This is in regards to how Imran Khan have been bowling wide of crease (ball after ball) but in general it seems almost all the comments and advice TV commentators and experts have been giving...Pak management always fails to listen to it, or adopt it in a way to address any issues/weaknesses identified by experts, in helping the team?
How much would it take for someone from the coaching staff to just listen and jot down any such comments during the match e.g.
- Imran Khan bowling wide of the crease all the time and hence Warner/Others picking his length early
- Harris Sohail not batting deep enough in the crease to judge the ball outside off and not leaving it
- Tests are about being able to leave the balls, not about playing on every ball irrespective of how far it is from your reach
- Azhar Ali's field placing being way off while having pretty much no one on leg and then one of the batsmen on the very next ball (after one of the TV analysts pointed it out) took a ball from outside off and hit a boundary to the mid-wicket area
- Pakistan giving easy singles to Aussie batters because of bad field placements
- Pretty much no attention given to Warner's around the wicket weakness (by Broad etc.) and barely any of the bowlers tried to unsettle him with the new ball when he was not well set yet
This is just a sample but I think this is a free and accessible resource which does not need any expense to find out what we need to help the team players improve and become better at competing. Your thoughts?
