Today HisHim Amla Scorerd 253 (not out). What is special about the innings is that he had only 22 bounderies and not a single 6.b This sublime batting and a "how to" for our post-teen boys to learn from. I high school coach once told me "you cannot be out while at the bowlers end unless you are very unlucky". He always asked us to take singles and escape to the safety of the bowlers end. Onece you are there on the pitch for while bowlers and fielder tire and you see the ball better and that is when you can dominate. Our boys never learned the lesson.
