Testimonials

Todd Murphy
Australian Off-Spinner

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Craig for around 8 years now. His passion, guidance and knowledge of spin bowling is second to none!

He has been one of the biggest influences in my career to date, helping shape the player I am currently, While mentoring me to be the player I desire to be in future.

Any young cricketer out there who wants to develop their game and in particular spin craft, Howie is your man.

Chris Rogers

Victorian Men's Head Coach

Craig Howard understands spin bowling as well as anyone I’ve come across in the game in my opinion.

His ability to read the craft, break it down, and communicate it in a way that gets results is remarkable and what makes him such an excellent coach.

I’ve seen the impact he’s had on so many bowlers — from grassroots players finding their feet to internationals competing on the world stage. His influence is lasting, and any spinner who has the chance to work with him will come away a better bowler.

Rehaan Shyamsundar
Leg-Spinner - NSW Pathways

I’ve been working with Howie as my spin mentor for the past three years, mostly online with a few in-person sessions when we’ve been in the same place.

In that time, he’s completely changed the way I think about and bowl leg spin. It’s not just the technical stuff, although he’s helped me get more turn, control, and variations, it’s the way he explains the mental and tactical side that’s made the biggest difference.

I’ve gone from feeling unsure in games to stepping out there with a clear plan and the confidence to back myself. I honestly wouldn’t be the bowler I am today without his guidance.
