@ cricfan4ever.

Sorry it took me a short while to dig this out.

This a copy of my plan to improve our batting, that I sent to PCB about a year ago.


Major surgery is not the answer unless its a brain implant​

Our instinctive response after every failure is,, sack this player, sack that player... sack PCB chairman, sack selectors, shuffle batting order, remove the captain etc etc and I was one of the advocates of this theory.... BUT ... after watching Pak U19 final last nite I am convinced that we need to change our batting approach towards the game..... replacing or shuffling is not the answer... we are all the same level of mental strength

The math is pretty simple, when you are under pressure (say top order is diminished with in 20 runs), you do NOT respond by blocking every freaking delivery and wait for a bad ball to hit a boundary but you MUST respond with singles and doubles.... this requires ability and skill that we seriously lack ... and here is the plan ...

During your practice sessions, you keep 6 fielders inside the circle and make every batsman face 100 deliveries.... Put two batsmen to bat against a mix of fast and spin bowling. If the batsman hits a four or a six in his first 50 runs, these boundary runs should be DEDUCTED from his total score.... so whoever scores the highest runs in 100 balls faced becomes the most successful batsman and will increase his chances of getting into the national squad .... this practice session should be held at least once or preferably twice in a day for every specialist batsman on a non-stop continuous basis.... the emphasis should be on developing the skill of hitting into the gaps and steal singles and doubles and improve running between the wickets .... FORGET ABOUT BOUNDARIES at this point ... once a batsman gets the confidence of creating frustration among the opposition fielders and bowlers and scores a fifty odd runs mostly in singles, doubles and tripples, hitting boundaries becomes a piece of cake for him.

The fielders will also be put to test to be agile and stop the singles and doubles. Good fielders should also get credit.
We will need to generate a database and keep track of all the batsmen for analysis. Good batsmen should be picked and trained how to respond in pressure.

This is one of ways we could get out of this mentality of waiting for the bad ball to hit a four or six and keep on blocking until that comes... which hardly comes and we simply create more and more pressure on ourselves and rest of the batting line .....

Again,,, we have to change the batting culture both on senior and junior level cricket otherwise we will never be consistent performers.

if pakistan can score 400 runs, they can be in a good position to win this test.

We havn't reached 250 yet let alone 400, if we bat for the next 2 days they will definitely get to 400 providing they do not lose wickets...
 
4 more. Trail by 87 now. Just need to bowl NZ out for 99. :asif
 
If Asad Don Shafiq makes 100 , i will put his picture in my avatar :27:
 
Remember both :gul and :wahab are NZ's bogey batsmen.

Oh noez, Guptil on!! Wickets gonna fall. :butt :farhat

tldr please
 
Is this a ploy to draw batsmen out of 'concentration zone' TM?

:raja
 
This just in

Tanvir Ahmed averages 30 in test (in that one innings he batted :D)
and 20 in first class with 13 fifties!

This lad can bat. Our whole tail can bat :D
 
Vettori playing mind games, he know what Guptill did last year
 
Guppys best 3/37 v Pakistan! not surprised at that!

I admire your courage, but it won't affect PCB as they are corrupt and only care about money!

Brilliant post bro! I agree 1000% with it!

:14:
 
Obviously, the NZ commentators won't say its four in a million years.
 
It's not four though. Good fielding.

The hand that rocks the ball. :raja
