Here's a shocking fact.

How often are we told that cricket is a simple game?

I'm here to tell you it's not. It's way more complicated that "see the ball hit the ball". But you can still keep it simple.

It's all about perspective.

As Einstein once said; keep things as simple as possible, but no simpler.

Grit.

Could those 4 letters be the most powerful weapon in becoming a successful cricketer?
