Baz's biggest strength as a coach was that he kept innovating.
At KKR, he was always making notes.
Later, he often sat in the balcony with a walkie-talkie instead of the dugout because the higher view let him see the field like a chessboard and pass on instructions.
Iโm really excited to share the cover of โThe Wizardโ ๐
The book is the story of my journey through 20 years of the professional game and 14 years with England Cricket. The unforgettable victories, the toughest challenges and the moments behind the scenes that shaped my career, on and off the pitch!
โThe Wizardโ is published on 22nd October and is an available to pre order now! You can also pre order signed copies from @Waterstones and selected independent bookshops.
Huge thanks to @Cricket_Ali for helping me bring my story to life through this book.
I canโt wait to share it with you all!
Vaibhav Sooryavanshiโs bat swing has been outstanding. Whatโs even more remarkable is how beautifully he clears his front foot to create room for balls aimed at his legs. This freedom allows him to play the way he does.
That innings was nothing short of spectacular!
@BishOnTheRockx We make young kids do this to develop power hittingโthe power wedge method on the front footโwhich helps them get off their toes and create momentum through the shot. Inspired by @BatPowerGuru
Happy birthday, Novak Djokovic. Youโre a gift to tennis. Have a great year ahead.
For the record, after I wrote this piece for @prajavani, hot on the heels of his #USOpen title in 2023, he hasnโt won a Grand slam.
Wish I knew this trick in 2020 ๐
