that means a reverse of the early 2000s. world class batsmen(lara, tiger, gayle, sarwan, dwayne bravo when he decided to be the batsman he was picked to be) and tino, colleymore(who was decent but slow after his back injury tbh), merv dillon, dave bernard etc. not a reversal of the last 30 years lol

My thoughts are who tf are these batsmen facing in the nets Sammy???

Logically if our bowling is so good shouldn’t it translate and help our batsmen get better by facing them, it would appear not!!!

The world class batsmen we produce take the t20 route

What I'm thinking is maybe it takes more effort,practice and whatever else to be a respected batsman.

Yep.... ..an batsmen have only 2 chances (in a test) an several modes of dismissal ....whilst bowlers have several opportunities of getting wickets within an over or spell.....with the majority of wickets coming thru batsman error!!!
