Most experts feel that in spite of possessing all the technical skills required to be a batsman of the highest order, he is unlikely to be so due to lack of requisite temperament. He was guilty of throwing away his wicket several time after working hard to lay a strong foundation. His critics pointed out that until he addressed his problem, success at the highest level will continue to elude him.

  1. He was already a successful batsman at the highest level.
  2. He was to improve his temperament in order to become a great batsman.
  3. He failed to make many of his good starts count.
  4. Improving his technical skills will guarantee success.
  1. iii and iv
  2. ii and iii
  3. i, ii and iii
  4. ii only
