But you are correct. If you go back to school days, you d probably remember the star sports players were not necessarily the best students. And those who excelled in both, doubt their parents would encourage/allow them to pursue sport.

And those talented individuals who do choose sport, often stop studying, and have no other parallel careers. Not unusual for cricketers from other countries to have other day jobs.

This "Lack of Intelligent" players could also explain why Sri Lanka is struggling. They ve pretty much lost the generation of sharp students of the game. The current lot are no comparison to the likes of Mahela, Sanga, De Silva etc.

What I dont understand is that where's the street smartness gone? you dont need to know E=MC(square) to play cricket
