Welcome to PitchVision miCricketCoach, your guide to playing better cricket. What is PitchVision miCricketCoach? miCricketCoach was born in June 2008 when miSport came together with another cricket coaching site: Harrowdrive miSport started up a couple of years ago and just like Harrowdrive, everything is geared to club cricketers. miSport’s product, PitchVision, is a coaching software for Clubs and Schools that makes a ‘Hawkeye’ style system available to everyone. It’s a tool for helping players track their own batting and bowling data and use it to improve their game. The exciting thing was that both wanted to pioneer online cricket coaching. It just made sense to join forces. What can you get from miCricketCoach? It doesn’t matter what level you play, how old you are or how much you play. There will be something here you can use to improve. The main focus is not on top level cricket. There are plenty of other sites to give you news and views on that.
