Are there any other sports apart from indoor cricket that can help with cricketing skills? I play tennis so I was wondering if they came together some how |

| Tennis wouldn't hurt your hand-eye co-ordination anyway |

| I am a goalkeeper in football, and i find this helps your reactions and diving to take catches/stopping the ball. This is why i am a slipper |

| As clobber already mentioned, Tennis is good for your hand-eye co-ordination. You can play badminton for the same reason... and table tennis. |

I also play hockey, it helps with speed, hand eye co-ordination, balance and strength (in the arms legs). Johnty Rhodes also played hockey and was a goalkeeper in football. ------------- I took 5-14 in 1 match last season, turned out 2 be the best bowling figures for 1 match in our entire league :D |

Are you talking about street hockey, field hockey, ice hockey, or floor hockey. It doesn't really matter, does it? Because they're all for the same purpose. |

| Blooming heck five month gap in between posts. That's impressive. I play a bit of badminton and to be honest think the only way it helps is my fitness levels. I suppose hand eye co ordination as well perhaps? |

Great for feet movement aswell.
Swimming is good for upper body strength, crucial for bowlers. |

field hockey, i think jonty actually had a few games with the full sa hockey team! and i think it does matter becuase if your using roller blades or ice skates, the balance is alot different to standing still at the crease! ------------- boo ha ha! |

Well I play badminton and it has 2 effects 1. I time the ball better and my reactions are much faster. 2. I am a more a wristy player when batting though because of the heavy emphasis on your wrists in badminton.
