My son is a 15 year old wicket keeper and when he has questions we jump on youtube and look at wicket keeping videos. One thing we noticed is Australian wicket keepers like Gilchrist and Haddin keep the feet close together in their stance but English wicket keepers have a really wide stances. Why is that and which is the better stance for keepers?

A comment more so than a question. We always talk about the importance of batters batting in partnerships and supporting their team mate at the other end.

A comment more so than a question. We always talk about the importance of batters batting in partnerships and supporting their team mate at the other end.
A classic case just occurred in the 2nd test Australia v South Africa. Mitchell Starc last ball of the 17th over and Sarel Erwee is into his batting position with Starc steaming in.
Just as he was about to bowl the ball Theunis de Bruyn at the non strikers end has become very lazy and starts to walk out of his crease before Starc bowls the ball.
Starc quite rightly runs through the crease and gives de Bruyn a warning for backing up too far. It was ridiculously to far and causes an unnecessary break in play.
Sarel Erwee then has to take strike again as Starc runs in for the last ball of his over and is unfortunately trapped LBW and dismissed for 21.
Poor batting by de Bruyn in letting his team mate down and to compound the issue de Bruyn is out 3 overs later.
One wicket brings two.

Greenock Cricket Club in Scotland is seeking a fast bowler or a top order batter who can bowl a few overs for their first division cricket team. Some might say the level of cricket is equivalent to 2nd or 3rd grade premier cricket in Australia.

The club is prepared to offer airfares, accommodation and 120 Euros a week and the player will be expected to help out coaching the younger players in the club and community. It’s a great club with great people.

A scenario – the first over of an innings and the captain has set two slips, a gully, point, cover, mid off, mid on, mid wicket and a fine leg.

A scenario – the first over of an innings and the captain has set two slips, a gully, point, cover, mid off, mid on, mid wicket and a fine leg.
The bowlers first two balls are outswingers and the batter plays and misses both. Should the captain contemplate a field change and what would you suggest?
