Should I bat or bowl?

What are you best at?

Being tall doesn't mean you should be a fast bowler. Pietersen is tall, isn't he? Are you a better batsman than bowler, or do you just enjoy batting more? As one bowler once said, bowling is a job, batting is for fun. Unless the batting line-up above you is really top notch you'll probably get a knock anyway, so why not have a bowl as well? Better than standing in the deep bored silly, or getting a bad back bent over in the slips.

Actually I would suggest that the bigger and more powerfully built someone is, the more stress their body undergoes during sporting activities.

Attempt to be both and in time you'll know what you are. One side usually comes up stronger

thanks for u people comments but tell me for an allrounder is it good to be a slow pace batsman and a containing bowler i.e the one who tries to stop the flow of runs or it should be the one who when comes to bat tries to hit around all parts of the ground and when asked to bowl tries to get wickets even at the cost of few runs.

Why trying to be a bits and piece player with no utility, I would suggest if you think you can bat better, and enjoy it too, than give it a full go, be the best batsmen for your side and get a permanent slot. Once you have a permanent slot you can start and better your part time bowling. But never try to be good at everything as these players are most likely to be dropped! I have captained a side for a long period as a captain I would always go for the specialist batsmen or bowlers, and in the end fill up the gaps with allrounders as you are never sure which day they will perform!

Yea be an all rounder. At some point you will find your natural role but at the age of 20 your still learning what makes you most effective. Its good to be flexible. In one team you might be needed as an all rounder, in another team you might be needed as just a bowler. So keep your options open.

Your country certainly needs one...........
