“I would still like to see a greater effort to eliminate dot balls during middle overs and greater value placed on scoring twos either by more aggressive running between the wickets or better placement or both”.


An accurate observation as too many batsmen only used first gear or top gear. They would either block with a dead bat or go hard at the ball looking to hit a four or a six.

When in first gear there would be no attempt to pick up singles and rotate the strike. So they would dig themselves into a hole.

Then they would get bogged down become frustrated and swing at everything in an attempt to get out of the hole they'd dug.

It's nice to see the selectors identifying areas that need to be worked on. Let's hope the players will try to improve.

Just noticed this post

Curious: Is English grammar no longer taught in Caribbean as it was way back in the 20th century in my time?
