Is talent more important than technique ??

[irfan]

Mate, I was joking.

Surely there are worse things to be called?

Haha it's fine. I just wanted you to not confuse me with some fanatical Pathan supporter.

i think when your talking odi cricket you have to say talent is going to go further than technique.
for example in new zealand cricket over the last few years they first tried the marshall brothers based on technique and they never really worked out. now they have ross taylor who you would say is more based on his talent and so far hes going very well.

I think Taylor has an excellent technique, one of the most impressive NZ batsman to watch I've ever seen.

Nathan Astle would be an example of a player with an ugly technique imo.

I think the issue with Taylor is more about shot-selection.

Taylor does have a tendency to plant his front foot and play around the pad slightly, just like a right handed Stephen Fleming. If he keeps scoring runs, then who am I to complain?

i think the reason taylor was picked for the nz team was based on his talent tbh.

Agreed, 100%. A mild case of Geraint Jones syndome.

I think a good technique is important to survive when a good bowler is bowling on a good track in order to survive and make some runs.

But due to the flat nature of tracks nowadays lots of batsmen seem to do well even without a decent technique.

Your point?.

 

[Richard]

That the similarity in your forum names and postcounts is hilarious.

 

[Pup Clarke]

It wasn't intentional however..

 

[Richard]

Exactly - it wouldn't be funny if it was.

 

[Pup Clarke]

What about our posting styles Richard?.Anything similar in that regard?.

Technique over talent without a doubt, just look at Afridi and you should have a clear idea why.

God no, not at all. You're an all-rounder, pup11 only ever posts on Australia and India.

I was thinking numbers of very similar value, TBH.

Shot selection is more of an issue there than lack of technique.

 

[Richard]

His technique is hardly first-rate, either, though...
