 दूस्तो अगर आपने हमारा वीकें फीचर देखा हो, on 5.75 oz, which we regularly do, on news click, तो निखिल नाज अर्जून पन्दित और मैंने, former India head physio, Jon Gloucester से बाद की, और हमने उंसे पूचा के, how should an Indian cricketer stay fit, इस लोक्ड़ून के दोरान, और कैसे, systems in place है, to track the fitness of IPL franchise players, निखिल निखिल निखिल बाद की, after the ODI & T20 series have come and I haven't done well, अगर दोरान देखा है, by the time the ODI & T20 comes, my body says I can only give you 50%. अगर देखा है, there was a situation where my back was only allowing me to perform 50% अगर देखा है, and that's when I started realizing that I don't have to bowl full pace every bowl. अगर देखा है, that's when I started bowling more slower bowls in the world cup. तो अगर देखा है, so if I bowl the total of 10 overs in the world cup, अगर देखा है, it would be slower deliveries. अगर देखा है, जोन, you suppose, keeping in mind the situation you're coming out of, अगर देखा है, the fact I'm alluding to is the all-format player. अगर देखा है, the all-format player should be put on the side for right now till this transitional period, भी अगर देखा है, being till the end of the year is there, अगर देखा है, you know, you break it up with a lot more players coming in, अगर देखा है, and so of course the load in the body is a lot lesser than. अगर देखा है, the most difficult one is the all-format player now post-COVID. अगर देखा है, and particularly for a fellow like Hardik, because he still has to get over the mental hurdles of performance as well given post-surgery, अगर देखा है, because he hasn't really played competitive international cricket since his back surgery. अगर देखा है, so he still has another psychological hurdle to overcome, अगर देखा है, so there will always be that sort of, I wouldn't say reluctance for that apprehension around returning to अगर देखा है, particularly the longer forms of the game, given that he hasn't tested his body even in the shorter forms of the game at an international level just yet. अगर देखा है, but there's always going to be that apprehension for him. अगर देखा है, it's only until you achieve those targets and achieve that without re-injuring that you then cross those mental hurdles and then push on to other forms. अगर देखा है, so the all-format player post-COVID-19 is probably going to be what we call most at risk, अगर देखा है, particularly if they're going straight from a test series, like we said, you know, I think the England boys are going straight from a test series then into a shorter format series. अगर देखा है, and the preparation because the numbers tell us, like I said, the GPS numbers tell us it's very, very different. अगर देखा है, so what they may have to do is even during the test series start introducing some components of the training that is appropriate for the shorter form out of the game. अगर देखा है, and we've seen that happen before is that during the test series they may start doing some more high-speed running efforts as additional training during the test series to ensure that they're adequately prepared and protected for what they're about to subject their bodies to post that in the shorter forms of the game. अगर देखा है, because it's a completely different work scenario for those players. अगर देखा है, so I think that's really important and that's the job, you know, for the S&C's to look at, you know, this is this whole idea of mapping ahead and seeing what's coming up. अगर देखा है, adequately prepared. अगर देखा है, meeting the numbers, you know, in test cricket, let's say for example, he sprints that, you know, it's high sprint efforts in the last two series to say 28 kilometers an hour. अगर देखा है, as long as he's meeting that for the, that he's okay for test cricket, but if he's highest speed efforts in C20 cricket and ODI cricket is 34 kilometers an hour, he's not prepared. अगर देखा है, he's six kilometers down on preparation, so the potential for injury is still there. अगर देखा है, until he meets those criteria, so that's what you'll work on during the current series of a test series in order to be prepared for those new demands on the physical body in the series after that. अगर देखा है, just one more thing, John, I heard Shoaib Akhtar saying right now, and this is a great time for cricket content by the way, everyone's on social media and is chatting and you know people like us who were dying for courts and stuff coming in, now we've got like so many of them, we can easily pick and choose. अगर देखा है, we're going to play this, we're going to play that. So Shoaib Akhtar said in an interview with Sanjay Manjrika, he said, listen, I don't enjoy fast bowlers of today because at my time I used to come in, try to bowl a fast bowl every single delivery. As a result of that, I've got bad shoulders, I've got bad knees, I've got bad backs and nowadays bowlers are being a little more cautious is what he said. So like Hardik said right now, like if there's six deliveries then a couple of slow deliveries will come in as well, so