i guess batsman are taken in bd team because they can hit flamboyant shots but taking 1s and 2s are very important and its also an art. putting pressure on some slower fielders if u can steal runs, it makes the fielding team uneasy. fielders tend to come closer and then if u get a loose ball, u can spear it thru them. see how the australian batsmen do these things. in the end this may add extra 30-40 runs to the total.
a coach cant teach this all on a sudden, this needs to be in the psyche of the batsmen . batsmen also need good understanding and depend on each others calling.
