Before the England Pakistan limited over series I read a tweet. It said reading the form guide is all you need to know about the result.

But England confounded recent form - and that opinion - by thrashing Pakistan in both T20 and 50 over formats.

As part of the launch of Kevin Pietersen’s Keep Calm and Smash It online videos and eBook, the show has a distinct KP feel.

The questions section also has a batting bent; as six hitting and putting away bad balls on the back foot is discussed. Plus we look at how a top performing International like Kevin reviews past tours and looks to the future with intent.

I ‘m delighted to announce that Kevin Pietersen’s online coaching courses Keep Calm and Smash It are now available exclusively on PitchVision Academy.

As you know, back in January we announced KP was revealing his methods in his first ever online coaching courses. And since then it’s been a feast of KP action on the site as a preview to the main event.

Now the wait is over: Keep Calm and Smash It courses are now available.

It’s time for another free preview of Kevin Pietersen’s online coaching course: Keep Calm and Smash It.

As you know, KP is well known for his commitment to practice, and leaving no stone unturned in his quest for excellence.

In Keep Calm and Smash It Kevin Pietersen gives you the tools to copy the practice methods that allowed him to reach the top. Part of that method is documenting where you are and recording your improvements.

That’s where the comprehensive course worksheets come in.

And in this preview KP is giving away the exact worksheet that comes with Chapter 1 of the course.

I worked with Kevin Pietersen for nearly 4 years on a day to day basis.

Kevin Pietersen reveals his secrets of playing spin bowling in this exclusive preview video of Keep Calm and Smash It.

KP has had great success against some world -class spinners. Warne and Muralitharan both suffered at the bat of the England man.

And now - in this video filmed at the Oval in London as part of KP’s online coaching course - you can learn how he does it so well.

In the classic movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones is faced with a problem.

Trying to make a run for it he is intercepted by an intimidating swordsman doing tricks with a sword that the hat and whip had no chance against.

Research has show the simple truth: the better the batsman you are the faster you pick up the line and length of the bowler.

But how do you do that so you can emulate the likes of Kevin Pietersen who seems to have so much time he knows what the bowler has bowled before the bowler even knows?

In the first of three articles on sweeping spinners, I look at the hard sweep: The ‘normal’ sweep where the ball is hit out towards the square leg boundary along the ground.

Many commentators are very critical on the shot and its use in any format of the game.
