CRICKET SHOTS

PULL SHOT :

         

This requires the movement of the hips and a lot of power and this can send the ball far in the air towards the leg side with a horizontal bat.

BACK DEFENSIVE STROKE:

This stroke is played to a ball pitching short and bouncing knee high or above .                           Ball  is played under head. Bat vertical but angled downwards so that ball is not played upward.

                     

THE FORWARD DEFENCE STROKE :

To prevent a good length ball from hitting the wicket . The ball should not bounce as high as the knee. Maintain a good balance by keeping head close to front shoulder and over the bat

                            COVER DRIVE :

This is hit on the off side not with power but with sheer excellence, so this shot requires a lot of practice.

           STRAIGHT DRIVE:

This shot also somewhat like the cover drive but it is hit straight back to the bowler. It can be hit either in the air or on the ground. To play to a half volley which pitches approximately on the line of the middle stump.
