Passage - V

There are dull, mechanic fellows who turn out runs with as little emotion as a machine turns out pins. There is no colour, no enthusiasm, no character in their play. Cricket is not an adventure to them, it is a business. It was so with Shrewsbury. His technical perfection was astonishing, but the soul of the game was wanting in him. There was no sunshine in his play, no swift surprise of splendid unselfishness. And without these things, without gaiety, daring and the spirit of sacrifice, cricket is a dead thing.

Which one of the following statements best conveys to the reader the writer's idea?

A) The batsman's technical perfection should be astonishing, and it is most out important in cricket.

B) Without the spirit of sacrifice cricket is uninteresting

C) There was no sunshine in Shrewsbury's play, but that was not necessary

D) A good batsman must be able to turn out runs as quickly as a machine produce pins
