This is an exclusive preview of Swing Bowling Masterclass from Nathan Bracken

Swing bowling is about more than just tearing in and bowling as fast as you can. You need a more tactical approach.

In games you try and run the same routine and thought process from ball to ball. To me, it was understanding who I was up against. Different players played things differently.

Adithya asked one of the ultimate questions for batters;

"Please teach me how to select the right shot in cricket."

Thus may seem a perfectly valid question with a sensible answer like "if you get a half volley on off stump, drive it straight". Simple.

The team of Burners, Mark Garaway and David Hinchliffe talk about Chris Gayle and also tackle the issue of playing "seriously" in recreational cricket. How do you find a balance?

Plus, there are questions from listeners about how to confuse a batsman, and the best structure for a non-professional cricket team.

On the day Chris Gayle rewrote the Twenty20 history books, I aptly worked with some talented young players on power hitting.

As with many young players, the guys I worked with today swung hard, hit a few for 4 and missed plenty of balls that sailed harmlessly through to the keeper.

Somewhere in the world right now is a cricketer panicking.

He's panicking because his season starts in two or three weeks and he has spent the winter doing anything but cricket.

He was too busy for nets, he forgot about the gym membership he paid for in January and pressure for his time comes from all sides; family, friends and work.

Maybe that guy is even you.

If it is, you're not alone. Life gets in the way of good intentions.

This is an exclusive excerpt from Nathan Bracken's Swing Bowling Masterclass.

To me, getting the seam position right was very important. If you have control of the seam, you have a much greater control of how much you can swing the ball.

That's why I had a little friend that used to travel everywhere with me. He helped me make sure I had excellent control of the seam.

"You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup" - Bruce Lee.

If there is one thing you cannot accuse of the IPL, or any form of Twenty20 cricket for that matter, it's of the quiet calmness of a cup of water.

Bouncers fly past noses, stumps get destroyed, sixes get bludgeoned and the crowds go berserk (except when Sachin gets out).

It's noisy chaos.

Which is why the secret to success in this format is to be able to filter out all that noise and, as Bruce Lee said, become the cup.

Burners rejoins David Hinchliffe and Mark Garaway to talk about the IPL, Sunil Narine, Chris Gayle and plenty of other cricket coaching chat.

Friend of the show Aakash Chopra's article on Narine is discussed in detail.

As you know, I love coaching fielding and perfecting elements of the game that gives teams the best chance of squeezing life out of the opposition batters and taking wickets.

One of the tactics I use to achieve this is the "7 man fielding unit". I challenge the team to commit at least 7 active players to each delivery that is hit into or through the inner ring.
