Lower order batsmen can be more than an annoyance. They can cost you matches if you can't bowl them out.

It should be easy. These are the guys with the worst batting skill and the lowest average. Yet strangely some very good bowlers to top end players just don't have the knack of firing out the tail.

Imagine you are coaching a typical club side of young cricketers. Aged between 11-13 they are of varied ability.

You've done the coaching course and read the books. Now you have been asked (or perhaps persuaded) into to running a junior side for your cricket club.
