I'll say something you didn't expect

But I'll put in proper context

The Aussies and all other teams are most fearful of a WI team firing on all cylinders. And I am referring here to the six hitting prowess.

In response to, "this was a boring final"

My issue with our current is the unidimensional mode of T20Is - one size fits cowlashing

Define cowlashing. Explain why and how Maxwell is not a cowlasher. cool

Maxwell is a cowlasher and there is still a role for cowlashing in T20 cricket but this WCup showed that a team of only cowlashers is unlikely to get very far.

So……….Chase is a cow lasher now?

And seeing that this is a lot of the same lineup that won the last 2 T20 World Cups, barring Samuels…..but Chase was brought in to play that role……how did the so called cowlashers win back to back T20 world cups?

Something is wrong with the way our batsman are taught.
We are good hitting off the backfoot, but get stuck on the crease numerous times, wanting to not get out to pitch up deliveries.
Coaches don't seem to use Pylons during practice, where batsman can work on hitting the balls between then, by getting to the pitch of the delivery or off the backfoot.
BCL did it so effortless.
There need to be practice surfaces for different condition.
The professionals, and they are more than 100 paid monthly in the region, should look at cricket as a full time job, and work on becoming better.
Why are you getting out the same way?

Chase is a product of the coaching system in the region
