Cricket is not an usual and conventional type of sports and that is why it needs a different tactics to use. If it is domestic cricket, national level or international level, the basic theorem which you will apply is the same. You have to work for it, plan for it and execute them while playing.
When it comes to cricket, wise people say - its a different ball game. Of course, it is. To me even more while it is played, unlile golf, baseball and even soccer ball, they have own modes - but in cricket it has no limit by which you would show excellence. To be able to win, you need to bring on your tactics, show the difference when two sides are playing on and even winning is out of habit and a matter of time.
If you could look deeply into cricket, you would feel the evolution that has taken place over the centuries of time. Nowadays, players are more of prone to play aggressive shots, rather than the ability to turn them into the defensive stroke. Also the reason is for shorter version cricket has got a nice fanbase, an increasing popularity that could quite well fit in with the modern standards.
There are even other reasons if you could caste your mind into comparative analysis. But what is my today's point of view is that, each time who are playing international cricket, they must bear in mind that - we should be equally competent with the other teams and specially with the test playing nations.
Quite remarkably the test playing nations have got into the present shape, not because they are old teams, but the capacity to retain tje quality of play that is mostly important. Nobody wishes that you become a team who wins two or more matches at a row, but when time comes - when it is urgent for winning matches, you end up losing while you had the capability to win the game to a decent margin.
Now, some of the teams do employ coaching staffs with their capacities and the money is actually governed by the cricket regulating authorities.There are even high profile authorities and the money is shared among them as per standards. But what if you are skillful and just need a subtle nourishing from the coaches and a chance to practise on ?
You might be in a bad patch if you lack the minimal requirements but the abundant resources or highly trained staffs ?
That has been quite a sceanrio among some of the nations and other teams with this basic theory to apply that they got onto a nice rhythm too with this tactics. National cricket in the end wouldn’t be a nice development on progress, but the capacity to move with a rhythm, a bold approach to move forward and secure a decent position high in the ranking.
That's what progress is to you. But you need to find out what that is truly. Thanks for the time.
