Hi Freddie, I am doing a peice of work for school on you and how you train. I was wondering if you could tell me how you train on a day to day basis and how long for please? Also I play club and district cricket and I am a wicket keeper batsmen and I struggle to play on my front foot but very strong on the back foot. I was wondering do you have any tips on what I could do to improve my batting on the front foot? Rikki
A.
Hi Rikki. During the winter months and during time off we mainly spend most of the time doing fitness work, however during the summer series we mainly do technical work or just normal net sessions.
It may help if before the bowler delivers, if you have a press forward on your front foot this will keep your weight going forward and hopefully help you play off the front foot.

Hi, Freddie. hope you are fine. How is your rehab going? What do you do when you are not playing cricket, do you have a business or profession?
A.
Hi. I don't really have much time away from the game; if I am not playing, then I am training. Any spare time I get, I try and spend with the family.

Hi Freddie, Im a 15 year old who plays club and district cricket. i have a problem with my ankle where there is a piece of bone that is growing over a gap which is restricting movement in my ankle. i have been told that it may cure itself as i grow more or i could have it removed. what would you sugest? thank you for your time
A.
Hi Mitch, I am sorry to hear about your ankle. Despite having problems with my ankle, I really am not in a position to suggest what you should do with the problem. I would recommend that you go and see an ankle specialist. I hope it gets better soon.

hi yaa freddie how r u. i wanted to ask you that what is an essential thing to become a great leg spinner. thx
A.
Hi. If you are a young leg spinner the key is not to be frightened of getting hit for runs, even if you bowl the odd bad ball eventually with age you will develop more consistency.
