Lower Order Batsman
A Lower Order Batsman refers to a player in cricket who typically bats in the lower positions of the batting lineup, usually from number 7 to 11. These players are often not primarily known for their batting skills and may be more skilled in bowling or fielding. Their main role is to support the top-order batsmen and contribute runs when needed, especially in challenging situations.
Lower order batsmen can be crucial in tight matches, as they may help to stabilize the innings or add valuable runs at the end. They often face challenging bowling attacks and must adapt quickly. Notable examples of lower order batsmen include players like Wasim Akram and Ben Stokes, who have made significant contributions in crucial moments.
