Ripping the manual

started by muchocricket 3 mnths ago

The teams have been practicing differently for this tournament. A batsman, not known for his big hitting, revealed the special practice drills. The coach made him hit everything across the line for thirty minutes and it was a huge mental challenge for someone who spent his entire cricketing life trying to ping the V. "I had to forget everything I had learnt. It was a huge mental adjustment and a nice little challenge. The aim was to unlearn stuff."

improvesation at it's best? by this i mean, Is cricket turning itself into baseball with the slam-bang approach adopted by the twenty20 batsmen, at this rate leaving the ball alone will be a forgotten art in no time.

Just the other day, there was a talk about how many runs are being scored behind the wicket nowadays...an area that the fielding side used to forget about in the earlier days. Yep there is a change in attitude going on....

finally they will have the missing 1st man, 2nd man to justify the 3rd man position.
