Judging by the number of questions we get here at PitchVision Academy, a lot of players and coaches have a cricketing problem they need solving. Everyone has something; a technical flaw in the cover drive, not quick enough bowling, getting gassed with low fitness levels and a hundred other things.

Fielding drills can cause injury and hold back improvements in technique if players are not given enough rest. It's rest times that can make or break a good fielding drill session.

God is levitatingMention 'fielding drills' to most club and school cricketers and they are wracked with indecision and guilt. Like flossing we all know we should do it but we don't because we know how boring it is.

Cricket Basic Number 57 (Batting): Train Your Hand-Eye Coordination

57. For hand-eye training hit a golf ball against the base of a water tank with a wicket stump. Repeat if possible, otherwise simply try and play lots of hand-eye-ball sports especially table-tennis and squash and similar games that involve hitting fast moving balls. Even baseball, overall a much simpler game than cricket, can improve a batsman’s eye and a fielder’s arm.
