"Three points if you put a dive in and break the stumps," Trevor Penney , India's fielding coach, said in an encouraging voice to the players. Penny's encouragement came during the final segment of an exhaustive fielding drill, during which the players had to charge in, swoop on the ball and throw underarm.
On cue, Ravindra Jadeja went sprawling into the stumps and yelled "three points, three points," making everyone laugh, including India's coach Duncan Fletcher, who was closely observing Penney's training methods.
