Imo Cito and Murphy are both probably great coaches except they both have this crippling flaw that they teach the game in a sub-optimal way which just is not competitive in the modern environment.
This entire organization from Beeston and AA through to the minor league coaches does not believe in the usefulness of OBP as a stat. This is obviously a shame since maximizing OBP is the correct way to play the game.
I think we should call it the curse of John Olerud because of this team's completely inability to recognize that OBP is an important stat since forever.
The bowlers do not have any protective gear in cricket. It isn't really necessary since you don't try to hit line drives in cricket. What pitchers need is a Petr Cech-like helmet.
