Some people will say you have to be intelligent to work in IT.
Others will say you have to be a nerd, or Indian.
Bryce McGain is not Indian, so it’s up to you whether you think he’s intelligent or a nerd.
What is for sure is that his brain is segmented into separate hard drives and has a lot of ram.
He was talking about how he bowls to certain batsman.
And unlike most bowlers I’ve talked to, he seems to have his own system for dealing with batsman.
He puts batsman into types.
The example he gave was of Phil Jacques and Simon Katich.
He said they play leg spin with a similar method, so rather than work them out individually, he lumps them into a type of player, and then works to a plan that he knows works to that sort of batsman.
I think he said he had like 10 different types of batsman, and he starts with the plan he thinks is most likely to catch them out, and then tweaks it as he goes.
Obviously no two batsman are the same, but it gives him 10 different ways to start to a batsman, rather than bowlers who have countless plans or none.
The most interesting thing about all this is that he mentioned Jacques and Katich being similar, and then he said, if you bowl to Shaun Marsh he is also very similar so you start with the same plan.
The Krab and the future serious batsman type batsman are similar.
