if Usain Bolt had chosen cricket we would have had a great fast bowler like in the old days!

Mappy:
Usain Bolt was once asked how he wills himself to win and to be the champion he is. His reply was:
[size=14pt]"It's not the will to win that really matters to I man. It is the will to prepare to win that is most important to I man. And I man pride myself in working harder in my preparation for a race than any sprinter in the world."[/size]
* DID YOU READ THAT MAPPY ?
* Now. How many West Indies batsmen and bowlers have Usain's philosophy about the will to prepare to win ?
BOTTOM LINE:
[size=14pt]West Indies cricket are lazy and are not prepared to put in the hard work needed to be world class test cricketers.[/size]

* They are not preparing with purpose---that is what Usain meant when he talked about the "will to prepare".
* When Shiv practices he says he imagines himself to be in a match situation.
* As a result he practices with perfection.
* It's how you practice that determines your success----not just practicing alone.
