Batsman

A batsman in the game of cricket is a player whose speciality in the game is batting. The players are usually divided into four categories viz. batsmen, bowlers, wicket-keepers and all-rounders. A good batsman is the one who is a prolific scorer, can come to bat at any given time, supports other batsmen well by rotating the strike and does not gives his wicket away (does not gets out easily).
