Other batsmen also try being cheeky to get a SINGLE at the most. WHY? Have you ever seen Paul Colligwood bat? Not an immensly talented batsman. Doesnt have all the shots in the book of a batsmen. But plays to his limitations and oh my plays INDEED very well. Pietersen have been doing the basics right so often and now he is so confident that he can go for outrageous shots. Let us do the basics right. Whether you are 17 or 37 the basics will remain.

Whether you are 17 or 37 basic remains the same, but not the blood. When you are 17 your blood tends to be more hot while at 30 it not that hot. With age mental maturity comes and the player understands the playing condition well. So age is important. That's why we see Australia doesn't gamble these days by putting too young players on the track.
