Answer 4

Well, Cricket is kinda like all other sports (I'm an american and we don't really get to see cricket that much, but I've really feel in love with the sport [hopefully the rest of the world will embrace american football the way some of us americans have embraced cricket]) but in any case, A Cricketer has to have some of the same attributes as an american baseball player... the bowlers are like Pitchers in american baseball and the batsmen are like the batters in baseball... You have to have poise, and ability to hit the ball, you have to be able to be consistant, you have to be able to not slap your team mates in the face,

Answer 5

What a cricketer first needs is skill (either to hit the ball or to bowl it) however what makes a cricketer with skill great is a good cricket brain.

The best example i can think of is brett lee

When brett lee first burst onto the scene he had the skill, he could bowl and bowl fast! However he was often sent to the boundary quicker than he actually delivered the ball. Yet now brett lee has a cricket brain. what i mean by this is that he thinks about what he's bowling. instead of just bowling quick he bowls quick with a purpose. he contructs plans to get batsmen out.

A good cricketer also needs to be able to work with a team because winning a game of cricket is about working as a team. the batsmen can't win without bowlers as vice versa

Answer 6

cricket requires the same basics as other sports. motor skills, talent, practice ,etc. it also requires patience, a strong mental state, confidence and strength. so cricketers need all of the above
