Ealing CC won the national club Twenty20 competition in the UK in 2011. Player-coach Chris Peploe talks us through the winning formula that also saw his team get to a cup semi-final and win their local Premier League.

We also answer your questions on the role of strength and conditioning in fast bowling, and what to look for in a cricket academy for young players. 

It’s controversy all round in the show as David and The Boss take a look at pink balls and floodlit first-class cricket, bad pitches and the fitness – or otherwise – of India’s cricketers.

We also answer questions on fitness and have an interview with Joe Shillaker of SM1 Coaching all about how cricket is an important factor in the wider development of youngsters in society.

It’s an unmissable start to your weekend, or your money back. 

With Burners and the Boss away, the show is packed with interviews instead.

Menno Gazendam talks about how it feels to be a successful spinner and resisting the temptation to become a seam bowler.

PitchVision Academy contributor Brian Wardle talks us through his experiences with powerlifting and playing cricket. You can see more about the training system he uses here and here. 

With the Indians in the middle of a rocking series against the English there is plenty for Burners and David to discuss on the show but we take a good look at spin bowling too.

First, we look at the spin issues Australia have, and how your club can learn from their mistakes.

Then we talk to Spin Bowling Tips author and spin coach Menno Gazendam in the first part of our interview in developing spin skills.

Menno also has an 8 week course in spin bowling available here. It’s free.

Finally we answer your questions on walking in and bowling runs ups.

It’s the height of summer in the UK so we are experiencing monsoon conditions. Undaunted by the weather Burners and David discuss all manner of cricket coaching, playing and watching.

We look at the big international series as England challenge India for the Test number 1 spot and try to work out what a bowling “enforcer” really does.

Plus Craig Wright gives us a few tips on how to be a club captain.

And of course we have your questions where we discuss how to stop getting bogged down as a batsman and how to get selected for rep level cricket. 

The show is invaded by an Aussie stowaway as Burners returns from his journey down under.

Burner’s gives us the inside track on grass-roots reaction to the BBL Twenty20 tournament. Is it the death knell for longer forms of cricket?

Plus we answer questions on the non-bowling arm and how to bowl to tail-enders.

Finally, the interview this week is about tactics in the new Last Man Stands format of the game. It’s a great way to get a game done in 2 hours after work. 

The show takes on a Presidential air this week as we hand it over to a full length interview with Ross Brooks.

Ross is the President of Watsonian CC in Edinburgh, our case study club. Like many clubs Watsonian face challenges both on and off the field and Ross is the guy who has to make things run as smoothly as possible.

We get an insight into how he does things this week, as well as find out how Watsonian are doing at the halfway stage in the season. 

The Boss is on the show again this week as we discuss the new Australian Big Bash League and how it might influence club cricket.

Plus former England International Roaslie Birch is on the phone talking about her work introducing young people to cricket with the Chance to Shine charity.

But this is a cricket coaching podcast, so we also answer your questions on how to bowl with a slingy bowling action like Malinga, and how to increase your pace as a spin bowler without losing revolutions on the ball.

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.
