Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2993485, member: 8988"] Its pretty obvious to me (and probably anyone else whose played) that there are way too many "flat track bullies" who know nothing of surviving for the long haul as batsmen. They're great at belting wayward bowlers, but any kind of diciplined seam bowling and they go to water in the contest. I don't actually blame them as it what they have been expected to do to earn a living. Why anyone thinks 4 day cricket is an unnecessary stepping stone to tests bewildered me. That's where you learn to vide your time and play the long game. Think of a player like kaditch who would have a strike rate in the 30s at the start of his innings and 100 or more at his century. We thrown away the development of those kind of players in the grab for cash, not realising success at test cricket feeds the desire for limited overs, not the reverse. The sport is living on borrowed time and may soon go the way of union. [/QUOTE]
