Some tips to sourav
by abboral boral on Dec 26, 2007 08:41 PM

Sourav is a good batsman and an utility bowler as well.I am giving him some small tips as being a player once myself played in Kolkata lieuge .
1. He should stand 1 ft distance from poping crease against fast bowler ,chest towards mid on
2. he should stand straight and farm but fexible to move any direction .In this way he can easily play the ball coming towards his leg stamp which generally most of the bowlers attack him due to his vernability on leg stamp.
3. Initially before starting his inings , He should generally asume the ball is coming to his leg stamp always paeticularly against Brett Lee .As a result his movement towards off stamp will be restricted initially to avoid any snick out side the off stamp
4.Though he is a classic offside player but with the above he can develop as a good leg side player also
5. He should hold the bat with the right hand little bit upside but not to touch the bottom side .as a result panching from the bat will be very effective .At present top of the handle is seen more ,so it should be less
6. The above tips is purely for Sourav only but not for any critics though I apologise for writing such coments about Sourav
