Cricket Show 272: Competition Winner

Filed in:

This week's winner of the Cricket Show podcast question competition is Tim. He wins a free coaching course from PitchVision Academy.

The winning question was:

"I hear people saying it's tough to play test cricket. They say, you need very good skill set to play test cricket. I haven't played test cricket or first class cricket. But I've always felt that, with the field up, batsman with limited shots can excel in Test Cricket. You don't need a whole lot of shots. If you have a good defense and a few shots (cuts, cover drive etc.), you are a good Test batsman. Players like Prior excel in test cricket. But cannot score freely in ODI and T20 cricket. Because you need to have a lot of shots to be a good ODI or T20 batsman (AB De Villiers is a good example)."

"Coaches say - You need mental toughness to succeed in Test. They also say - Mentality plays a huge part in your success in tests. As I can excel in test with a few shots, if I want to be good First Class or Test batsman, should I hire a good psychologist before hiring a coach?"
