In our previous 10 week case study, we looked at overall results for the group, so now I want to drill down further and look at how individual players fared. The first of these players is "A", who wanted to bowl faster while improving his accuracy over a couple of months in the off season.

Let's look at what we did and how we did it.

After another stonking year of cricket, it's time we had a quick look back at the highlights. So, whether you are a veteran of PitchVision Academy or this is your first visit, this collection of content is a great place to look at what we gave you in the last 12 months.

A powerful throw sends a message to a batting team.

The batsmen are looking for a second run and you are in the deep. The both look up to see your throw, as do most of the batsmen waiting to come in. There is a subtle moment of expectation: Just how good is this guy’s throw?

IPL Coach, Monty Desai is running a five day specialised Twenty20 bowling camp in Mumbai, powered by PitchVision ball tracking and video technology.

Running daily between 28th December 2015 and 1st January 2016 at the Venus Sports Academy, Goregaon (West), Mumbai, the camp is designed to improve Twenty20 bowling skills and help players take the next step to become a cricketer (ages 16 and over).

After this epic case study article, we got a comment from Facebook saying, "You could realistically be drilling/bowling close to 500 reps per week, which would get improvement.". Yet our case study players averaged a mere 38 reps per week, despite putting in 20 hours of sessions. The highest in any one week was 114. Miles away from 500.

Have we wasted our time?

More importantly, are you wasting your time if you can't put in 500 reps a week?

When training for difficult operations, the US Navy SEAL commanders insist on "situations that are exponentially more stressful, chaotic, and dynamic than any combat operation".

They train hard so they can win easy.

This is a superb principle for cricket too.

Over the last 10 weeks, eight cricketers have been conducting an experiment in improving their cricket. Today, I want to give you the results of that hard work.

This is both a story and an evidence-based piece of research. There are lessons to be learned about every aspect of cricket coaching; how to improve, how long it takes to see changes, how to manage unexpected situations, dealing with people and dealing with your own mental game. There's a tale here for you that has taken well over 30 hours to construct.
