Aggers has taken a swipe…
Must say I agree with everthing he says.
If it’s men playing the game then it’ll always be ‘batsman’ and ‘third man’ as far as I’m concerned.
If it’s women’s cricket, I wouldn’t call someone in bat, the ‘batsman’. I think it’s fairly easy for people to find the best terminology in those circumstances. The MCC attempting to regulate language is all very draconian.
