I know the problem is batting. But we can do so much better if the
captain understands the field placement. There are thousands of instances where proactive captains put pressure on the batting side and MANUFACTURES wickets where there is none. Without chances the only way you can get a wicket is if the batsmen make mistakes. Most likely the elite players do not make mistakes too often.
Following is a great video to watch. The captain is Pollard himself. This is a CPL match in the WI.

By the way, the bowler is a Bangladeshi and has a figure of
4-1-6-6. A reminder of what we are missing (captaincy). He wouldn't have those numbers if Mushi was the captain. And he or other can't/doesn't have those numbers since he/they play under Mushi.
