LBW: What you are saying is absolutely right.. I was pointing out that we need to invest more into our age groups and junior level cricket so that these 'Basic' flaws can be corrected before a player comes to national team. That was the point I am making.. Coach like Cambell, Pont, De Winter, Mccinnes and now Turner are the keys for our success, we need more of them to ensure that when the national coach comes on board, they dont have to work too much on the 'basic' technique like Siddons had to do. Watmore was brilliant enough that he brought in Owen Matao to help the senior batters which helped Bashar, Pilot, Javed etc. to a certain extent but he too complained that the batters need to really understand some basic stuff... I think unless we build the right batting foundation ( knowning where the offstump is) in our young players, we will not see a Dravid, Strauss, Amla or even Gambhir in our squad soon..
