Why do batsmen make better slip fielders ( in cricket) ? Thanks...?

Good batsmen are very quick and have excellent eye-hand coordination. When you are in the slips you rely on your reflexes to make catches.

You dumb ass.. first you should know that baseball was invented from cricket. Even when the ball bounces it still comes at you about 90+ miles per hour. So its hard to predict how high the ball will bounce.. So cricket is not a sissy sport you are a sissy sitting there talking crap about a sport which you are not man enough to play..

it is interesting.... there are 2 persons in each team. they will ony bat and bowl. others will field. when they get out, certain runs are subtracted. and team batting second plays entire quota of overs, irrespective of whether thay have achieven their target or not. this is because, even after achieving the target, they can get out and loose runs....

With a turbulent boundary layer on both sides of the ball, the effect of the seam is reversed. It now acts as a ramp, pushing the turbulent air away from the ball and causing the boundary layer to peel away sooner. That makes the pressure on that side higher, forcing the ball to swing towards the batsman.\n\n To get reverse swing with a new ball, smooth on both sides, experiments show that the bowler has to reach 80-90 miles per hour to get appreciable movement. This kind of speed has only ever been achieved consistently by a few bowlers. A scuffed ball however can generate substantial reverse swing at speeds well within the capabilities of any medium-paced bowler.\n\nThe ideal ball for reverse swing has one side rough, the other smooth, with a prominent seam in between. The seam should be angled at about 15 degrees to the direction of flight, pointing away from the desired direction of movement. The ball can then be swung both into and away from the batsman depending solely on which side of the ball is delivered at the front - generating either normal or reverse swing. Because the bowler does not need to change either his grip or his action, the batsman will have no clue which way the ball is likely to move.\n\nFor reverse swing the amount of sideways movement is related to the speed of delivery, making this a particularly effective delivery for fast bowlers.

first answer was correct, the bat handles are so thin today, it's hard to believe that the bats don't break every time a hitter makes contact with the ball...\n\nThe batters want as light a bat as possible, but rather than sacrifice wood in the sweet spot area, they take it out of the handle area.

They don't any more than any other player, but if they did it would be because they thought they could hit better.\n\nHitting lefty if you throw righty is a bit better if you are a weak hitter because your dominant eye is on the side that you use to throw, and for a weak hitter it is best for the dominant eye to be nearest the incoming ball. Also, the arm towards the pitcher is the most important arm because it does most of the work in guiding the batt onto the ball. If you don't make contact, it doesn't matter how hard you swing. For most pitchers, just making contact is a great success, so they work on that first.\n\nAll the BULL about protecting the pitching arm is just guessing, and guessing wrong. Pitchers "bail out" at anything remotely near them, and the umpires are particularly sensitive about allowing the pitcher on the mound throw near the pitcher in the batters box.\n\nI should know. I was a pitcher who could hardly hit anything righty, but I had some success hitting lefty with better batt control. It never went very far when I hit it, but at least I made contact occassionally.

They probably cause him more difficulties than the other members of the attack especially with Aktar's pace. The other thing is that it is more likely than an opening bowler will claim an opening batsman especially if he only gets 10 overs.

this is what pakistani bowlers used to do in early days..and players like botham used to call it CHEATING coz they were unable to comprehend let alone reproduce such deliveries...\nwasim and waqar mastered in reverse swing..\nwhat it realy is..haa...ball swinging in late overs of match..just bcoz it was treated in CERTAIN fashion not only by bowlers but the whole team...(keep on shining one side..ignore the other side of the ball)

EVERYONE EXCEPT BHAJJI NOT BOWLING WELL.\n\nTHAT MATCH HAD BEEN SCRIPTED TO WIN BY BATSMEN.\n\nRAHUL'S M.O.M. PRE-FIXED.\n\nHOW CAN RPS BOWL ECONOMICALLY THEN.

first of all,\nkudos to you for asking a very different and intelligent question\n yes i agree completely, a batsman like dravid for example is considered to be technically one of the best batsman in the world right now because of his ability to successfully tackle all kinds of oppositions under different playing conditions.Thus a batsmen who has his basics right and plys 'textbook' shots having also a solid defence is going to survive all kinds of attacks\n though let me say that such kind of play requires lots of patience and hardwork so it is kinda difficult even for the likes Dravid to play like this always.

In ODI'S, It's best to send your best players in first,so they have a better chance of playing more deliveries.!I don't see how that would help the team sending Tendulkar in at 3 or 4.????

Hr's'?\nwell.getting wicket not only related to speed.it also requires line&length.bowlers plan.glenn is such a person.\nLET US FIND ONE LIKE HIM.

I don't think that will make such a difference. If they can concentrate  on the field, they can do whatever they want off the field.\nShane Warne is the best example for this. Remember what happened before the Ashes 2005, and how many wickets he got in that series?

ok, its beacuse the net run rate is calculated based on 50 overs a side, but teams oftendo not bat their whole 50 overs, eg if they win in 43.2 overs, so they rates are skewed.

Baseball and Cricket are not exactly the same type of bat and ball games. Cricket is more about the technique of placing the ball while the ball is coming from a variety of bowling actions from spin to fast. It would not do any good if Mr. Dhoni who has the natural talent to hit the ball starts playing base ball to improve his cricket shots because for one thing he will always get double minded when playing a stroke whether to play it as base ball or conventional cricket. Spinners like Murlitharan or Abdul Qadir or Kumbley can produce a versatile array of balls in spin and playing baseball won't help Dhoni in dealing with those balls. As for playing shots is concerned I feel he is already doing that and the recent West Indian tour of Indian team and the last year's tour of Pakistan has proved that. Won't it be like asking a dolphin to try swimming in our pool to improve her skills in ocean? Or ask a golfer to play hockey? No, I think these are two different kinds of sports and a playing cricketer can improve his skills by pratising more.
