| I am in complete agreement with you (for perhaps the first time ever) in one respect: I support huge outfields and hard to reach boundaries. That said... I have absolutely no time for "power": what appeals to me about huge outfields is precisely the way gaps open up for batsmen who nudge and nurdle... and the way the "power hitters" struggle once the boundaries become more elusive.
Power players will always thrive on small grounds: big grounds,to my mind, favour players whose touch and placement is matched by an ability to work the ball all around the wicket. |
