Taking guard

[Sylvia Saint]

For those of you who play cricket - may I ask what guard you take?

I'm a leg stump man myself.

Middle and Leg for me

Middle don't know why I bother though, I move around that much on the crease it doesnt really matter.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Middle.

Middle for RH bowlers, leg for LH bowlers.

Two legs for LH bowlers bowling over the wicket and RH bowlers bowling around the wicket.
Middle to leg for RH bowlers bowling over the wicket and LH bowlers going around the wicket.

2 metres from the stumps about a foot across from off stump. Leg glance every bowl for four.

I take middle and leg and then bat on off stump.
The umpires in the southern cricket association in Adelaide are so ********en stupid they rarely give me LBW, not realising im batting on off.

 

[GoSydneySwans]

Take middle and hardly pay any attention to it. If I miss it, what happens happens. I normally hit it if it's near the stumps.

 

[Squizza]

When I did play it was middle, not that it mattered I'd be back in the pavilion soon after anyway.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Middle most times but if we need quick runs with a bit of a slog I guard on leg, opens up the angle of each delivery to get more bat on it

 

[grims]

I usually take leg but am soon back in the pavillion so it's just a time wasting thing really

Top idea that. Next time I bat I'm going to take guard, look up to the umpire and say "I'll have a foot outside leg thanks ump".

To be honest, I've got a hatred for batsmen that ask the umpire for anything other than middle. It's pretentious. I bat just outside leg, but I figure if I take middle I can figure out from there where the rest of the stumps are. Blokes who take guard with other stuff are just trying to act like they know something about batting that nobody else does.

taking guard is over-rated.

 

[metallicamatty]

I am a really dominant Off Side player, and am hopeless on the leg side, so I bat a bit outside leg for about the first 20/30 runs, then if, IF, I get past that, I change to on leg, when I get my eye in.
