1) What are the advantages/disadvantages of giving young players general technique training in batting and bowling as opposed to concentrating on specific aspects? In real life one would suppose that if a bowler's general technique improved he would show improvements to some degree in all the specific aspects of his bowling and similarly for batsmen. Is this true in the game? If so, am I correct in assuming that with general technique it just takes longer for each skill to improve. This would be logical, but I'm not sure how it works with aggressive/defensive batting and bowling as this can be more a matter of temperament and I'm not sure that's something you can coach.
2) Can anyone tell me how long a young player should be kept on technique training? I'm guessing we're talking about periods like half a season, a season or several seasons. And is there any way of knowing when a player has gone as far as he can go with technique coaching or is it just a matter of judgment? I'd hate to think all that coaching budget was being wasted on players who can't get any better.
