bat·ter 2 (btr)
n. Sports
The player at bat in baseball and cricket

the word batter has more than one meaning, just because you are unaware of that does not mean the word is not to be used in this context.
and to be honest, who cares

Anchor....Saffies are well known for their lack of humour.....too serious and too uptight.....thus the reason why they haven't won anything of note TBH......agree with you that Arthur shouldn't of been the only one to get the boot for Australia's woes......can think of a few players and management who deserve to be shown the door....

still think appointing Lehmann is a big call by the ACA, but the right one...at least Lehmann has a bit of imagination and left field about him....the combination of him and Clarke should be a good one.....now all Aust need is the likes of a Steve Waugh to replace Invers....who for my liking is way past his sell by date...

Hey Anchorman, only amatter of time before they are called pitchers, and the keepers wear mitts. Oh and it will be called first INNING and not first INNINGS.

LEAVE OUR "UNIQUE SPORTS" LANGUAGE ALONE.

i think the sky is going to fall in..
not sure what it has to do with Mickey Arthur either..

you aint Saffie by any chance MO?......

no, are you ?

who gives a toss if you said batter, batsmen etc.....we all know what you meant....if you were an Aussie, you would of taken it as banter and ignored it.....yet you responded with a Saffie like response......embrace the banter MO....continue to use the batter remark.....even just to wind up Anchor et al..... just thought your response was very Saffie like........if I have offended your Saffie roots then I apologise.....though I can't think of too many SD supporting Saffies TBH.

what are you talking about ?
