At what position should I bat in the Twenty20 Tournament???

jathu · 14-08-2009, 10:30 AM

I'm a opening batsman...and I am more of a stroke maker than a slogger...due to that...my captain has given three positions within the team for the first match...he has also told me if don't score in the first game...I will be batting at number 10...

He has given me the option of batting at number 1-2,3 or 10...the opposing team possesses good opening bowlers but the rest are useless...but its a twenty20 so there are only a few overs...I have never batted at number 3...so what do you think would be a good position for me?

Three for mine, gives you a chance to have a look at the bowlers before you actually go in that way, as its a short format it's likely that you will still get a decent spell in the middle as well.

Agree - your captain sounds like a bit of a tool.

Yeah, go for no. 3.

If you can open, you can bat 3.
