Q: The great man, Warren Saunders, gave me many great ideas in regard to captaincy, but the 2 mentioned below are ones that I never forgot and have passed these ideas onto other captains along the way.
1. At the start of a season, set your team a target for the number of wins that you need to have to achieve your goal of making the semi-finals or possibly the top 3-4 positions on the ladder. For the sake of argue, let's say 10 wins out of 15 games. In this way when you have a loss, it's not the end of the world, you simply need to refocus on the winning mentality to get back on the road that you have set out. I think this attitude helps sides not slide into self-doubt and lack of confidence. This also creates the mentality of always going for a win rather than having a fear of losing.
2. At the start of a season address all your players together. Explain your expectations for the season but particularly point out that you don't want to hear any whinging or complaints 2nd hand through someone's teammate, or parent or whoever. If you have a grievance, bring it directly to the captain as he is the only one who can fix it. If a complaint arrives 2nd hand it will be viewed very badly.
A: Great tips. I would also add a third one, which is a continuation of the 1st point. In addition to expected wins, it is also key to set goals and roles for individuals and let everyone know that.
If your goals is to score a total of 400 runs and a 50+ every 3 innings, the player can mentally prepare themselves during the season. Knowing others goals, will help teammates to encourage and provide the right support where required, again helping the team morale

Q: After many seasons of playing cricket in several countries and states, i paused for my young family. Coming back to cricket has been fantastic in may ways. I am searching for more from my pre season to improve results. I have a great mentor and former coach who asked if I was "cricket fit". He acknowledged fitness, but told me to train smarter and more specific to cricket. Any tips for batting longer in the middle? Fatigue has been a factor in several of my innings this season.
A: Peter, being cricket fit I guess refers both being mentally and physically fit. You need to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses and train accordingly to maximise the results while also enjoying the game.
Peter suggest a great way to train yourself physically and I would add to that by suggesting to use technology during your pre-season. Like Ludimos (sorry for the plug). By looking at yourself closely you will understand where you can improve and also track your improvement over a period, building confidence and trust in your abilities.

Q: As a parent I’ve followed my son in many games of senior this season.
One thing I noticed was how many batters get out on the last ball of the over and how many bowlers get hit for four on the last ball of the over.
I’d like to ask what players do or how a coach can help a player to make sure batters or bowlers don’t make mistakes on the last ball of the over
A: I would say you need to a) create awareness; b) practice; e) execute
What Jody said above is all about execution, but if players lack awareness, they will always get try something new to rattle the opponent and without practicing that you cannot execute it even if you have awareness.
so, in this era, you need to quantify things. If possible, count how many times a certain event happened. What's the consequence, did it lead to a collapse of batting team? did it release pressure that bowling team had built up?
During the next practice session, spend some time discussing these points, come up with a plan to practice those scenarios and then execute that in the next games.
