It's not that hard spaw!

But cricket is a tactical game. You can have bowlers trying to outwit batsmen, batsmen trying to dominate a bowler. A captain with an armoury of bowlers, some who can bowl very fast, others who can spin the ball and make it turn very sharply, choices of where to put the fielders to get the best chance possibly to attack (ie take catches) or perhaps to defend (i.e. stop the other side scoring too quickly).

Think of a test match as a game of chess played out by skilled athletes.
