Why Blackwood Should Change His Approach To Batting

Cricket Soccer

I like Blacks style actually !
all he needs is a guy like Kanhai or Lloyd to show him :
which ball to leave, which to defend, which to attack

Here's batting maestro ketchim assistance
Follow the Colours and you cannot go wrong !

Ketchim, that means you don't actually like his approach. If you think he needs better judgment in leaving and defending balls you are asking for him to change his methods

I like his "aggression" !
we have enough "Paints" : a Chanderpaul legacy in the squad
we need a Kanhai or a Viv style aggression : Blackwood fits that bill !
Shot selection IMO , needs reinforcing via one of our greats
preferably a right handed bats....

For example Viv can tell him : You see that Purple colour on the diagram above ??

LEAVE !! ...do not hang bat, do not follow, do not flash

I like his aggression too. But running down the wicket and getting stumped with one run needed for victory is recklessness. Swiping across the line isn't aggression either. It's bad batting.

In that case it's Mental
we need a sports psychologist for these chaps!
