James has worked at academy level but is currently first team analyst at Northamptonshire County Cricket Club. James talks about the types of things cricket analysts focus on, how much opposition analysis is done, and gives some great advice. James also has an interest in rugby too, and he actually is a qualified referee. This then leads us on to the importance of transferrable skills between different sports.
