The worst feeling for a batsman on a cricket ground is to get out without scoring a run. To add misery to that feeling is the fact that when a batsman gets out on the first ball that he faces. The walk back to the pavilion in such circumstances is, perhaps, the longest for any batsman.

As an opening batsman, your major role is to provide your team with a start. It might sound a tad unfair to the opener, but, for him to get out on the first ball of the innings itself is a huge blow to the whole team.

One also has to give credit to the bowler for the same. Dismissing a batsman on the first ball of the innings is easier said than done. Batsmen tend to be the most attentive on the first ball that they face. Moreover, bowlers tend to take a minimum of 2-3 deliveries to get into their rhythm and then bowl at their peak.
