What's your batting and bowling style?

My batting: Attacking, but I can defend and hold one end as well. :hafeez

My bowling: Left-arm medium/spin :afridi
 
Defensive batsman ... very much like :afridi ... but an attacking bowler, like :misbah
 
Batting style:Slog everthing except yorkers
Bowling:Right arm fast/OFFspinner
 
Batsman: Very defensive, unofficially the lowest strike rate in whole of Norway! :misbah
Bowling: Right arm wide bowler, :sami'esque?
 
Batting: Tape ball specialist(beast mode).. see ball hit

bowling: tape ball fast bowler.. rip some tape from one side of the ball to make it swing in the air
 
I feel like a tape ball player now :(
Batting: Can attack or defend at will
Bowling: Either left-arm Massive spin or Aamer like medium fast bowling ( I meant by action, not swing or control :P )....
 
RHB - Basically when i come out to bat, i check all the fielders that are deep on the legside, even though it won't matter a few seconds later when i try to smash the ball. So yes, I'm a legside slogger. short ball, full ball, yorker ball, everything has to go to midwicket :P All aerial except the yorker which i try to keep it on the ground. I am most often dismissed runout (because i try to run for everything) and bowled (when i miss them yorkers).

RHS - right hand slow :P I usually do not bowl until the death overs and when my super-slow bowling comes into the equation, many batsmen mistime and get caught in the deep (straight or midwicket). ppl say the ball naturally moves away from the right hander off the pitch (basically like a legspin?) EVER so slightly so sometimes ppl get caught behind too
 
Part Time Right Arm Wrist

Full Time Sleeping while Fielding
 
I usually play at no.6 or no.7 for my club team..so more of often that not I have to attack. But I have a very good technique to stay in the crease for a long time if I have to..just not so good at rotating the strike. My fastest Innings is 71 of 38 balls..but highest score is 131 of 141 balls in a 50 over match(last sunday actually)

Medium pace bowler ..always bowls wicket to wicket. Can ball very deceptive slow balls... Cannot swing much...but can bowl of cutters!! Best performance is 4 for 19 in 8 overs!! Most of the time dont end up taking wickets..but control runs!!
 
right arm medium fast and considered a strike bowler at whatever level I play. Can swing it both ways and reverse as well. I am a useful lower order batsman and am hard to dismiss once i am sen up the order. So i am pretty good allrounder.(except for firlding)
 
Batting: RHB, solid defense :inzi , Mohammad Yousf-esque drives. And can do brutal hitting when needed.

Bowling: Rarely ball, Right Hand Medium, wicket to wicket, can easily contain.
 
Batting : play the ball on its merit conventional and classy shots can pull the ball can't cut

Bowling : Line and length natural out swing and reverse in swing
 
Batting: Depends on the situation

Bowling: I'm fast (with tape ball) but if i compare with international standards i think im medium.
 
Batting - (Left hand batsman) Chris Gayle Style

Bowling - Right arm off spin

basically i do everithing that chris gayle does lol
 
Right arm faaastttt: :akhtar

Right arm leg spin : :warne

Right hand batsman - :inzi
 
Right hand batsman - Javed Miandad
Right Arm leg spin - Shane warne
Right Arm Off spin - Saqlain :D
 
Batting: like :dravid or :fawad (In slowness and not bring able to hit sixes generally. Dravid, cause of my defense)

Bowling: Slow very very very slow off spin bowling :misbah
 
Used to be a #7 slogger - converted and opened successfully last season.

Bowl 1st change like Razzler - even copy his action.
 
Batting - Tuk-tuk. Though I don't hold strike for long. I'm good at rotating strike, but sixes are rare for me (just like Rahul Dravid). When my team is batting first then I get chance to open. In that case I support the big hitter on the other end. When required run rate is high, captains always push me down to position 6 or 7. :( I like pull, hook and cover drive.

Bowling - Medium pacer (fast at that level :)) ). Bowling action - Shaun Tait style.

LOL I found out when I bowl fast, I'm a lefty version of Aizaz Cheema. :(

So, I just stick to my left-arm Rehman-esque spin style. :rehman
 
Left handed batsmen: moderate, try to pick up singles and doubles but I'm too small to hi boundaries :fawad

Bowling is like an Indian tundler I cant really bowl
 
Just play tape ball cricket really (only time I played with a cock ball, ended up getting hit on the hand and getting a swelling) and we play on a roof so I can't bat as agressively as I'd like otherwise we lose the ball and that is considered as :out lol
I still get these shots of adrenaline at times and end up playing agressive shots and yeah, lose the ball in the process :afridi
When I'm defensive, I'm worse than :misbah, I remember once I batted out some 5-6 overs for 2 runs
My bowling is my strength really :sami
I specialise in my fast bowling, am a right arm fast medium and I can bowl phaaaast, have bowled some great yorkers too. I can bowl googlies for fun :warne. There is this guy who is my bunny when I'm bowling them googlies
and I always come up with some new ball or the other lol :ajmal
And what do I say about my fielding?
I'll just say: "Don't ask :afridi"
Honestly, I have to be the worst fielder ever, It'll be a miracle if I ever manage to take a catch in the field
My ground fielding is good though, and when it comes to a caught & bowled, I can take catches

Massive hitter but I love defending. I want to stay at the wicket and just rotate strike but I'm always sent in to smash. I bat at NO.5. I'm also opening bowler. Can swing it both ways. I bowl around 70mph. Decent fielder too. Good catcher.

Batting:Top Order. Bat according to situation.

Bowling:Can't bowl,:(.Try Mid-fast bowling but I always end up chucking.:(
 
You could just have turned on the Faisal Bank T20 for my batting style.

