Picture the scene...
Your team is playing a one day match (lets say 50 overs). The opposition batted first and made a mammoth score. Your openers failed in reply, your middle order has failed. You are left with 1 decent batsman and the tail and you are way behind on the required rate. There is no way your are going to make their score, or get anywhere close.
What would you prefer to happen?
The batsman plays sensibly, doesn't get out and guides the team to a respectable, but ultimately losing, score.
Or
The batsman and the tail go out in a blaze of glory, they really go for the big shots, they push their luck, they hit a few fours and sixes but ultimately fall way short, but at least they provided some entertainment.
The choice, as they say, is yours........
PS. Be aware that if you prefer T20 to 50 over cricket your opinion is automatically wrong and null and void, so don't bother posting
