Which shot usually involved either the most risk or most exact technique to pull off well for a batsmen?
Reminds me of those ridiculous shots Dwayne Bravo used to play off Warne bowling around the wicket.Among the conventional ones, an on drive to a leg spinner.
That was very lucky and not really well played compared to Root.
You mean the type Laxman played to Warne? Weren't those inside out offdrives?Among the conventional ones, an on drive to a leg spinner.
Yeah I tend to agree. Especially if played straight.Back foot cover drive.
He played a number of on drives in that 281 innings. Those drives against the spin were some of the best shots one could see.You mean the type Laxman played to Warne? Weren't those inside out offdrives?
Those as well, but he also used to hit him blatantly against the spin out of the rough through midwicket.You mean the type Laxman played to Warne? Weren't those inside out offdrives?
There was an interview with Lara some years ago on Sky in the UK where he demonstrated how he could hit the same delivery anywhere from cover through to backward point. Pretty cool to watch.Lara's swivel pulls in the 90s seemed so flamboyant but difficult as well.
What about an inside out cover drive to a leg spinner? Laxman played such a shot to Warne during his 281. It was ridiculous.Among the conventional ones, an on drive to a leg spinner.
Not as hard as it looks to get bat on ball effectively. It's just so difficult to control and with men out extremely high risk.from the conventional shots the toughest to play well consistently is by far the hook imo
Getting under the ball effectively and then controlling it against a fast pace delivery is very hard.Not as hard as it looks to get bat on ball effectively. It's just so difficult to control and with men out extremely high risk.
