"Recently after a long break I played aT20 game. I bowled the 11th over and got a wicket in the very first ball. I was delighted by the fact that i was rewarded so early in my over without even spending a run. But this situation backfired on me instead of giving me confidence. I was so much under pressure since the expectations were high. But after that first wicket ball things seemed to not be under my control. I leaked 21 runs after that including 6 wides. I was not given another chance after that over. I felt that i just threw it away. So how do I stay calm when Ihave been rewarded early in the over and not get pressurized by the expectations?"

Players get shoulder soreness and injuries as a result of only using their throwing shoulder rather than the whole body to produce the pace and power needed to deliver a strong and accurate throw.

Here are 3 more tips to improve your throw with that in mind:

Ian Thacker is the interview guest this week as he gives us a peek behind the curtain of the ACE cricket academy in Perth, Western Australia.

We discover what it's like to get a complete coaching programme, including the use of PitchVision and BATEX to become a cricketer.

Also in the show, Mark Garaway answers your coaching questions about slow scoring, getting out and handling early success that becomes later failure.

Why do kids play cricket? If you know the answer to that then you know the secret to coaching younger players.

I have been coached by several people over the years. I coached my first team in the summer of 1994. In that time have seen many coaches who could answer that question and had access to the secret.

Yet somehow their coaching does not reflect the answers they give.

This is causing young players to leave the game.

Imagine a game situation where you have a tail-end batsman at one end, and a well-set batter at the other end. It makes senses to spend more time bowling at the weaker player. You are more likely to get a wicket.

The trouble is that the set batsman will do everything he can to stay on strike by hitting boundaries in the over then stealing a single on the last ball.

You don't want to defend this tactic alone as you still want to try to bowl both players out. But you also want to stop the boundary shots.

So you set an in-out field.

In short format cricket, the left arm quick is a great option to have in your team. When bowling to right handed batsmen they have the tactical advantage of slanting the ball across, making it harder to go leg side.

This was first used to brilliant effect by England in the winning World T20 campaign in 2010, but it is just as useful at club, school and Academy level.

The batsman is trying in most case to hit the ball hard over the leg side field.

Cricket is, above all, a game of technique and mental strength. It’s one that is ideal for coaches to flourish: providing direct advice to those with a burning hunger to perform.

Yet even with the awesome information power of the web, these influencers remain strangely isolated.

The men and women with the keys are rarely found outside the locked door of the professional game where they ply their trade.

"I used to bat at no 3 in my club , but I had to shift to a new club. My new club consists of star players who take the first five positions at the top of the order and I have to bat at no 6 as I am a newcomer. As a result in Saturday league matches I have to slog most of the time in the death overs which is pretty different from what i was doing in my previous club. I was always a technical player scoring most runs of the ground but now when I start slogging I tend to go across the line and get out cheaply. Can you advise how to slog effectively; I have heard about opening your body position but don't exactly know how it works?"

I employed a baseball coach called Will Lintern to teach the Ireland Cricket Team to hit stumps on a more regular basis in the lead up to the 2011 World Cup. The aim was to become the best ground fielding team in the world.

Our indicators were number of clean pick ups, run outs and direct hits.

Will coached a number of principles yet the ones that are easiest to remember are the 3 Keys to Accuracy:
