My Dear Riyaz:
All these new Batsmen, sooner or later, reach out to Riyaz Aluher, when they require guidance to convey their messages in English. The new Batsman may have already reached out to you seeking help and if not bound to do so in the very near future. When he does, would you please consider passing this message?
Please tell him it would have been perfectly all right in Rural Deniyaya or Rajapaksha MMV or Mahinda Galle or even at the Ministry, to call his subordinates by Malli and Nangi. At RC, for the last 60Y, I have never heard a P addressing his Deputies as Nangi and Malli!
Please tell him that before he introduces new traditions, he should follow existing ones which are time-tested and have stood in good stead making us what we are and these passing clouds must first learn the terrain before introducing new additions. That’s the only way he could continue so that we can have a reliable Batsman holding his end without loosing by innings!
Actually, these are what expected from RCU but since it has become so impotent since lately, independent coaches like you must up the game!
What has happened to us, Riyaz?
