Is Batting Hard or Bowling?

[cricket player]

Dont say That bowling is harder then batting,Trust me batting is way harder then bowling being an opener and has realized how hard it is to face the first 5 overs,Yesterday The Wind was crazy,I was send opener and the bowl was moving all over the place,I had no Idea what to do in first 2 overs but then settled in and played well.

Anyways lets get back to the topic,I would say batting is harder because any one can pick up a ball and start bowling but batting you have to be accurate other wise one mistake and you are done,but I want your opinion members,

In batting you usually get just one chance to make a mistake in an inning while a bowler can bowl a poor delivery or a poor spell and still come back to take a heap of wickets.

So in that respect batting is crueller. I wont say one is harder than the other as both require completely different skills.

cp will you please stop making these crazily titled threads in Cricket Chat and wasting all of our time?
For the record I'm referring to this and this and this and this. And, less recently, this.

Some days things go well with the ball, sometimes with the bat. Often wind can be the bowler's worst enemy, so I am surprised to hear you had trouble batting with the wind swirling.

To answer your final question, I'm not sure. Some people find batting easy, some find bowling easy - it's all up to the individual.

That was Psxpro

Wasn't psxpro or whatever the username was banned?

Well this thread is one of the more utterly absurd I've read.
Liam couldn't have been more spot-on with his first comment.

That was in OT, though, I'm presuming?
I'm speaking most specifically about CC.
There are plenty of stupid threads in OT anyway...

Obviously it depends on the personal abilities of the player. I'm sure Brian Lara finds batting much easier but Glenn McGrath would take the opposite view. There are however, a couple of obvious differences one might observe - batting has far less room for error (one bad shot and your out, while when bowling one four ball normally isn't disasterous) and bowling is more tiring.

That was Psxpro

He was banned. Same dude, I reckon.

If you don't like the thread....don't read it. Life's so simple...

If you think CP's threads are stupid why do you bother coming in here to post in the first place? Surely when you see his name on a thread you'd just ignore it...you're wasting your own time.

 

[Richard]

In case you haven't noticed I have ignored those other 5 threads I listed - count the posts, not a single one by me.
I'm just getting utterly sick of it, frankly.

If you just keep ignoring them then you shouldn't have a problem....if we all got up in arms over stupidity on here then there'd be no-one left allowed to post.

Indeed.

There's a difference between McGrath-gets-wickets-on-flat-pitches-only-through-poor-strokes stupidity and the repeatedly creating threads with utterly ridiculous title-topics in the inappropriate forum stupidity.
And the latter is far the worse crime.
It's funny once... twice, even. Just like pointless thread-digging.
Six times (and more, if we went back further) really just gets totally ludicrous, and I'm amazed James doesn't deem it needless waste of bandwidth, or the "pushing open threads off the top page" marc has so often accused me of. Honestly, the number of top-page threads I'm skipping ATM is quite banal.
If you're trying to be funny, post it somewhere where being funny is the intention of the forum and where you won't ruffle feathers with no need.

BTW... no longer in Sweden???

I don't see how this thread isn't a legitimate cricket question! Is it ridiculous because it sounds a little funny the way it's typed? People have been answering it sensibly so there doesn't really seem to be a problem.

As for the 'being funny' bit, you can't always open a new thread for this purpose otherwise you're falling into the trap of being accused of what I think your original issue is...i.e - needless thread starting. If it's to do with the topic at hand then that's where it should go, people will just ignore it if they don't think it's funny anyway. I don't think CP was trying to be funny when he started this thread though if it's what you are refering to.

'No longer in Sweden...' - yes, unfortunately so. I came back to Oz in October last year, just a bit slow on the change! haha I still had up until next month on my visa, so I don't know what I was thinking...it only took two days to realise nothing here has changed except for a few new buildings, marriages, and a lot of pregnancies it seems. Anyway, saving to get back up that way again now.

Listen,I make a Thread for a reason,The fact That we have some good cricketers all around cricket web I am eager to know what is their opinion.

You are not an administrator so dont try to act like one,If you are sick of my Threads dont even bother replying other wise If you do then just try to be a bit nice.

If you were sick of my Threads you should have replied with some thing more accurate Rather then opening your mouth before thinking.

Maybe it wouldn't be if it were posted by a user who's ever had a single post taken seriously - fact is, taken as it has to be in the context of countless previous cp threads, it's an utterly pointless one.

I don't know whether cp is EVER trying to be funny... I don't think anyone does. All of us can only guess. Either way, to most of us all the respective threads are simply quite stupid questions that should only ever be asked to try and be funny. If cp is asking them in all seriousness, he certainly shouldn't be asking them on this forum, more on the sort of forum he'd be much best suited to - idle, ********ting forums, frankly.
