The Mind Games Behind Cricket-why strategy is Everything?

The Mind Games Behind Cricket - Why Strategy Is Everything? You may think cricket's all about bashing the ball or bowling quickly, but there's actually a massive mind game at play in the background. Each and every ball is an opportunity to outwit your rival. Consider the captain. They're both the coach and tactician of the team, deciding with seconds to go to make or break the match. Do we bowl first or bat? Who do we set loose to bowl right now? Where do we put the fielders to prevent runs or take wickets? These are like moves in a game of chess on the pitch. And it's not all gut instinct. Teams now work with hundreds of data and technology. They examine players vulnerabilities, learn how the pitch will act, and watch video replays of past games.

Even batsmen and bowlers are thinking ahead all the time.  which shot to play, whether t...

Then there’s the 50-over One Day Internationals, perfect for chill afternoons. And finally, the T20s  fast, flashy, and perfect for thos...
