Ok so in yesterdays game I was opening and usually i'm pretty solid and can hold up an end while my partner plays his shots... but yesterday the bowling attack had a strong wind to work into from one end and with from the other, I was fine with the bowler going with the wind and handled him well but with guy coming into the wind i really struggled and even ended up getting out to him, the main reason of this was he was swinging the ball like nobodies business and bowled me around my legs in the end. anyway I was wondering what are peoples views on how far out of you crease you should come to negate the effects of a swing bowler, I usually bat with the centre of my body over the crease because I like to have as much time as i can to watch the ball plus i've found it usually makes the opening bowlers ************ their line because they're used to people being outside their crease and i'm right back usually getting a couple of nice half volleys before they can adjust their line enough.
so In short where is a good place to bat for a swing bowler?