that the ease on the body is a lot more. Where do you stand on this from your point of view, would you say like, are you fine with that, that the bowler is not going in 100% because that's his job? You talk to guys like Stefan Jones, who are the best guys in the world of preparing fast bowlers to bowl fast, they will tell you exactly how to prepare a guy to do that exact job, because there are specific routines in order to do that. Because at the end of the day, particularly in test cricket, that is your job. If you're picked to bowl 150 plus and you come in and bowl three or four bowls at 150 and the next three or four bowls at 135, that's not your job. There's 100 other bowlers who can bowl 135. So your job, that's the job description. You need to be prepared to adequately perform your job description. Your job description in T20 is very different. Your job description in T20 requires you to bowl slow bowls, your could be smart, slow bowl bounces, whatever it may be. But your job description in test cricket for a traditional fast bowl up front, the irrespective of the wicked is to come in and bowl fast and you need to be prepared to do that. Mitch Johnson, I think was probably, I think he did a brilliantly in that Asher series in Australia, where he just kept coming back and coming back. His first spell would be 150. His last spell of the day after 20 hours a day hits to be bowling 150. But that was built around a very new training program and a new nutrition program, everything that he put into place in order to do that. And if that's what your job is, then you are going to have to be very disciplined in other areas of your lifestyle and the way you prepare and take advice from the best people in the business in order to get your body to do it. And that's it, simple. Also, I think you've got to take comments by Hardik Pandya and a few others maybe in these times with a pinch of salt. I say that because while they do talk about their fitness and the issues that will happen in their fitness because of bowling fast, you've also got to realize a lot of them have made up their mind that test cricket probably is not the go-to format for them. And a lot of players are now falling in that category where they'd rather play the shot of formats than play the test cricket. So everything is then built around this narrative where you may hear a lot of fast bowlers. I'll give you another example of Mohammad Ahmed from Pakistan at such a young age has already decided that. So the whole narrative is built around fitness but you also realize that in their head they've realized that the glamour, the money and everything belongs in the shot of format. So you build a narrative whereby you say that it's physically not possible for me to perform in all formats and then try and play the format where you get the most out of. And in this context you're talking about Hardik Pandya as the all-rounder as well because he's also got a very unique batting capability to fall back on as well. And he's a gun-fielder so he's on an out-and-out fast bowler. I would say his fast bowling is a value addition rather than being his primary skill set. So I believe he's probably as good a batsman as he is a bowler. So his example is slightly different. So I don't know, Shobhaktar or Sean Tate or Brett Lee or Varan Aran for example who's still probably India's fastest bowler. Their job in the longer forms of the game is to run in a bowl flat out. But Hardik Pandya also has to think well that's one of my jobs but I've also got a friend up and bat potentially for two or three hours as a middle-order batsman and do a good job there as well. So his skill sets are sort of spread over two or three areas which he needs to focus on. And for you to focus 100% on being an absolute out-and-out fast bowler is almost all consuming. And then have to then be, you know, and that's why I take my hand up to someone like Jacques Callott. Jacques Callott for the majority of his career bowl 140 plus, opened the bowling, batted three, you know, 14,000 runs and 300 and something, unbelievable. And we look back on that and think well hang on, that was almost superhuman. Given how hard we know what it is now to front up every day and bowl 140 plus with a new bowl in your hand. So yeah, I think he's an exception. You know, he's Hardik Pandya in the Jacques Callott's mould yet? No, not yet. And he's still going to prove himself not just from a numbers perspective but a longevity perspective. But I think that it's a damn hard job to bowl far. And if you're trying to do that plus two or three other things as well, it's even harder. So that's what I'm saying, you need the right advice from the right people built from the ground up with those people understanding your body type and training you specifically for your body type only. That's it. John, then would I be right in saying or would I be jumping the gun and saying that we've seen the back of the express all quality quicks because if you're a quality quick, you're playing pretty