It seems to me that in the past it was allowed to have a 'runner' for an injured batsman. Is this not the case now?
ps I refuse to call them 'batters'!

Rog, it always used to be that runners were allowed but the ICC abolished this rule in 2011, due i believe to to some teams/players taking the pee. That is to say the batsman in question who requested a runner may not have been as indisposed as was made out.
I have been at games where the batsman who sustained an injury was, shall we say, somewhat portly. The "substitute runner" was almost always the batting team's answer to Usain Bolt !
And i concur, it will always be batsman as far as i am concerned.
