With Mark Garaway away in the West Indies, cocktail in hand, it’s over to Burners and David Hinchliffe to run the ship.

Batting coach Gary Palmer joins the show to talk angles, technique and an alternative method that challenges current approaches to caoching.

Meanwhile Burner, Mark Garaway and David Hinchliffe discuss the IPL auction and how the biggest name players are not always the most important (and how that applies to your team).

Plus questions are answered on finding form after an injury, how to stop playing everything off the back foot and how to sport a beard as well as Matt Prior (listen to the show to find out more).

Mark Garaway and David Hinchliffe discuss batting collapses in the light of India and England’s poor performances on tour. Every team has had a collapse, so the team talk about ways you can at least try to prevent them in your side.

Iain Brunnschweiler joins the show on the phone to talk about his work with the England Under 17 players in a recent camp, and also his Inspired Cricket Manual.

Plus we answer your questions on the importance of psychology in cricket and what to do if you are a short fast bowler. Themes that are universal but both came from Indian correspondants this week.

Finally, our interview this week is Surajit Lahiri; highly respected club cricketer from Kolkota who has also played and coached in the UK.

It’s the last in the series this week, but don’t worry the show is back in the new year better than ever.

Mark Garaway takes time out from choosing a new head of MCCU Loughborough to give his normal simple yet effective advice and insight.

We don’t just talk about what is happening at the ECB performance centre though. Burner’s and David chat with Garas about 2 day batting camps, fitness for fast bowlers and switching to spin aged 25.

Burners gets on his soap box with a vengeance too (stay tuned right until the end to hear a bonus rant).

Sadly due to technical difficulties we are unable to bring you an interview this week, but there is still plenty for you to enjoy in the half hour. 

 The great Des Haynes week continues on PitchVision Academy. In the show this week we interview the great man about his time playing in the outstanding West Indies sides of the 80s and 90s.

We love spinners on the PitchVision Academy Cricket Show. It’s a long term campaign of the show to encourage more spinners who rip it, and less miserly slow-medium pacers.

Aakash Chopra joins the show on the phone to discuss the mindsets of being a successful player. But that doesn’t mean we miss any of the usual fun.

Plus we rant about declarations and look into choosing a new cricket club.

And it wouldn’t be the cricket show without a discussion about cricket teas. Will the team really have a bake off after the close of play?

Left arm swing bowlers have unique advantages and challenges, so we look at the main ones this week. If you bowl left arm or coach left-armers this is the show for you.

• The problems of selecting a new coach (from international to club level)

Burners is away again this week, but big cheese Richard steps in to give us the full story as begun last week.

Burners is back and rocking the cricket world with a kiss-and-tell style barrage of revelations about himself, the company CEO and West Indian cricket.

We discuss how to get into rhythm; balancing work and cricket; what practice is best and how to keep your focus if you are bowling badly or getting hit.

With Burners out of action this week, PitchVision boss Richard steps in to fill the void. Everyone look busy.

It’s a tale of two bookends of the summer on the show this week.
