I've been cringing for some time now the (mostly Gen Y) commentators using the term "Batters" to describe Batsmen....a term that has been used in cricket for over 150 years.
Apparently though I'm the one who's mistaken !
The level of "Batsmanship" shown by our current players bears very little resemblance to Batsman of past eras, and is more akin to the cross bat slogging shown by baseball "Batters"......In fact even baseball hitters are probably more discerning over their shot selection than the current muppets.......Yay for the Big Bash !
Unfortunately there are no 3 strikes & out for our guys.

Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.
