My memory doesn't match this, I thought past tours we tried to be proactive but it was just very very difficult, though it's possible my generalisation isn't accurate.need to do some analysis on this but I think we're batting way more proactively than past teams against spin. My memories of previous India tours are a lot of nervous prodding from the crease, most of this team are very confident getting down the wicket. Also the reverse sweeps.
Use of the reverse sweep as a strike rotation option rather than as a boundary finder has been a pretty notable addition to most of the batsmen's approaches.My memory doesn't match this, I thought past tours we tried to be proactive but it was just very very difficult, though it's possible my generalisation isn't accurate.
This exception was Taylor, who was horrible with the nervous prodding from the crease, up until he gave up and tried to hit every ball out of the park.
It's really getting to the point where you really have to have that shot as a core staple of your game in these conditions if you want to succeed. It turns an otherwise decent stock ball into a relatively safe strike rotation option and honestly it's hard to think of a better recommendation for a stroke in cricket than that.Use of the reverse sweep as a strike rotation option rather than as a boundary finder has been a pretty notable addition to most of the batsmen's approaches.
That and some very unresponsive captaincy.
I don't think it is actually that safe, every time I've looked the runs per dismissal on the reverse are below average. It's effective because it must be so annoying as a bowler having what used to be your bread and butter stock delivery going for runs, most of them won't hold their nerve and play the averages.It's really getting to the point where you really have to have that shot as a core staple of your game in these conditions if you want to succeed.

if you're a poor player of spin learning to reverse essentially turns the game from "get worked over and eventually caught behind or LBW" to a high variance dice roll, which is a handy thing when you don't have months of time to develop a proper all round spin game.
Just how many runs you make per dismissal playing the reverse sweep.Where are these stats?
Don’t think that’s going to save IndiaRoot-Brook needs to deliver something huge here.
Nah it will.Don’t think that’s going to save England
Yes, and I’m asking where you’re getting this information?Just how many runs you make per dismissal playing the reverse sweep.
Misread your post, sorry. Cricbuzz often post them. Bcci hawkeye database may have this? Kimber did a summary on this in India in a recent live.Yes, and I’m asking where you’re getting this information?
I scrape cricinfo data and load it up in python. Haven't run the numbers on this specific one recently though, last time I checked it was kinda what you'd expect (below average runs per dismissal but high SR)Yes, and I’m asking where you’re getting this information?
