As you know, I'm looking for someone to be the miCoach Case Study for 2009. With that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to get some more informal views of how everyone is playing and preparing at the moment.

So how is your season (or off season if you are in the winter like me) going?

Putting terrible larger events aside for a moment, England's one day losing streak in India after winning 4 against South Africa got me to thinking about how teams get themselves out of a cricketing hole.

I'm sure your own side has had similar times.

The 2008 case study series was an interesting time for both miCoach and the participants. I thought it might be interesting for you to see the results from the 2008 study.

I also want announce a brand new study for 2009 based on the experiences of 2008.

Imagine sitting down at a desk, blank sheet of paper in hand and trying to come up with a brand new fielding drill.

Many give up before getting to that point. Where do you even start? If you do make one up, what if it goes horribly wrong when you do it 'live'?

With a simple process in place to follow, it's easier than you think.

Ask most nutritionists about supplements for performance, health or any other reason and the stock answer is that a healthy diet requires no supplementation.

On good batting wickets, your off spinner is little more than a stock bowler. However, you are still trying to take wickets. With the right field (sometimes called 'in-out') and tactics you can run through a side by forcing errors, especially when bowling at the tail towards the end of an innings.
