Can they be coached into a Ben Stokes, Jadeja, Pandya type of talent?

What will it take?

You ridicule our players by calling them bits and pieces while exalting players like Jadeja and Pandya.

How many international matches do the 3 you mentioned have compared to our players?

Those players who worship aren’t any more talented than our players. They just operate in superior environments. And that’s not necessarily coaching.

I didn’t mean it in that context
If you remember, Jadeja was called a bits and pieces and it motivated him.

Our players are more talented and again I ask the question of what would make them more consistent performers.


Not necessarily coaching?

What if we have a Gary Sobers academy just for our multitalented players. Give them a fitness and nutrition specialist along with their own academy coach.

I hope ‘multitalented’ is not a trigger word.

Over the years cricket has evolved where wicket keepers have to also be solid batsmen. Better teams are noticing and investing in genuine all rounders.

Over the months our wicket keeper has evolved into captain and off spinner extraordinaire. razz

He has potential-to be miles better than he currently performs.
A proper coach can get him there.

What’s wrong with that?

You think he ‘arrived’ and is beyond coaching?

Let’s go with your term ‘mediocre’
Yes he’s currently mediocre to what he potentially has to offer.

NOBODY said what you said..

and EVERYBODY knows that ALL SPORTS PERSONS NEED A COACH.

but you in the CONTEXT in which you said it just was off key baaaaaaaaaaaaad.

You think he ignores the coaches and the manager alllll this time?

have you not seen the APPLICATION of working things out???

He is no longer doing LEAD -Foot outside the offstump...and he is consistently shifting the leg to pick his spots...wuh...I see that change from a few weeks ago into this current run of form...

I believe everybody sees it..which translates to.. GOOD COACHING and most importantly...HIM listening and being coachable ...ent?

so to wrap up...a quip bout de lad and the others need coaching implies that they currently running bout wild and doing their own thing.

that Raskil is what I find off key about your premise

You call the man a liar for one player????????

If you look at the date that thread was started you’d notice it was during the time he was looking vulnerable high on the off moving away.

Obviously someone is working with him on that.

Put "bits and pieces" in quotes. Which translates to our potential all-rounders.
