    Off Spin bowling

    I wouldn't play cross batted shots such as the sweep to off spin bowling because if your right handed,you play with the spin which can give problems such as top edges. You should play cross batted shots against leg spin.

    Whats the role of No. 3 and 4 batsman

    Generally, I think the first three batsman in the side are openers. Which means you have to be able to face the new ball.Also no.3 and no.4 are the powerhouse of the team.Which means you also have to score many runs and anchor the entire innings.

    Bowling help

    If you wanna get faster you should do a lot of pull-ups...and also when bowling to generate extra pace always use your wrist by flicking it when releasing the ball.This will give you extra bounce and pace.If u want extra bounce then **** your wrist back when gripping the ball.

    What sort of shots should i be playing?

    Well,batsmen who bat at number 4 should have the best footwork in the team.So when your batting make sure you get your foot right up to the ball when driving and you go right right back when you play a back foot shot such as a back foot drive or pull

    Whats the correct bowling technique for medium pace?

    You should make sure you use wrist and not just your shoulder when bowling.When you are just about to release the ball whilst bowling flick your wrist forward.This will give you extra pace and bounce. And ****ing the ball back and bowling would also give you some extra bounce.
