“It’s not how, it’s how many.”
Bowlers really do win matches. But sometimes, they do so with the bat. Even a genuine bunny can play a vital role in extending a lead, reducing a deficit, turning a poor score into a respectable one, or forcing a draw.
Each run scored by a tail-ender has the same worth as one scored by a recognised batsman, and sometimes more when it entertains spectators, frustrates opponents or lifts team-mates’ spirits.
