it would be great if more than a couple of them could bat a long and patient innings, and the situation sometimes (often) requires it, but they aren't capable of it. they dont have the technique.
would be like asking a medium pace bowler to crank it up to 93mph because the pitch suits pace. he just cant do it, and forcing him to try is going to lead to all sorts of tomfoolery

can make you **** yourself, which is pretty fun
