Perfect for coaches and new players
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.

This DVD is 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. While some of it is a little dated, in the main the coaching tips still effortlessly combine traditional ideas with innovative methods: Something we have come to expect from Bob Woolmer's style of coaching.

I'm a coach myself and plan to use his techniques next summer when coaching youngsters.

There isn't any advice on ball tampering or forfeiting Test matches, which is probably for the best.
