The "batters" term is from the promotion of the women's format, the non gender specific term.

The first guy to reference that stupid word was Ian Cheppell and that was a LONG time ago. When questioned about it, he referred to his other pastime ... baseball. Fact.

It's crap IMO. "Batters" belong with baseball, NOT cricket

Australian cricket will be in the doldrums for a long time to come. I reckon boxing day at the MCG will fall well short in terms of attendances

Old Tubby, gets lampooned by his peers and the media, but he is smarter than they think. There is a reason he was probably the best Test Captain we've ever had!

Exactly ... briiliant captain, played for the cap, maintained team harmony and never flinched from the tough qiestions posed of him. Pity he's ruled himself out

Navy Maven ... appalling? Really? I condemn NO-ONE but neither do I take one side at the exclusion of all others before the evidence has been gathered. It's called balance ...

I agree, but the pile on after the fact always makes me wary of intent and honesty of the accuser. For the number of cases proven (I don't see the need to name the guilty here) many are fraudulent

Pitiful where you can no longer stand behind who you are as a decent person. NEVER an easy answer
