A horizontal bat shot. Once the ball is seen short and wide of the off stump.
Getting that backfoot close to the stumps in line with the off stump. Free your
arms and get those wrists to close on top of the ball, face of the bat on top
of the bounce of the ball. Keep your head steady.
Its Simple:
Quickly transfer your weight on to the back foot but remember to keep that head on
top of the ball. Do not drop your head back, you will lose control of the shot.
This is not an easy shot to control. It’s a good idea to get tall on the balls
of your feet again, and try to get your eyes on top of the ball. Always advisable
to play the square cut down. Important to get that back lift high initially once
you see the ball short helps greatly in keeping the ball down. Use the bottom hand
and wrist of the bottom hand more than the top hand. This is a bottom hand shot.
