Humor: Five tricks to tackle Indian spinners

#3 Drive in Mumbai’s traffic

If you have ever driven a car in Mumbai, you will be well aware of the challenges involved in moving from point A to point B. It involves patience of the highest order. You have to motivate yourself because the situation might be too daunting. Vehicles don’t move for a long while similar to the scoreboard that seems to get stuck in Test matches when the spinners bowl maidens on the trot.

A rickshaw or a pedestrian can land in front of you from anywhere on Mumbai’s roads. Driving in Mumbai’s traffic will help you develop a peripheral vision to detect such random movement of people. Increased peripheral vision will help batsmen know where the fielders are so they can hit the ball in the gaps and get runs.
