If bowlers didn't swing the ball, I don't think I would have been dismissed this season yet. As it stands, I have 0 not outs and an average of just a tick above 5. That says it all.
I just leave them..the hardest ball for me to play is an outswinger starting on about leg stump and swinging away to 4th stump.
Then again I think everyone has trouble with that.
AWTA. Especially when the umpires are of a poor standard and give you out when they hit you on the back pad after you come forward, just because the hit in line..the hardest ball for me to play is an outswinger starting on about leg stump and swinging away to 4th stump.

Oi, settle down there!!!! 50-50 isn't a bad ratio.....I love being an outswinger bowler. What is annoying is when you get edges but the overweight guy who can't field anywhere else but slip puts them all down.
Always thought that was a ridiculous situation, myself. Slip is your most important position - your best slippers should be in the slips at all times, not your least mobile movers.I love being an outswinger bowler.

No way. If you're struggling with the swing then you've got to play it later and with soft hands. Push at the ball and you're toast. Also don't really buy the "if you're gonna go, go hard" strategy. Can pay off if the ball is wide but you can get a fine edge no matter how fast the bat speed is.I'd much rather face a genuine fastie, than one who can swing it.
The most difficult are those on around off and swinging slightly away, a la McGrath.
Never show the bowler fear, play forcing positive shots. Even if edged, more difficult to catch than weak defensively edged ones.
No, that's why I said it depends on what pace they're bowling. If it swings straight out of the hand though, and it's highly repetitive then it won't be as difficult as someone with variation swinging it late. 130kph and straight would be quick enough to get me 9.9/10. A guy who swings it in third grade is only going to get you out if you go to sleep before it arrives. It's fairly obvious that a guy who bowls fast and swings it a lot is going to be harder to face than a guy who bowls fast and straight.yea but a fast bowler who swings it is a lot harder to face than a fast bowler who bowls straight...
theres no comparison. Youre sounding like if you bowl straight you suddenly gain pace...you can bowl fast and swing it too.
