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. 

Most people groan at the thought of a game of indoor cricket and regard it as a waste of time; the runt sibling of the traditional game.

Where is the fun in getting up early on cold Sunday mornings to dodge cricket balls bouncing off the walls of a humid leisure centre sports hall?

It’s not even a standard game, with regional rules and differing facilities.

It’s a far cry from warm summer days and the momentum of outdoor cricket. You may as well be a starving dog with a rubber bone.

Burners regales us with his stories of meeting former-India coach Gary Kirsten this week as we discuss the challenge of trying to coach players with greater talent that you.

Plus we find out exactly how Burner’s we omitted from the squad for the finals day of the ECB Club Twenty20 live on Sky TV.

We also cover your questions including the curious case the The Googly Syndrome and how to retain your confidence when you turn from medium pace to off spin (something the show wholeheartedly supports). 

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 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.

Scoring runs is at the very heart of winning cricket matches. How do the professionals do it?

PitchVision Academy and 3 times World Cup coach Ian Pont shares with you the secrets of how to score more runs aggressively while keeping the percentages in your favour.

You can put these tips into action right away:

1. Pick your bat up high with your hands

I keep an empty tin can in my cricket bag. I hate it but I keep it in there all the same.

Having that can makes me thrilled and terrified to be a death bowler; to find out why I need to tell you a story.

Two seasons ago I was my team’s reluctant death bowler. Frankly, I was poor. Despite leaking runs we didn’t have a good bowler to take my place. My team were stuck with me. I would stand at the top of my mark in the last few over dreading how my figures would look.
