Research theme
A commissioned reference-work overview of cricket biomechanics as a field, written for the Routledge sport-studies reference collection. Entries of this type are tertiary literature: they summarise the established state of a field for students and non-specialists rather than reporting new data. Given the author line-up — Felton (fast bowling performance and injury), McErlain-Naylor (batting and power hitting), Girginov (sport studies) — the entry almost certainly spans bowling, batting and fielding, and is the closest thing in Felton’s output to a single-document map of the field.
What they measured
Nothing. This is a review/reference entry, not a study.
Findings
Not recovered — the entry is paywalled. No findings are asserted here.
What a coach should look for on video
No direct coaching cue. Every cue this entry would contain is, by the nature of a reference entry, drawn from the primary studies catalogued elsewhere in this folder tree. A coach loses nothing by skipping it.
Its practical value is different: if you ever need one citable source for “what cricket biomechanics knows”, this is it. For that purpose, and if you have institutional access, it is worth retrieving.
Caveats and limits
- Full text not accessible; content above is inference from the title, venue, and author expertise.
- Tertiary source. For any specific claim, cite the primary paper, not the encyclopedia entry.
- Publication year is recorded elsewhere as 2024; the “-1” version suffix indicates it may be revised, so check for a later version before citing.
Relationship to other Felton work
Expected to synthesise, not extend, the primary work catalogued in folders 01–05. It is the only item in the corpus co-authored with Girginov, which places it in the sport-studies rather than the sports-science publication stream.
