Value of S & F
by Shyam Bhaskaran on Aug 05, 2005 12:49 PM

I truly agree to whatever Sri has observed in his column and one more thing that the Coach and the Captain should strongly tell the team members is the value of \\\"S & F\\\"!

What it means is \\\"Singles and Fielding\\\"! I think in the tournament so far we have not seen enough singles being taken by any of the topline batsmen excluding maybe Kaif or Dravid. Even nobody attempts to take a single and rotate the strike.. Players like Laxman, Ganguly, Sehwag and Yuvraj after having such a vast Internation Experience do not attempt to try to do the basics. On Subcontinent pitches the runs that you earn are the runs which will help you win. Also there was no sincere attempts to save the singles that were taken by SL players within the ring.. baring Suresh Raina and Kaif nobody was making an effort.. Players like Ganguly, Nehra, Laxman should not be kept within the ring and should be made to make more physical effort outisde the ring this will definetly help to boost their sagging vigour and may also improve their running between wickets!

Thanks
