    • Harsha Bhogle Tags : cricket, india Posted: Friday , Dec 05, 2008 at 0027 hrs

    The climate is right at the moment, India has a fairly young side that if nurtured could dominate world cricket. A second skill must be mandatory and the NCA can become a pivotal resource in ensuring that. This is a wonderful phase and it comes rarely. This is the time to be innovative, to arm our talent better.

    Secondary SkillsBy: Dan | 06-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Good point, Harsha. Especially with regard to bowlers learning to bat. Tail-end scoring is an unglamarous aspect of Australia's success that has often been overlooked, but has often been decisive. I believe it was Steve Waugh who instituted a program whereby each bowler in the team would be mentored in batting technique by a top-order batsman. Gillespie is the classic example of a bowler who sweated to develop a strong defence that would enable him to stick around for long periods while a batsman at the other end accrued the runs. Australia has been as guilty as other teams in picking bits-and-pieces players in an attempt to unearth a good all-rounder. But the willingness of players like Gillespie and Lee, and even McGrath, to work hard to improve their batting has reaped handsome rewards. An average of 15-20 goes unnoticed but, coming from a no.10, it can be vital.