All rounder, opener and seam bowler extraordinaire
 
I play tape ball cricket occasionally with my friends.I am a stylish right hand bat(my friends often tell me that whenever I play with them).I give very tough time to fast bowlers and am good at spinners as well.I can play all the shots in the book especially on the off-side.But I struggle to play off the legs....
When it comes to bowling,I love fast bowling that is exactly what I do(right arm).I am not very fast yet,but i am learning it more and also want to learn how to swing it often both ways.But I love to go as much fast as I can :akhtar
I can also bowl spin....

Predominantly a leggie who can turn it both ways, not too much of a batsman though, I'll admit, on my day, I can always chip in with a handy 30 odd

I'm the exact opposite of you. But that helps in first class since I can leave most balls outside the off-stump without having to justify why I left a half volley :farhat

Misbah is offended and will show you his defensive power in the next ODI crushing your record by playing 5 consecutive maidens. He is highly affronted.
 
Batting: Defensively but can Slog when needed

Bowling: Off-spin (I can spin it but can't bowl the doosra...)
 
batting : right handed(also known as strokeless wonder sometimes. but can hit a boundary suddenly.)


bowling:right arm fast medium

bowling slightly > batting
 
Opener, right handed, I play like Dravid in the beginning, kills the shine of the ball, after 10 overs, I get into Sehwag mode! Once I start seeing the ball, I usually don't defend ball, I look for the runs.

Medium Pacer who can outswing! I have very good yorker as well. At times I think I might be better bowler than batsman sometimes I think I am better batsman than bowler.

Let's just say I am perfect all-rounder. I like fielding as well! I like catching high catches, so usually fields at long off or point.
 
Batting postion 4 - Misbah / Boycott / Dravid style batting. Last Weekend I scored 30* in 35 overs. We won the game though.

Bowling - Slow & Gentle!!
 
Right hand middle-order batsman who can play according to the situation. :D
Right arm medium fast bowler having a good leg-cutter and is better off bowling at the death.
 
Left arm in-swing bowler - Tend to bowl within myself but can crank the speed up a notch. Get very late in-swing when my rhythm is right.

Right arm batsman - Pretty poor technique but i can hit the ball an absolute mile and if i get my eye in can be devastating(happens about once a year).
 
Right hand middle order batsman who plays his shots from ball one full of confidence, which often let's him get carried away , but boy oh boy when he's on song you have got no chance


Right arm medium fast, can bowl fast but am more of a swing bowler, I give the ball time to do stuff, Yorkers are bowled on will

I am an attacking batsman who loves facing pace bowling regardless of how fast anyone is or how many short deliveries they throw at me, i go for everything and when am angry it gets even worser! well am not really an angry person but i think i get all macho and my ego kicks in lol......not the best player of spin often dance down the wicket going for one mighty slog but get stumped or bowled however when i play spin of the backfoot more tend to get more luck....typical position would be the lower order but more often than not i ask the captain to let me open and let me feast on fast bowling!! my blade finds pace so yummy :)

Now, i bowl spin with my head down lol (paul adams) but i am not sure what type of spin i bowl myself even!, i tend to bowl frequent googlies, and deliveries which are pitched short and dip low now these two deliveries even i don't know how i bowl them i only know how i bowl the delivery which pitches from off stump to leg stump hence i tell everyone i bowl off spin but the selector at my club and captain who have seen me bowl have said i bowl leg spin when i hardly use my wrist i only bend it sometimes but i never use it to get elevation or revs on the bowl my stock delivery to me i think is the one which pitches from off stump to leg but i know how to bowl that so thats why i call myself an off spinner but god knows how i bowl the other deliveries they just come out occasionaly and more often than not am surprised more than the batsman
 
I'm now officialy a left-arm spinner.

I feel that I've improved a lot. Before I used to be a left-arm spinner, but would sometimes even bowl left-arm fast. In my last performance, though, I cleaned bowled one of our best batsman with my spin, and got a tailender caught and bowled (it was only a tailender, but the ball was epic). I now consider myself as a spinner, and everyone praises my spin more than my pace now.

Also, before I used to attack, but now I'm completely different. I always keep the bowl on the ground, and hit drives when needed, ala Azhar. :azhar

My new playing style:

Batting: A sensible batsman who keeps the bowl on the ground and hits good cover drives, square drives, and glances. :azhar

Bowling: From a pacer to a spinner. :afridi I'm an offspinner now, and I really enjoy the job.


I'm a pure all-rounder that bats at number 4-5 and bowls as 1st or 2nd change.

Batting : I am left handed with a high back lift like Aamir Sohail. Love Playing leg side. I am strong there....

Bowling : Well just floaters. off / top spinners.
 
I am an attacking batsman who loves facing pace bowling regardless of how fast anyone is or how many short deliveries they throw at me.And I am right handed batsman.I wish to play Pakistan cricket team.My Favorited player Ricky Ponting , A,b, DE Villiers,Kumar Sang kara ,and bowling style Bret lee this player is my Favorited.
 
Opening right handed batsman. I get the scoreboard moving. Usually try to build an innings. I batted first drop half the season last year because our number 3 wasnt scoring any runs and that lead to many collaspes after good start

bowling is - right arm medium fast, bowl first or second change
 
batting:middle order/opening: defensive
Bowling right arm fast/swing-aggressiveness varies
 
Leg Spinner. Not much of a batsman in all truth but when it connects, usually goes a long way :afridi
 
Right Arm Shane Warne :warne

Left Hand Saeed Anwar :anwar
