Hi Simon, could you be a bit more specific? What aspects are you wanting to coach your players?

Depending on what you are going to be coaching later in your session I would recommend coaching a drill which is related to that particular skill or area

A good point of reference could be the session of the week on the Cricket homepage. In this week's session we've used a running drill to warm the players up and get them thinking about the skill being worked on - running between the wickets.

Hope this helps.
