You are absolutely right Coach, the English have a saying of "Putting In the Hard Yards" meaning they practice, practice and practice. I can tell you with the hard proof Joe Root and Steve Smith practices on average 6 hours a day on batting, spin, pace, seam, wobble seam. When they are done it's then analysis on what they can do better. These players today don't want to put in those long tedious hours, they are lazy and have a mentality to slog every ball for 6 or 4, with good bowlers it ain't going to happen they have already worked them out. Hard work, back to basics is required, analysis and feed back, but you also need good coaches to help with remedial works. For the psychology players should read "The Inner Game Of Tennis" it's not a tennis book and is read by all top players and sides. Another book by Dr Rudi Webster "Think Like a Champion", become a student of the game, eat, drink, sleep, talk Cricket.
Now 1st class experience helps. You don't really fix you flaws you become more patient and your judgement is better. You are better aware of your limitations. Thats why Bonner Brooks Blackwood Chase and the skipper were able to compete with England. It was experience. Each player were not consistent but one stepped up in every match. That is because its a lottery once you are patient you will have one good match. So in England in 2020 every match a different player stepped up. It is what it is we have to reinclude the experienced players if only for that.
This is an absolute fact. But where we differ is this is their poor technique built on muscle memory over many years. From when they 1st picked up a bat and no one fixed their flaws immediately. The basics of getting close to the ball using footwork playing straight. Its not there and it might be to late for most of them. Test cricket test your ability by the lenght of time you are out on the pitch. If you have good technique you can scratch your way to 50. You can learn to survive. If you have a good forward defensive and know where your off is you can survive. From the forward defensive you can negate swing and turn. From the forward defensive you have the on and off drive you can sweep. These guys don't have those things you have to start those things at 5 yrs old.
look cricket is a simple game but it is difficult to master for example a batter cannot judge the pace of the pitch until a few balls hit the face of the bat
These guys make enough money to set asi a budget to allow them to get a good personal 😂coach at least when they not engaged in active cricket of some sort to work on strengthening what they know their individual weakness or weaknesses are be it temperance mental tough ess whatever the weakness is they shouldn't feel comfortable that they represent the west indies that they are the best in the region they need not get complacent and feel they have reached the pinnacle and that they make very decent money they need to take their game more seriously and admit to themselves that there is room for a lot more improvement they lack focus and maturity.
Totally agree, they think they have arrived but in reality they have not. It was a total embarrassment that recent tour to England, the worst in living memory and if we are going to talk about the players, we should address the coaches, poor, piss poor.
I don't know why we are all surprised when these guys go to the test level and struggle. The truth is no matter what level of cricket the are playing they struggle. I went to a couple senior cup games in Jamaica to see a current West Indies player bat and I was in shock! I could not believe that this player is a test player, as he look the worst batter on the team. All he was doing is trying to hit every ball to the boundary. In contrast, a few years back while Shiv was a star test batsman, he was playing in the same senior cup competition and he scored a century with only a couple boundaries. Our current players are simple not test quality. I did some research on all the current test teams and we have the worst batters statistically of all teams. For instance, we don't have a batter averaging over 40 in 1st class cricket while Sri Lanka has six players averaging over 40 in test alone
@@Ramas-360 Your analysis is spot on, these batsmen are brainless, they can't evaluate the game they don't value their wicket, but as I said before to many good bowlers around to allow these sloggers to hit them for 6 or 4. If you are playing a 4 day game or 5 day game any quality batsman will look at spending quality time in the middle building an innings, furthermore how many hours of practise do these guys put in? I witnessed Joe Root in this current test series against Sri Lanka arrive at the ground at 08:30am and put in a batting practise session, this is addition to the 6 hours he did the day before and Test match start at 11am look at his stats, the numbers don't lie he's dedicated to his craft.
