Customer Reviews

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.

All You Need To Know
This updated version of Bob Woolmer's classic DVD is as comprehensive a guide to cricket coaching as anyone could wish for. The sheer enthusiasm of Bob Woolmer allied to his great technical expertise shines throughout. Aided by practical examples from other top cricketers like Jonty Rhodes and Gary Kirsten, Woolmer demonstrates the key tecniques in correct batting, bowling and fielding with the insightfulness which only someone of his experience and coaching ability could provide. Like all good teachers, Bob Woolmer keeps things simple and explains the subtleties of cricket techniques with great clarity. It's a methodology which would help anyone who wants to develop a successful coaching strategy or improve their own cricketing skills. Thoroughly recommended as a visual 'coaching manual' par excellence.

not completely satisfied but would still recommend it
I would recommend this only for the batting part of it which is given in detail but not the bowling part of it as it is not given in detail and tips that are only suitable for a beginner.I still would recommend it for the batting part of the coaching video.
