Whats your Fav. Shot?

[NikhilN]

Mine is Sweep,Hook,Cover Drive, And Late Cut

What about you?

 

[luckyeddie]

The wild swish in the general direction of long-on

(usually followed by the sound of furniture being re-arranged)

 

[Rik]

Cover drive, no nicer shot.

 

[deeps]

definately the cover drive! played with tendulkars touch... The square cut is another favouirite shot,as is the pull....but definately the cover drive is the most favourite,and it's beautiful to watch

 

[Craig]

When leggies drop the ball short or around knee height (I'm 6ft 2'), I rock back onto the back foot and play a good pull shot. I'm serve on that.

I usually tend to cut a lot.

 

[nibbs]

the pull shot for sure, and then the square has always been a favourite.

 

[Simon]

i have 2:
the late cut in the air over gully/slips off a left arm quickie when he drops it short.

As well as the off drive over mid off, off an off spinner

* i think i just broke the world record for saying "off" more times than anyone else in a sentence*

 

[Token]

The most elegant shot for left-handers: the on drive.
Beautiful.

I dont play circket anymore, and even when I did I was a bowler, and when batting just would hit the ball as hard as I could, not much of a stroke-maker.

Still, to watch, I think the cover drive played on the up, by a left hander is quite elegant.

And even though I would never advice them if I were a batting coach, I loved the wristy shots Azhar played on the on-side. The would be on the off stump and he would just use his wrists to play it on the on. Very unqiue and elegant.

Any shot improvised by Michael Clarke - magical footwork

Such as the ripper he played the other day against India. Gave himself some space and swatted the ball to the Long On boundary. Brilliant.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Cover drive.

 

[V Reddy]

My fav shot is inside edge to four. I am working on it to make it more dependable!!

 

[TendulkarFan]

Cover drive definitely. The hook and pull look great too when executed well.

 

[Mister Wright]

When I'm in form (which is not all that often) the on-drive is my best shot. Otherwise I'm a compulsive puller!

 

[gibbsnsmith]

my best shot is the Square Cut and i play it often, the standard of my oppostion isnt exactly high IMO.

But i still remember when i played the ***iest cover drive ever, to bring up my first ever 100. 8D

 

[Anil]

Cover drive - both off front foot and back foot...

 

[LankanPrince]

Man, you guys sound like technical wizards at cricket!:P I am unable to play any shot which can be designated a cricketing name. My standard shot is the aerial smash down the ground which usually ends in me being caught out. I want to be able to play a proper cut and pull shots.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Giving rubbish part time spinners the charge. It suits my slogging nature

You just need a lot, and I mean a lot of practice.

You get there in the end

My favourite shot is the pull, closely followed by the on-drive through mid-wicket of a just-leg-side ball, closely followed by the off-drive off the back-foot, closely followed by the same shot off the front-foot.
