Cricket related fitness tests
Just wondering about good fitness tests related to cricket. When I played baseball we did tons of these to assess ourselves over a period of time, but never in cricket. It was always a good motivator for me so it would be good to find some related to cricket.
Baseball and cricket are pretty closely related, but baseball has a more power based emphasis than cricket, and as such almost all of our tests related to things like vertical jumps, grip strength, sitting basketball chest pass distance, 50/100 metre sprint times, various agility tests, plus baseball related ones such as time to run the diamond and so forth.
What ones are used commonly for cricket? I'd like to take readings during the off season, start of the season, mid season and end of season (with averages) to see the differences.
