Can we use this thread for sharing tips on how to play certain shots, which shots are productive,etc.?
I am no expert, but I'll give some tips that worked for me.
1. Let's say you've faced a few balls and need to slog (early in ODI, for example): If the ball is overpitched on the leg, move a bit towards the leg and get in line, play frontfoot 6hit on-drive. If no long-on fielder, usually 4 and sometimes 6. Works nice on pacers.
2. ball pitched outside off, short of good length: If no cover fielder, play backfoot cover drive. If cover exists, but no thirdman, play backfoot cut. usually four, if you beat the close-in field.
3. Full overside off: Move to the leg and play frontfoot cover drive early.
