Usage of Preposition

Hello,



ESPNcricinfo gets the thoughts of two of them of how to play the Pakistan spinner.



Is the below sentence still right if the “of” is replaced by “on”? If so, what is the difference between the two?



Please help.



Thanks,

Prasanna

Hello Clive,

Can you please explain? Will the meaning change if "on" is used?

It should be "thoughts on how ..." - not "thoughts of how ...", just as Clive said.
