Whatever your style as a batsman, you can't use it as an excuse.

If you are a big hitter and you get out in a tight run chase trying to clear deep midwicket, you can't shrug and say "it's the way I play".

If you are a naturally cautious batsman there is no excuse for making the middle order have to take risks because you have wasted balls at the top of the order.

Some might say it's selfish batting.

"For the past few years I am really struggling with my confidence. I am not able to perform at all and I am constantly working very hard. When I perform poorly I then start feeling depressed.

Not everyone fits the mould, so on the show the team discuss players who are outliers; those who need special attention in cricket coaching.

plus Mark Garaway, Sam Lavery and David Hinchliffe also talk about "the fear", when it seems like everything is going wrong and you don't know what to do. For one listener, it was so bad he was praying the ball would never come to him!

And there is a dicussion on changing bowling action from front on to side on; when would you need to do it, why would you need to do it and, importantly, how to do it safely and effectively.

Listen in for birthday banter, #garasgold and much more!

England's disarray against fast bowling at Lord's was not a surprise to those who have watched them closely over the years.

Despite Lords being a very good batting track, England seemed clueless against the fast bowling onslaught in the 4th innings.

Australia shifted their length of attack to push the batters back and then pitched the ball fuller to bring the stumps in or get the edge. The classic combination of short, short, full. The same combination that undid them in Australia 18 months ago.

So what can be done in this situation?

Here are some drills.

Ikgomotseng Mothoa was the Cricket South Africa PitchVision RPC and HUBS Coach of the Year.

Details:

Name: Ikgomotseng Mothoa

Age: 29

Role: Head Coach, Hammanskraal Cricket Club

Ikgomotseng Mothoa was a Premier club cricketer who moved into grass-roots coaching through his passion for bringing cricket to youngsters in South African townships.

This drill is part of the PitchVision Academy fielding drills series, for more in this series click here.

Purpose: To practice realistic ring ground fielding, run outs and backing up.

Description: Set up with fielders at point, extra cover, midwicket and square leg. One extra fielder waits behind point. The coach is fed an underarm feed and hit the ball to point (position 1). The fielder pick up and throws down the non-striker stumps. She then moves across to extra cover.

Being in a good team requires you to be a good team member. It's easy to think the best way to do that is by strong individual performances, but you can easily do so much more and contribute to other's games at the same time.

Cricket is a team sport played by solo players. Teamwork is a more subtle area that is easy to overlook. So let's no over-complicate things and get right to the heart of what makes a good team player (who doesn't compromise her own game in the process).

Start by looking left and right.

The winning question was,

Mark Garaway, Sam Lavery and David Hinchliffe tackle cricket coaching issues. The show this week discusses the differences between removing weaknesses and building up strengths. Sometimes you can do both.

Plus there are listeners questions to examine. One player is wondering if his open stance is causing his issues outside off stump. Meanwhile someone else reminds Garas of his days at Cricket Ireland and asks about slow pitches and faster scoring.
