Tamim and Siddons is the perfect example how to ruin a talent with overcoaching. I don't think Tamim has made any significant match winning performance since he 'shifted gears' save but - I think! -Zimbabwe matches or something. On the other hand, in his heydeys when he was still very RAW he made blistering fiery start EVEN at Lord's and later the team capitalized on his foundation. (Mustafizur is another one who lost his natural touch by too many chiefs in the wigwam.)
Heh. He has shifted gears so much that let alone the car move, the dilapidated jalopy has collpased. Bangladesh team is the prime example on how to ruin natural talent with overcoaching and meaningless drivel and academic pilpul.
You have to give the boys carte blanche to play freely. Do your work, do all your statistical masturbation before the game... but during game time play freely your NATURAL game.
Ultimately sports is a primal matter -animalistic in nature- and you need to let your instinct take over instead of Ben Shapiro like anaylsis overcomplication. Technique also has its limits. Mindset is everything.
There was this "bengali bhodrolok" who GOT THIS. He was saying in the pre-match ceremony in the first T20: "Look. West Indies players don't bother with all these math equation. They come out to play. They wanna have a good time. Their main goal is to see the ball and send the ball over the boundary."
Something our players have lost it and lost the whole damn point of what a PLAY is all about. You f***kin play. You come here to entertain us. You take calculated risks. Life is one time. Stop playing just to be a mid-level team and "to get by".
