Planning Critical and need to play to one's strengths

Each cricketer is in the side for his ability and skills. He brings something special to the table. If he tries to emulate someone else, he is neither doing justice to himself nor to his team. All of us perform tasks and we are best at doing it our way. Likewise, each batsman must approach the task on hand while at the crease in the way he is most adept at We need to back our strengths. .
Stroke players like Dhoni, Gilchrist Kemp and Simons would go bang bang while the touch artists like Laxman, Vijay, Badrinath should depend on finding the gaps and timing instead of trying to blast the ball and manufacture strokes .
120 balls in a T20 game are a lot of balls. One can afford to play a few dot balls as you come to the crease. The top order of the Royal Challengers seem to be in a big hurry. Getting a good start is critical. The easiest thing to say is that we played badly and the opposition was better than us on the day or blaming it on luck.
It is important for players like Dravid to bring in the solidity to the middle order. He should not be expected to play like Sehwag. The problem that the Bangalore team faced was that they lost wickets early and 135 proved too little. It was good to see young Manoj Tiwari blossom in the company of the Ausie veteran Brad Hodge. Also not to be missed, the passionate leadership of Saurav Dada.

In the game played at Chennai, The Deccan Chargers got their act together this time. All their big guns fired. 190 for 4 was a formidable total. But then when the chase began, I wonder what players like Dhoni and Albi Morckle were doing sitting in the dugout. They should have come out higher up the order. By the time Dhoni had walked in, the match perhaps was at the threshold of the impossible Zone.
In a T20 game, a captain should always be thinking of maximising the returns on his resources. Morckle, Dhoni and Kemp should have been batting at 3,4 and 5 followed by Raina and Badrinath. Vijay should have been instructed very clearly to stick around, rotate the strike and preserve one end. Each player must be given his clear role. The Chennai Super King team certainly had the talent to score 190, but then they got their planning horribly wrong.
In life too, all of us have our strengths and ability to contribute to the overall scheme of things. It is critical for us to know what we are good at and look at playing the game of life backing our strengths.
