That “interviewer” is a joke. Begging a PR wuk while conducting an interview.
SMH
Not just that……Bascombe kept saying the batsmen need to upskill.
Fair enough.
Natural follow up questions weren’t asked:
What does upskilling actually mean?
What metrics determine an “unskilled” player? Have those been identified?
Do we have the player resources to upskill successfully in the various formats of the game?
Do we have the appropriate coaching to impart upskilling to our players?
Are you satisfied with the performance of the coaching staff?
Players are judged on performance or lack thereof.
What metrics are the coaching staff evaluated at?
There are so many more questions. This was about as soft an interview as one could get.
But to be honest, these guys aren’t journalists. They’re social media content creators. They simply after clicks and subscriptions. They masquerade as journalists. And the likes of Bascombe them only too happy to play ball to the likes of them.
