England are still playing catch-up with the modern way of batting in the 50-over format but are showing encouraging signs in closing the gap with the major cricketing nations, the team’s batting coach Mark Ramprakash said on Thursday.
“It’s a delicate balance to play with freedom but also responsibility,” said the 45-year-old Ramprakash, who played 52 tests and 18 ODIs for England.
“But I think the mentality for England to get up to speed with 50-over cricket and the modern way of batting in this format, I’m happy with the direction that the guys are going in.”
