Guys like Miandad, Gayle, Sehwag, Malinga and Shakib are forces of nature who get away with unorthodox methods and technique because they are supremely and unusually gifted. Most guys are not and the combination orthodox methods and technique neither stifle nor hamper their "creativity" in any way. In fact, that combination helps them harness whatever creativity they have and creates the opportunity to apply and express themselves through consistent performance. Then again, as batters they have to sight the ball well before any of that can happen, and if they can sight ball, have the intelligence and the stomach to play the right high percentage shot according to match situation. Bowlers need desire more than anything else and ALL NEED TO WORK HARD ON THEIR OWN to become better. So no hope for talentless Rokibul or Nazimuddin (can't see), talented AAA (idiots and drama queens), or useful Aumi (can't stomach the pressure) and those types of players at the highest level of the game.
