Nightwatchman (cricket)

IN CRICKET, A BATSMAN TO BE PROMOTED TO HOLD THE STRIKE TILL THE END OF THE DAY

Night-watchman (cricket); Nightwatcher (cricket); Nighthawk (cricket)

In the sport of cricket, a nightwatchman is a lower-order batsman who comes in to bat higher up the order than usual near the end of the day's play. The nightwatchman's job is to maintain most of the strike until the close of play (remaining in overnight after the end of the day's play, hence the name) and so protect other, more capable batsmen from being out cheaply in what may be a period of tiredness or in poor light at the end of the day, and then again the following morning when the batsmen have not yet ‘got their eye in', or when the early-morning conditions may favour the bowlers.
