What kind of fielding drills or scenarios should I be coaching my under 10 and under 12 teams to give them the best chance to be excellent fielders as they develop?

[biased indian]

ha ha only one question got No comment as answer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mister Wright]

Wow! Awesome stuff James. Really good of him to answer all the questions.

 

[James]

Yeah definitely, he's a real top bloke in my dealings with him via email.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Not surprised he didn't answer some questions. What coach is going to single out the 'worst player they have coached' for example. That's a recipe for getting a bad reputation.

Interesting answers otherwise. Very good of him to deign to answer so many questions.

 

[Craig]

Fantastic work James in setting up the interview with a highly credentialed coach in Julien, and Julien being so sporting and answering so many different questions.

 

[James]

Definately - make sure you check his website out guys

 

[James]

Looks like he could be coaching India fairly soon.

Very interesting that he seemed to imply quite a few times in his answers about him not getting the proper backing of the boards. I just hope he gets a better response from the Indian board, as unlikely as it seems...

 

[Jonty Lathwal]

Minnow Countries like Zimbabwe ,Bangladesh and Ireland are becoming good fielding sides now.What is the basic reason you see behind this?

 

[Richard]

Bit late, son, sadly.

 

[funnygirl]

Good work .He is going to be India's fielding coach .

 

[NUFAN]

Very good read.

I found the whole fielding statistics thing very interesting.

I reckon they should have adopted it in Twenty20 since the concept has only just started. When Jonty Rhodes was playing the South Africans would often have how many runs a player had saved, it would be an interesting addition to cricket.

I think Robin Singh is not so bad........
