Why do most number 11 batsmen not go out ina blaze of glory?

England were over 100 behind when the 9th wicket fell. Their chances of winning were pretty low (as I type they just lost the last wicket) and still James Anderson was prodding around like he was a test opener. Why not just cut loose and take a swing at anything. What's the worst that can happen, you lose by 100 runs rather than 70 or 80? You might as well have some fun while you're out there.|||I agree. Go for broke. You never know what could happen.|||ahahhaaha


they are really struggling.. God helps them|||Well it's all over now %26amp; the Aussies have romped home by 111 runs. I think if I was the 11th man I would be tempted to cut loose|||I thinkit is not correct to expect no.10 to slog and get out.There are so many incidences when the last pair won the matches especially in tests and many more instances when the last pair brought the score to the door step of victory and lost..These are the thrilling moments in cricket.So why should a team lose a match before losing it, let the opposing team earn the wicket ,what is the hurry to get back to the pavlion by throwing your wicket away.Just veiw the 9th and 10 wicket patnership records in tests.11 times a team won by one wicket and 16 times by 2 wickets and 17 times when the last pair of batsman drew a test match.In ODI's there are 37 instances when the last pair won the match.
