It wasn't that I meant, but that will also have an influence.

I was referring to the general practice of 'Golden Hour', which I witnessed during my time with the team. General poor batting in the nets and an unchecked incorrect shot selection.

The bowling equivalent is allowing long hops and full tosses to be bowled without saying anything or at least trying to make that better.

I sincerely hope the Golden Hour has been confined to the bin....
