Cricketlab – The Art and Science of Cricket Performance

Welcome to Cricketlab.

I’m Richard Pybus, I’ve coached Pakistan, Bangladesh, Middlesex and the Titans and Cape Cobras in South Africa and the goal of this site is to help you to play winning cricket.

It is achievable for all cricketers, all it takes is improved thinking and focus, good cricket skills, fitness and plenty of practice.

I have created Cricketlab as a cricket coaching performance center to help you achieve your cricket goals.

To help cricketers learn How To Play Cricket better and …. faster !

It is to help cricketers, cricket coaches, parents and strength and conditioning coaches about how to improve cricket performance.

Focusing on cricket coaching, cricket strategy, cricket tips and techniques, mental toughness and the cricket fitness aspects of the game.

To all the young and old cricketers out there, dream big goals, in life and cricket.

I have learnt on this cricket journey that it takes the same energy to set a big goal as it does to set a small goal … here’s Marianne Williamson’s quote that sums it up,

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? ”
