The challenge with any wicket-keeping drill is to make it relevant, functional and challenging.

Last week, we were doing a standing back drill using the Katchet board. I was throwing the ball onto the board as hard as I could to challenge the two keepers. The keepers are both County Age Group players and in one of the cases, an England International.

It soon became apparent that both were not being challenge sufficiently by the drill and that my shoulder was getting warmer and warmer. We needed to solve a problem.

That solution was the Sidearm. Since a recent Sam Lavery article on coaching kit, I have noticed more players have purchased Sidearms. It's great to see sessions where players are practising batting in pairs against the sidearm. It’s a brilliant piece of kit.

What's the difference between a Coach, a Director of Cricket and a Director of Coaching? In the show, David Hinchliffe, Mark Garaway and Sam Lavery discuss the topic from school to international level.

Plus, there are a couple of listener's questions answered - and a prize won - by the team. The first asks about the best way to lift up your bat, and the second is a query about bowling around the wicket. As always, it's Gara's that takes it to the next level with some more #garasgold
