Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[Amers]

Just slightly off topic, but I watched the Cricket Show yesterday and was amazed. Ian Healy had a junior teenage cricket player practice some wicket keeping, while Healy hit cricket balls at him. The way he instructed the junior with catching skills was great to watch. Teaching the junior how to move his feet and what side of the body to take the ball depending on where the stumps were placed. His instructions were very precise and attention to detail. He spoke clearly and explained exactly why skills are practiced in a certain way. He would make an excellent keeping coach. Even if Slater had a spin on fielding with some advice himself, Ian would explain a more preferred technique and why it is a better drill. He is a clever man and was a great cricket player. Especially as a keeper with batting ability to add.

Yeah, enjoyed watching that....
