Got a golden duck today and got clapped off I didnt raise my bat.I always thought raising your bat was simply a way to acknowledge the crowd if they clapped you off. Hence, no clap - no bat raise from me. If I made 0 and got clapped off though I'd raise my bat. I let others make the decision, basically.
Seems a little arrogant or maybe you were in a match with about ten overs. Or maybe they got the winning runs.Well i saw Many players got 30-40 runs no claps from crowd.....but raised their bats....wat was dat buddyyy?????????????
That's an un-SW\BLE-like post in my experience.
Yep, exact same here. You get applause, you raise your bat. Therefore, even in the frequent event that I get the ironic cheers having been out 1st ball, I always raise my bat (in as much jest as the applause) to acknowledge it.I always thought raising your bat was simply a way to acknowledge the crowd if they clapped you off.

Indeed. 30 from 15 balls at the end of a one-day innings can be as valuable as a well-paced hundred sometimes. Innings in match context. Also the mode of dismissal may call into question whether the bat should be raised.The context of the match as well as the class of the innings.
