What is the most difficult cricket shot to successfully pull off?

[Burgey]

No one's near as good as Bradman was, though JB is probably the best credentialed cricketer on these boards by a large margin.

Stuart Broad

I love those too.

Here's the best one I have seen by Viv.

Yeah that ones great. This one by dravid off murali has always stuck in my mind as a ridiculous shot. It's just a flicked lofted cover drive and it goes miles.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Obviously this one by Rohit too.

Great looking shot but Viv's is better because it's off a slower ball and he takes it from leg stump. It's so difficult to time.

On the other hand, is the leg glance the easiest shot to play? There's minimal risk involved apart from a leg side strange.

It's pretty easy provided your head doesn't over balance towards point and you flick it in the air, as I may have done quite a few times over the years.

Or if it's pacy and you catch a nick down leg

woeful

 

[Brook's side]

I mean, I could comfortably clip it into square leg's hands. But I don't think that would be because my head would be falling over to point.

Same result admittedly. And you are probably a better batsman than me.

the drunken glance

leg side strange.

Gonna get me some leg side strange

That Blackfoot lofted drive Mayer's played off Cameron Green last summer looked crazy. Glenn phillips played a very similar shot.

Remember smith once backing away to expose all 3 stumps, charging down the pitch to Trent boult and hitting a ball well outside off over cover.

The nutmeg is quite tough

Most insane shot I've seen. Too bad it was in a meaningless nothing game of cricket

great example of modern bats too. In 1985 the same hit is caught at cover on the ring

leg side strange Vs blackfoot drive, huh?

Vs

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.

In more recent times, I find the cover drive for six impressive, working against all sorts of momentum to hit the ball up and over and needs perfect timing and power.

Viv Richards used to hit those so effortlessly

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

I love those too.

Here's the best one I have seen by Viv.

There’s one he hit during his 189, where the bowler followed him as he was making room and nearly delivered a yorker on his pads, but he hit inside out for a colossal hit

 

[JBMAC]

Easily caught behind?

If you aren't even giving tricky chances, then you're nowhere near as good as Bradman was.

Tell me who is????
