Duncan Fletcher, England Head Coach, will reveal his philosophy for identifying and developing success when he addresses Cricket Live 2001 - the England & Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) World Cricket Coaches Conference and Exhibition - which opens at the Telford International Centre today.
Fletcher will be just one of many world-renowned cricket coaches and ex-players brought together for this special two-day coach-education event. South Africa's Barry Richards will lecture on batting, whilst India's Bishen Bedi and Australia's Terry Jenner will teach the art of bowling spin. Former Australian wicket-keeper Ian Healy will deliver a master class on expertise behind the stumps.
Cricket Live 2001 aims to build on the success of its inaugural event in 1999 when over 2000 coaches from 32 countries were entertained and educated by the some of the world's best coaches. It was the largest cricket coach-education event ever staged.
Mushtaq Mohammed, Graham Gooch, Rod Marsh, Mike Gatting, Frank Dick and Olympic Gold medallist Adrian Moorhouse will also take part in a series of workshop sessions dealing with a multitude of coaching issues from 'mental preparation' to 'opening the batting.'
Hugh Morris, ECB Performance Director, commented: "Coaching clearly plays a vital role in the development of cricket and Cricket Live 2001 will make a huge impact on our coaching community. The event promises to act as a further impetus in the ECB's mission to create the best coach-education structure in the world, and in our aim to develop the English coaches of the future.
"Cricket coaches will rarely get a better chance to learn from and consult such an array of cricket coaching talent."
