Batsman is to be replaced by batter.

Batty or nice and fluffy?

Your innings. You decide…

Drives me nuts. I assumed it had come from the americanisation and general dumming down of commentary teams. But apparently its because its sexist (according to some ecb twonk who was on the radio yesterday).

The laws of cricket are being changed to Batter, similar to fielder, bowler etc.

People can still say batswoman/man etc, it's just changing the wording, thats all.

And you can no longer say ‘ball’.

Changed to ‘spherical object’.

It's not overs any more... Its "set of 6 deliveries" instead... You know to make it easier to understand.
