Pro's Tips

Matt Maynard - England & Glamorgan CC “When training at any age, it’s important to make the practice enjoyable and appropriate to the skills you will need in a game. Whether it is in warm-up games, fielding practise or batting and bowling in the nets, players need to challenge themselves to perform as they would do in a match-situation. Providing a competitive and enjoyable environment every session will keep them coming back and improving all the time.“

		Ian Harvey - Australia & Hampshire CC “Fielding has become such an important part of one-day and Twenty20 cricket, and can make the difference between winning and losing a game! I always make sure that I’m practicing my skills at catching, throwing at stumps and making diving stops. This gives me the best chance of fielding well in a match situation……..plus it’s great fun if you can make the drills competitive PRO TIP and challenging!”

James Foster - England & Essex CC “The first thing I think is that I want to catch every single ball that is within my reach – at the end of the day this is what wicketkeeping is all about! In order to be in a position to achieve this goal, it is vital that I practice catching balls at all different heights, angles and trajectories. I love training with the guys – the fact that its fun means I look forward to turning up every day!"
