No, there isnt a double meaning in the title. What with the entire furore around Pakistan and ball tampering, you might have forgotten that Bob Woolmer is one of the worlds most respected coaches.

His theories are laid out in Cricket - The Bob Woolmer Way.

Like the Martin Crowe batting DVD, its a fairly straight up coaching video made around the time Bob was coaching the South African side.

You may know that this means the content is quite a few years old. Does it detract from the tips that Bob gives?

Not most of the time, but the fitness section is a little weak as a few theories have moved on. Also, I couldnt watch the section on captaincy with Hansie Cronje purely because of what happened a few years later.

On the plus side the coaching tips, especially for batting and fielding, still effortlessly combine traditional ideas with innovative methods.

If you are either a new player looking for basic advice or a coach looking for ideas this DVD is ideal.

Is there anything in it for the experienced club player? Here are some highlights:

• Practice grooving back foot shots by getting someone to feed balls underarm from the pitch point rather than over arm and trying to bounce it.
• In nets, get players to write their name on a list as they arrive creating an instant undisputable batting order.
• If you have a spare net, give the keeper practice.
• When planning an innings, work out the areas you are looking to score first off and set run targets as a partnership rather than individually.
• Keepers can groove their one handed catches by holding out their arm to one side and getting the ball fed to that side. They can the move to one handed dives.
• Batsmen can improve their usefulness by learning to bowl off spin.

If you want to get yourself a copy, head on over to Amazon. But there isn't any advice on ball tampering or forfeiting Test matches. Probably for the best.
