| Tail, tailender The tail is usually taken to mean the last four members of the batting side - in other words those listed as coming in to bat at numbers eight, nine, ten or eleven A tailender is one of this group. Traditionally the tail was composed of the bowlers, from whom little was expected in terms of scoring runs. With the growth of limited-overs matches expectations of tailenders' batting ability have grown and there seems to be evidence that many bowlers are taking their batting much more seriously than previously |
