferably on a shortened pitch with a ball that swings outrageously (eg indoor cricket balls or tennis balls with electrical tape on one side).

33. In loose hanging nets don’t bend over to pick up a ball if it is near the net and there is a chance the adjacent batsmen could hit the ball into you through the net. Pick your moment and use the end of your bat to roll the ball back towards you in a safe position to pick up or put the toe of your bat against the net to keep it and any balls hit at a safe distance from you.

31. Sing your team’s song (or anthem or war cry) after you win. The captain should know the words and proudly teach anyone who doesn't.

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.

30. No matter how desperate you are for a wicket, a bowler should never mankad someone without giving a warning or two to the batsman and the umpire and checking with your captain.
