Examples

“I thought they were a brilliant side to watch. They might have been a bit regimented in the way they went about things but they had pace with the ball and in the field, and they batted deep, with guys like Mark Boucher, Lance Klusener and Shaun Pollock often coming in at numbers seven, eight and nine.”

“A player that can play so well forward and so well in the midfield is so hard to replace. I would play him 70–30 forward–midfield because I like his ability to score. They bat deep in the midfield and he is so damaging closer to goal.”

“The problem I have is there is just way too much talent in the Liberals and The Nationals. Everyone wants our members… It is hard when you lead a team that bats deep: There is always going to be demand for our talents elsewhere.”

“The good news is this draft bats deep and there's talent to snare late.”
