Hi-Tech Decision Making in Cricket - A Benefit or a Necessary Evil? 2008-03-21 11:08:00 Hi-technology decision making is slowly being adopted by cricket, but is it good for the game? The best umpires are respected by players, but does hi-tech analysis help them or undermine their authority? They can have access to slow motion replays, but not the battery of analysis tools at the disposal of the TV commentator. Where do you stand in the debate? Video analysis of line decisions has been used by officials in tennis and rugby for years, but cricket has many more high-tech options that could be used, if they were allowed by the game's authorities. A delivery from a 150 kph fast bowler takes only one third of a second to reach the batsman. So, umpires must be highly skilled to judge the length and line of the ball, to make a correct lbw decision. Experience and ability are invaluab Read more:Cricket

The ability to set goals and effectively motivate yourself to achieve them are two essential cricket tips and skills that will help you achieve success in any cricket season or sport.

Giving yourself a target to aim for will help focus your mind and mentally prepare you for setting plans to achieve them.

Cricket Tips: Visualisation: The Key To Cricket Success? 2008-05-08 23:53:00 An excellent cricket tip I picked up is the power of visualisation. It is a skill which is often neglected by cricketers. For batsmen, bowlers and fielders at any level of the game it is an important skill that should be mastered. Visualisation or guided imagery is a very powerful technique that can help increase both your efficiency and effectiveness in achieving your cricket goals, whether it would be scoring one hundred runs, playing a perfect cover drive or taking that vital wicket or catch. “You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.” --Les Brown-- All top class athletes utilise visualisation to mentally rehearse what they have to do and how they are going to achieve it.
