"The boys are really talented, they come prepared and stuff like that, but they're not really used to this bigger stage (playing in the WC). It's a step up, international cricket. (on the coaching philosophy) It's something where people like me can contribute very well. So it's all about the process and what process works for them, being aware of what works for them and they need to continue that because as they go higher up, there are many more distractions, doubts that many more people talking to you about the game, about everything else. So they need to stick to the process, be focused on what works for them. (on the team management) They totally do because both of these guys (Sunil Joshi and VVS Laxman) are very approachable and they are open to anybody who wants to talk anything about cricket. We all make it easy for the boys to just come over and talk to us," Hrishikesh Kanitkar said.