much all three formats. If you're playing all three formats, can you afford to be that express quick like a show about the or a Bradley used to be in today's time? Yeah, I think sadly, I think you're right. Because I think if you're an express quick, that's pretty much all you can do. Like I said, either that you then go to adapt and spend a lot of time developing skill sets for the shorter forms of the game, which is slow ball, slow ball bounces, all the other things just taking away from your core skill. And like I said, to stay bowling at 150 plus takes a lot of not just physical effort but mental effort as well. And you have to train very, very differently for that. One of the things I would suggest that at some point, if you get the opportunity to talk to somebody who really does know the fast bowler inside out and how to prepare them, particularly for the different formats of the game now and the demands of the formats in the game, then someone like Stefan would be great value to you guys to sort of understand that at some level, there are two or three individuals in the world quicker who can still adapt but I'm not sure that all of them can because again physically to transfer from one format and the numbers like I said, the GPS numbers tell us how hard it is to move over formats because the demands are so different. So you're going from almost completely different energy systems that you're using in T20 to test cricket. So you need to look therefore at how you're fueling these guys. So your energy systems change, your fueling mechanisms change. They determine performance, they determine recovery, they determine inflammation, they determine injury. So even right down to what these guys are being fueled will determine how fast they bowl. So there's so many sort of areas that now need to be covered specifically to bowl fast that if you're then one week playing T20 and doing that and then two weeks later playing test cricket and bowling 150 for 20 overs, it's almost very, very difficult to do. To follow up with that, I have spoken with Vidarbha Captain Faiz Fazal who has played for India as well on how he is staying fit physically, mentally during the lockdown. These are some things with Faiz Fazal. Fortunately I have a room in my house which is turned into a small gym now. So I bought that, my weights and everything last year. So I didn't know how, so I mean it was, and unfortunately this time is being used in that room a lot. And because of my colony where I live, it's a very, it's a closed colony, it's a locked colony right now. No one can come in, no one can go out, safety features, everything is very good. So we have a ground here in India. So all the running stuff, outdoor stuff can be done there, running alone definitely. I train in the evenings because mornings are a little busy. So after 7.30 till 9.30 I have those two hours with me. So I train on that time, I get quite a bit of time there. I've been very fortunate because my family is always very supportive with me training and everything. I always had a diet plan with me. So I'm very fortunate that we are getting stuff very easily here because couple of stores I had nearby which sells everything according to my diet. So I get my diet plan everything. So yeah, just because of the maids which are not coming into the house it gets a little tough because there were couple of maids who used to come and cook for me and definitely my wife and mom were there. But after the baby, it's more concentration on the baby. But yeah, they are still managing to treat me as a baby as well. I've got a small cement track in front of my house. I can show you now. That will be great. So you know, this is my call-in, this is my front. Lovely. Yeah, so and you know, this is the cement part. I'll show you. I'll go in front and then I'll show you. Alright, so lovely. So this is my, yeah, that's my house and you know, this is the part. And just to make it a little more difficult, there are few cracks you can see on the wicket. It shouldn't be easy. It should not be easy. It's not easy. It's not easy. Definitely. So yeah. Very cool. But you know, we have got a teams group, WhatsApp group and we communicate a lot there and then we have got a zoom meeting is helping a lot. You know, you've got a meeting room which all the players come in the morning and then we log in together. And we've got a training program. So very basic of all body weights because I'm sure not many people would have weights in their houses. So, you know, everyone, all the probables are being monitored by the trainers and physios. And you know, they are being looked up really nicely. So they're trying their best to keep fit and keep monitoring all the place because, you know, whenever the game starts, we are going to do a lot of training. When the game starts, we have to be on nettoes again. Yeah. So it can get a little tough for the cricketers to be very honest to come and directly play the professional cricket. So yeah, it's been monitored like this. Stay safe.
