Your Cricket What position do you play?

I've never had a really fixed position in the club I go to every summer. Turns out that sometimes they let me go in and open the batting, while other times I'm playing at number 9. Either way, it seems fine with me because I see myself as a bowling all-rounder instead of a batting one.

From the few matches that I've played, I've played at No.7.I chipped in with a few runs and am a wicket-taking left arm medium pace bowler. I'm not too fast but I get a wicket in almost every game.

I've always been an opener ever since i started playing, the lowest i've batted is at 3. I've never bowled in a match until last week, the figures read 2-0-37-0. Never going to bowl again..sigh.

The more you bowl, the better you will get. The first game I bowled in I gave around 30 odd runs in 3 overs in a T20 match

True I guess, but can the captain really afford to give me more chance if we are to win games? for the moment though i'll stick to improving my batting.

I am a top order player.If not keeping generally I open the batting(Less than 20 overs),No.3 in One Days(Anything more than 20 over)and Unlimited overs.
If keeping then instead of batting at no.3 in unlimited overs I bat at no.4 as I am the anchor of my team.

Never played a long classy innings, mainly because I don't have the temperament. If it is in my range, i want to smash it. I am not the Shahid Afridi, I do score well, just never able to convert my scores in to hundreds.

You are the man! That juicy half volley is too tempting not to drive, forget the slip fielders. :D

I'm more of a see the ball, hit the ball kind of player. I love to play the scope off the pads to the legside like Sanath Jayasuriya or Adam Gilchrist used to play with utmost brilliance. I generally bat at #5 or primarily when there is a need to up the scoring rate.

In that case Ranji isn't too far down the line, care to share your full name. We'll then read updates about your progress
