It means controlled aggression. I have seen that many a times a BD player will get a boundary and, then go for another ridiculous shot and get out. Ash's 2nd inning dismissal is a textbook example. RM also talks about honest appraisal of your own abilities. I think none of the BD batsman has the intellectual prowess to judge it accurately. Either they are too young to contemplate or being continously brainwashed as to how 'talented' they are. We need a coach who can hammer home some senses to these boys.
