First of all you have to have skill,talent and a passion for the game of cricket. Without these sources you wouldn't even get close. But having just these is not enough. A lot of practice and determination is also needed. As practice makes perfect. you must never give up and always believe in your-self. If you are not up to your full potential ask someone (expert who actually knows what he is talking about)for advice and try to correct your mistakes without regretting about them. The main thing is self-confidence with it, you are bound to succeed in cricket, as a batsmen. BY: Shawn From my personal experiences and pathway to success. THANK YOU

Answer 3

The first (1) baseman is like a DH but on the field ... he does have to no how to handle a line shot coming his way ... he has to turn one of the hardest double plays in the game ( 3-4-3 or 3-6-3)... the first (1) baseman makes the most outs on the team ... so a skilled glove is need ...

Opinion:

A 1st baseman is a lot like a 3rd basemen except for a few qualities:

Much like a 3rd baseman a good quality for a 1st basemen is:

- a big individual with a good wing span

- generally is considered a power hitter in your lineup

- as any infielder, good glove work is required, but usually your 1st basemen will be the least skilled out of the 4 position players on the infield when it comes to fielding

A few other qualities might include:

- exceptional ability to catch thrown balls no matter if they are quality throws or not

- being left handed is a plus, this will allow you to have your glove hand towards the infield

- although it is important to have the ability to cleanly field a batted ball (as is the case for any defensive player), most 1st basemen are judged on their ability to "dig throws out of the dirt" or make good catches to "bail out" their teammate on a less then average throw to first
