[...] Lift weights. Strength training reduces your risk of injury on the cricket pitch, makes you a more powerful player and boosts your metabolism far more than sitting on a stationary bike.

Wow, that's a bunch of great resources!

I don't play cricket, but you lay out some good basic fitness and nutrition tips that would be good for almost anyone looking to do a different workout.

You could probably bunch that all together into an e-book and sell it to cricket players!

Liam - the glib answer is: All of them! Are we discussing macronutrient ratios though?

no i just need to know which 1s u need for my college nutrition assignment and also for my cricket

Well, you really do need them all. Macronutrients are protein, carbohydrate and fat. You need all three for different reasons.

There are many more micronutrients. Drop me an email with the question if you like. www.pitchvision.com/contact

sir,
bcoz my coaching camp small city in dharwad state: karnatak(india)i m creating small software in cricket coaching camps bcoz i want to different types of players photos and there shots.

Player assessment question. Example: - How do you assess an U 19 opening batsman ( slightly heavy kid but excellent skills) who consistently scores runs in his age group in competitive cricket? He has great temperament and bats long hours since under 15 days. And he does well in fitness tests and is a strong lad. But some people get the impression that he is slow between wickets, but the guy continues to get runs and is a decent fielder. Are we going wrong in the assessment of players with this stereotype that a player must be slim to succeed at the next level? What is the ultimate tool for measuring a batsman? Runs right?

to the guy above
just becuz hes a bit heavy doesnt mean nothin. imagine wat he could do if he muscled up and toned down. I was a bit overweigt, not much but enough to hold me bak,last season, before i started playing rugby league. But wat i have learnt is just run. plain and simple.
good luck in the future
jeremy

Runs are the ultimate tool. Fitness is an important element in a holistic approach to skill. That's really the key message of micoach.

For my A Level PE i am analysing my performance in cricket. I have to provide the exam board with a 8 week training plan for an elite performer in cricket. Please can you outline how an elite performer would train. This would be much appreciated. Thanks
