NEW DELHI: When you see Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting doing a few fielding drills during a practice session, it doesn’t seem like he retired a decade earlier. Ponting means business at all times when he is with his team.
” I don’t think it’s the only way to play T20 cricket. In an ideal world, if you can play that way well and successfully then you are not going to lose too many games. It’s not that England have won every game they have played and set world records in terms of the scores they have put up. You have to find a style of play that suits a group of players. That’s what the art of coaching is. Whatever group of players that you have got, you have to maximise their talent. You can do that with their skills or you could do that with their attitude” he said on bazzball cricket.
“It’s an attitude thing. You have to empower your players to play that way through good and bad times. If you look at England, they have done exactly that. Brendon McCullum, since he became the Test coach, said this is the group of players he wants and will back them to play a certain way. He doesn’t care if they get out early” he added.
