Answer:
Over recent weeks, sitting in front of aspiring young cricketers, I have found myself asking them the question, "Why did you choose cricket?"
Some weren't so sure, yet for those who gave a clear reason, it was like watching a candle glow brighter as they spoke. The joy in their clarity was not only revealing to me, it was inspiring to them.
One said, "I love the moment when it's just me out there. That moment when it's one on one, the bowler running in at me with everyone else watching the two of us go at it. And sometimes it's not even that. I don't see the bowler, just the ball. I am in my own world, yet I am not alone. It's an amazing feeling."
This young man was obviously a batsman. He had articulated in words what I had been searching for all my life, as to why I had become a batsman.
Naturally I was influenced early by my dad, who was a batsman, good enough to play first-class cricket. And of course by my brother Jeff, who was special enough to smash Marshall, Garner, Walsh and Davis all around Sabina Park in one of the great Test hundreds I have seen. I looked up to those two and wanted to emulate them. Why?
Being the youngest I wanted to be noticed, especially by my older brother. I grew up seeking his attention. The best way to get it was to bat as well as him, if not better. Simple as that. So I chose batting as my life's path. Or did it choose me?
And like the young man who so eloquently described his choice, I grew to realise that batting was a special role that fit my personality and character. I wanted the attention and batting gave me that stage.
Why do so many others choose cricket, or specifically batting, bowling or wicketkeeping? How is the allrounder born in a cricketer?
Here is another answer from one of those young men questioned recently. "I find bowling suits me because I can impose myself physically. From a mental point of view I enjoy the fact that it is me, and no one else, who initiates the play. I like to see the reactions from the batsman and then the fielders, to my skill. It starts with me. And when I am in full flow I feel I can control a game."
Then the small keeper said, "I am in the game every ball. I have the best seat in the house as the bowler runs in, as the batsman taps his bat. I am the bowler's key man, the keeper of his work. I love that description: the keeper. I keep the game going with my presence and energy. It suits me physically to keep moving, mentally to keep thinking, and it fulfils me emotionally to be involved all the time. And when I bat I can have that moment of feeling the spotlight, but it's not a priority. I am the drummer in the band."
"Cricket is a unique sporting symbol of life; many characters searching for their role in life through a sport that tests one's resilience and resolve, man against man, country against country, day after day"
When we stop to analyse the greats of our day, or even the masses who enjoy cricket, you can start to see the reason why we take up various roles within the game.
As I look around the Ashes in full flow, I see the fruits of many years since when these young men first took up their respective roles and started playing cricket with freedom and expression.
