Read MoreMasterclass: Don’t Make A Bad Ball Into A Good One
One of my previous Masterclass articles is entitled Don’t Make A Good Ball Into A Bad One where I discuss the importance of shot selection in the context of a great player who I was fortunate enough to play a lot of first-class cricket with David Boon.

I heard an expression that made me think recently, it was ’95% of people turn up’. I think that the application of this expression to cricket is that in most cases 100% of people turn up to a game, but how many of the 24 people at the game turn up to do what it takes to win or to play the best game of their lives or to take responsibility for their team winning the match. I believe that great performances don’t just happen, they are a result of making the effort to plan carefully and having the...
