Testimonial:
ASH DAVIS​ - Neston CC & Cheshire Minor county player.
                            ECB Cheshire Premier League Player of the Season 2018.

"I’ve been coached by Brad since around the age of 14 and his coaching has helped                massively over the years from taking me from more of a raw talent into a more reliable & consistent performer. It helps massively to have a mentor who, when things aren't quite going as planned, can give you those little pearls of wisdom to simplify a complicated sport. He has a  great ability to see little things that creep in over the years and make small adjustments which    have such an impact on performance. Thanks for all the years work and looking forward to          continuing our work together"

Testimonial:
WILL EVANS - 
Neston CC, Cheshire Minor County One Day Captain
                               ECB Cheshire Premiere League Player of the Season 2019.​​      
"Every session I am constantly challenged and continue to work on a range of skills and disciplines. Brads technical knowledge and leadership skills is second to non, this allows me to be mentally and physically prepared in all match situations." 


​Testimonial:
Noah Vickery - Chester Boughton Hall CC & Cheshire U16
​"I've been working with brad for 2 years now and my game has improved more than I could’ve imagined. With video analysis and specialist 1-1 help, Brad notices and helps things other coaches don’t. I’d recommend his coaching to every cricketer that wants to improve their game, his sessions are intense, fun and inclusive. I have never came away from one of brads sessions thinking I haven’t learnt something useful. I went with brad to India on both tours and they were both equally brilliant, cricket wise and non cricket wise it really is an experience I’ll never forget and the things I’ve learnt out in India have been crucial to my development and changed my game. I would recommend Brad to every cricketer there is and I’ll be attending his courses in the future without a doubt"

Lavinia Duchess of Norfolk XI v West Indies 12th May 1991  
A day to remember. Beating the West  Indies in the 1990's was not easy with the players they had. I was lucky to play in a side that did beat them and made a major contribution in picking up 3-40. My wickets included:
BRIAN LARA, GORDON GREENIDGE & PHIL SIMMONS 
just the 20,513 Test runs between them!

Brad Donelan Cricket Career Highlights:
Brad Donelan played First Class cricket for Sussex and Somerset CCC as an off spin bowler and batsmen. In his career he claimed 106 first class wickets including four 5 wicket hauls and one 10 wicket haul against Gloucester in 1991. His 1st First Class wicket was Ian Botham and he was also selected to play for the Lavinia Duchess of Norfolk XI in 1990 vs Pakistan and again in 1991 against the West Indies. He produced match figures of 3-40 off his ten overs. His wickets included Gordon Greenidge, Brian Lara and Phil Simmons. In 1990 playing for Sussex CCC 2nd XI vs Middlesex 2nd XI he produced the best figures of his career. Claiming 8-40 in the first innings and 7-102 in the second innings. 15 wickets in the match which was Sussex record. He also scored over a 1,000 first class runs at an average of 25. 
Brad is now heavily involved in coaching and runs three cricket academies in the Northwest of England, one on the Wirral and two in Chester one of which is a girls and women’s only academy. 
Brad has a very good coaching pedigree.
More Testimonials:
Simon Stokes - Neston CC 1st Team Captain.
"The best thing I can say about Brad’s coaching is I really wish I’d had the opportunity to work with him when I was a junior cricketer as I’d probably be twice the player I am now. The biggest thing he has taught me, having worked with him over the last 5/6 years, is to not be so limited in your approach and think outside the box. As a batter, take different guards against different types of bowlers, have a game plan, try and make the bowler bowl into your strength areas by how you set up. Brad will improve any aspect of your cricket, bat or ball and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

​​Anand Srivastara - ​Parent of two boys that attend my academy
"We have struck gold with Brad. Quite impressed with his well focused training sessions. His ability to focus on individual abilities of boys and nourish them to excellence is outstanding. Using perfect blend of experience, techniques and technology Brad brings best out of all. What has impressed me further is his focus on fitness and postures which has not only helped new comers but enhanced skills of existing players. Both my sons have excelled under his guidance and are becoming a well trained sports person. 
I recommend Pro Cricket Academies to all those who either professionally or out of passion want to excel in the game. Under Brad it the best place to go." 

Dil Yahathugoda - Chester Boughton Hall CC
My son Liam has been working with Brad over the past 3 years since the age of 8. He inspired Liam to do more than he thinks he can. He has a good understanding of Liam’s attitude, personality, response ability and sensitivity. Liam has developed as a good cricketer during this period and performing well in Cheshire county youth teams. The highlight of last year was that Liam was the leading run scorer across all age groups in Cheshire youth cricket scoring 724 runs. I would recommend Brad to young cricketers. Liam is continuing to work with Brad and enjoys his coaching very much.
