What?I believe it is the cut shot. But the shot has improved since the amateur days, didn't ya know? Today if you play a cut shot well and place it well, you get 4 runs but back in the amateur era, you ONLY got 4 runs..
/thread.Heard he once put a bullet through a Dingo's eye at 150 yards, without harming the baby it was chewing.
sorry, should have included the sarcasm hashtagI don't think he would have played it less skillfully tbh. His technique looked pretty sound from what I have seen.
From memory that was because of the pitches and safety equipment. Playing on the back foot allowed more time to adjustWasn't he a predominately back foot player? That's unusual as almost all the great batsman of recent times have been front foot players.
