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, summarising the primary papers rather than reporting new data.
- Publication year is recorded elsewhere as 2024; the “-1” version suffix indicates it may be revised.
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.
Open action: retrieve via institutional access (NTU / Loughborough library) and replace the placeholder sections above with the real content.
