SPOTLIGHT ON BATTING TECHNIQUES

01 Mar 2006

Some players bat very straight, concentrating on scoring runs in the V'. Others are more noted for playing across the line and scoring most of their runs on the leg side. The trouble with playing across the line is that the player is more likely to be given out lbw. Therefore a clear indication of how straight a player is batting is to see how often they are given out lbw.
Website statistics reveal who has got out most in various different manners. We have a run away leader in the 'Out LBW Stakes' with 5 times. So step forward Ben MacGregor, the 'leg-side hoicker'. Get in those nets Ben and practice playing in the 'V'!!!
