How To Hit The Sweep Shot

Sport : Cricket

Once this was rarely seen, now - due partly to one day cricket - it is a very common batting technique used against the spinner.

However the spinner doesn't tend to mind it, as it is fraught with danger if the batsman mistimes it, because of course they are playing across the ball and breaking the traditional idea of batting as straight as possible.

In this motion, the batsman gets forward with the front foot and almost kneels on the ground.

The lift of the bat is hight and it comes sideways over the ball and so therefore it is critical that you only try against the right length of ball.

Ensure that your pads are stopping the ball from going into the stumps should the worst happen and you mistime the shot and don't connect with the ball at all!
