The Cover Drive

One of the most elegant shots in the game, but one you don't see that

often in Test cricket because fast bowlers don't pitch full enough that often.

'The important things are to get your foot across to the pitch of the ball
and to stroke the shot, rather than hit it too hard.'  Mark says, 'I would
play this shot more to spinners, when you can make a little room for yourself.'

The Batting Tips & Techniques. CRICKET: BATTING

Batting is one of the most exciting parts of cricket for cricket fans.
A good batsman is one who can protect his wicket but at the same 
time score runs. The bigger the shot selection together with fast 
reflexes & free-flowing shots, one can become an excellent batsman.

Shots in batting range from the square cut, hook, off-drive,
pull to the sweep and the leg-glance.
