Leg side play

Re: Leg side play

I know a few of my mates who struggle because they get their foot too across and it hits them on the pads.

Re: Leg side play

I mostly play on the leg side using my wrists. I'd probably flick the ball towards square leg.

Re: Leg side play

I have a massive problem out side leg. When it's too full to pull, I miss it everytime. I refuse to take leg stump guard too, stuff that.

Same here, I always miss the sweep but I get the reverse sweep easily. + I'm much more comfortable with. With the sweep, the pads get too much in the way.

I have the same problem, i find it incredibly hard to sweep. It may be because i'm fairly tall, but my pads always seem to get in the way when playing the conventional sweep. I can play the reverse sweep ok, in the net, but i'd never try it in a game, mandatory £5 fine if you get out playing the reverse sweep

Re: Leg side play

I got out twice last season trying to flick the ball to fine leg, on both occasions I got a leading edge and was caught. I mainly put this down to indifferent batting surface I played on, but if I had played straight in the the V i probably would not have got out.

Shot decisions therefore depend on many factors i.e. pitch, bowler, pace, field settings, ability etc. etc.
