Counties don’t invest in the 4 day game anymore as it doesn’t pay.And they all look badly coached at the basic level.
Rory Burns has basically been either playing test cricket or on holiday for the past 2 years and no one has tried to fix his technique problems.
Butter and Bairstow have really obvious weaknesses and they're not being fixed.
I remember great opening batsmen like Cook developing technique issues or bowlers exposing weaknesses after loads of analysis and theyd go away and fix them.
The dropped catches everywhere- thats always been used as a barometer of coaching.
There's no evidence of coaching.
Therefore we’ve stopped producing players with any form of defensive technique or a mindset to bat for half a day.
We don’t have any coaches to coach them badly!
