Hello everyone,
I am the juniormost member of the club....so please just take this as a suggestion........
I believe that all of are pretty down with our performances, individually and as well as a team..... but I believe that to get out of this situation we have to stop thinking what we did last season and concentrate on this season....
I have had a talk with a couple of our senior about our losses in the first couple games and all I got was that we were in the same situation last year and we went all the way to the finals....... I believe the competetion this year is more stiffer than it was last year....so lets just forget about the past and get back to winning ways........
I have a few suggestions for the practice sessions for everyone.....
The batsmen should take practice seriously and should try to be at the crease for as long as possible without getting out....... I have seen people getting out in the practice session as much as 10 times in 15 mins session......... Once you get your eye set on you can automatically play the shots.......
Last thursday while practicing Kuldeep bhai and Kishan were having a good bowling competetion on taking wickets, they were having a track of all the wickets they were getting in the nets.....thats a good way to practice bowling and keep yourself motivated in the nets.........
While feilding I believe all the hard work should come in practice sessions and only then we would be able to do well in the matches.........
I believe that It would be a good idea to have a Batting Captain, Bowling Captain and a feilding captain for the practice sessions........... The feilding captain would take care that the individual has done all the feilding drills and catching sessions before he moves on to Bowling and Batting........
The batting captain should make sure that the batsmen are able to preserve their wickets till they are asked to hit out..........
The bowling captain should make sure that all the bowlers in the bowl atleast 18 good deliveries in a row before trying different things...........
I think you all would think that practice sessions are a place to learn new shots and bowling variations....but I don't thing that we should try new things before we get our basics right.........and all we are misssings as of now is our basics......... we all are damn good players its just a matter of getting the basics right and we would be back to winning ways........
please don't take it personally........it just my opinion........
cheers
Gaurav......

| You are right that we are living in the past. it does not matter what you did last year. this year you will not be playing any second division teams. We all need to concentrate on our own games. every player has to make an effort that what he was doing wrong in the match and try to work on it. Practice is to get back in the rythem and all the routines of the game. One thing for bowlers is the extras we gave in the matches. So many wides..... In practice you need to concentrate on your line and length. On these concrete wickets we do not have pace to beat anyone in 1st division. Idea is to put the ball in the right channel and frustrate the batsman to make mistake. In batting, just need to concentrate on keeping an eye on the ball till you se the ball hit your bat. Too many of us play the shot before seeing the ball. It is all within us to talk to ourselves and say that I will play the ball on it's merrit. Onther thing is placing the ball and rotating the strike in the game. Too many time s we bogged down and then play a bad shot to give the wicket. Running between the wicket is very poor on our side. On fielding, we have dropped too many chances in the games and again we do the same mistake of not keeping our eyes on the ball. Each one of us have to look within ourselves and try to work on our faults. If we play to our potential, we can beat any team but at the present we are not playing at even 50% of our potential. Let's do better and start winning ways. good luck. |
