What batting position did Benaud play most?

  • Opener

  • Number 3

  • Number 6

  • Lower order

Answer

The lower order is a term used in cricket to describe the middle and lower positions in the batting order, typically from positions six to eleven. These positions are usually occupied by all-rounders or specialist bowlers who are not considered to be as strong batters as the top-order batsmen. In Test cricket, the lower order may bat with the tail, consisting of the last two or three specialist bowlers.
