#3 Best place to have a chirp at the batsman and intimidate him

The best place to irritate the batsman is at Silly Point

There’s always place for friendly banter in the game and to put doubt in the batsman’s mind, the silly point is the best position to be in. You are right in the face of the batsmen and anything you comment is certain to reach his ears. Chirp. Chirp. Chirp all day.

But take it out on a tailender, he is sure to take a wild slog at some point in frustration.
