I think this is a good move by the BCCI... no ODI cricket for under-17 kids.

You're missing the point completely.tamara : I think some of each is needed becuase they are so different. If they only play 4 day cricket then when they do play the OD stuff they will be scoring very low and won't know how to balance the inning properly.
Does that include the "reverse straight drive"? Pattened by Mr Ryan Campbell.luckyeddie said:Mikey's certainly had a lot to say on this subject over the last few years.
His opinion has always seemed to be 'learn to bat first' - in other words, learn the techniques of defence, building an innings, 'proper' strokes and so on, then move on to the 'special case' which is one-day cricket (nudging, nurdling, rotating the strike, having a waft).
It's strange, when you think about it. When we start playing the game as kids, it's always limited-overs cricket first.
Was she wearing a helmet or wouldnt of made much difference?Tamara said:I could be coached. I had one girl in the under 14 team that I coached who could do that.. she stopped after she hit it straight into her head though.
Surly it isn't called a reverse straight drive.. It has nothing to do with driving.
But wasn't it Marillier who started it against McGrath in Aus. Campbell must have used it last year or the year before .Craig said:Ok, during the Australia 'A' series, 'keeper Ryan Campbell would often get on his knees and scoop a full length ball up over the wicket keeper's head for four. You cant coach it, but it can be a anoying for the captain and bowler, here the bowler is pitching it up on the stumps, and the batsmen is hitting it over 'keepers head with no fieldsmen.
There already a 17 yr old ready to play for india..Ambati Rayudu.....and the selectors arent ready to play him yet.What would happen if a 16 year old batsman came along, good enough to pay for India. Would he be selected for an ODI?
