What players say about Toby Radford....
England's 2009 Ashes Winning Captain Andrew Strauss
England Captain Andrew Strauss recalls to the Daily Express how indoor net sessions with Toby Radford helped to rebuild his confidence and technique after being left out of the England team for the 2007 tour of Sri Lanka.
Andrew Strauss says "Toby is fantastic. Really accommodating. And it did help me when I went to New Zealand later that winter. He knows the game inside out. He is very passionate and is a good guy to throw ideas off.
When you get to my age, it is more about what you feel is right, and having someone there as a sounding board, and he was very good to work with."
Isa Guha, England Women's opening bowler and World Cup winner
"Toby has been extremely influential in terms of my cricketing ability and I still look to him for advice. He is the best coach I have worked with from a technical perspective and always finds a way to help me optimize my performance."
Steve Finn, England Lions and Middlesex CCC opening bowler
"Having worked with Toby since I was 13 years of age I have been able to relate to him on a professional and personal basis. His astute technical understanding of the game has allowed me to call on him regularly throughout my early career and build a strong base on which I can rely now. Without this help, I would not understand my game as I do now."
