Cricket Basic Number 53 (Batting): From Little Things Big Things Grow
53. Build scores and pressure with singles. Singles are the key to making big scores when batting in limited over matches with fielding restrictions. While it can be profitable to hit the ball over the infield in the early overs (when the field must be close), it is more import to then ‘milk’ the field for singles and twos (running hard) as soon as the fielders are placed back on the ropes. The occasional ‘four ball’ will still come along but keeping the ball on the ground and steering it into the gaps is the best way to accumulate runs quickly and ensure your team bats all its available overs.
