After seeing Dave Warners switch hit on wednesday i dont think it should be allowed. Firstly it is unfair for the fielders/bowler as once he changes his stance the field is all wrong for the team which means slip becomes leg slip and so on. In the laws of cricket once the bowler runs in to bowl the fielding team can not change there field. And bowlers cant pull out of the deliervey when they see the switch hit. Also do we want players to use this in Test matches because at the moment they can Secondaly I know people say that only david warner can do it but in 5 years time every T 20 batsman will be able to use the switch hit. Also if it keeps going on juniors will be started to learn this new shot. Which means that alot of juniors will use this in junior cricket which will be unfair and not right. I have nothing against the reverse sweep. I just think that changing your batting stance really isn't fair for the fielding side as when people get more confident with this shot they will be using it once an over. So the MCC should really look at either stopping this switch hit or either allowing fields to change their postion once they see the batsman try to use the switch hit just to make this exciting game of twenty twenty cricket more even.
