Plot twist...

He’s coaching the Irish baseball team (because he was a chucker).

Interesting. I can understand how someone who could not do very well as a player can become a good coach, knowing their own limitations and how to get the best out of others. But how can someone who could not correct a fundamental flaw in his own game throughout his career coach someone to get better at their game? I mean how can he ensure someone else is not chucking, for example?

The question is also relevant in the context of Utseya for example.

Just as a general reply, I think it’s not that they cannot correct their flaws, it’s just that they are useless without it.

Imagine yiu had a sneaky pair of shoes that allowed you to jump 1m higher than usual when you jumped a certain way.

It would be pretty easy for a fit bloke to carve out a basketball career if he wanted with such hidden power.

Now imagine the shoes are discovered. He can continue to play without it, but now he can’t jump higher than Mark Cosgrove and thus not a potent player anymore and redundant. Shoes or nothing.

He CAN throw the shoes away though if he wanted. Which in this metaphor is correcting the action.

This is what I think happened to Vitori, maybe querl, all our guys.

Vitori bending his arm made him 140km he at full pelt.

Vitori bowling straight arm is 122km hr at full pelt perhaps.

Hence why he’s just disappeared back to the jungle now after being a test player.

Their power was from the action, their destiny was never to be elite cricketers with a legal action.

Might be a bit off topic but there was an Interview earlier on by goodwill mamhiyo and Richard muzhange. Quite a few interesting points discussed but one thing for Sure is that the System is in the intensive care unit
