The mental side of the game.

This is where great batsmen excel. It not only technical ability but that ability to fight it out when the going is tough.

Justin Greaves (lacking technical competence against spin) just gave his wicket away rather meekly and foolishly..

Shai Hope although he was clearly hurt was happy to give it up. Trying telling this to Gordon Greenidge and Shiv to give up their wickets after this level of injury. The lion hearted attribute is essential for an international batsman.

Fight, fight for your team.
