What Is The Definition Of Gardening In Cricket?
1. The act of pushing and prodding the pitch with the bat between deliveries. This is done by the batsman for a variety of reasons: to fix an indentation in the pitch, to soothe frazzled nerves or to interfere with the bowler’s rhythm. Many consider it to be foolish and a waste of time, yet some batsmen continue the practice either out of habit or due to one of the aforementioned strategies.
