How to play yorkers?

[shuhair]

You can do nothing but block them?

 

[schase]

Well, you COULD try reverse sweeping them, but that probably is not advisable...

 

[f0bstyle]

advance and play on drive, leg glance, or straight drive

 

[Darac]

yeah.... id stick to blocking unless you really need runs. a tip though, bowl them to the comp and see what they do.

 

[madmattg]

As said before doan advance on drive or cover drive. If timed correctly will result in runs, or at least a defensive push.

 

[sachin]

always advance and play straight down the ground (only).i usually try to hit them for six.

 

[madmattg]

If I try to hit with power on, I air it.

Never had any luck with the advance smash.

 

[Sadistic_Shyte]

Yeah, neither -- I just on-drive them along the ground.

 

[groobz]

yorkers are great, easy single down the ground every time. I have trouble playing yorkers bowled by spin though, i get caught and bowled often

 

[barmyarmy]

I usually try and flick them off my legs but I get lbw occasionally.

 

[squiz]

Lately I've been charging them, and not 1 has got through

 

[groobz]

Squiz try charging them earlier its a free single every ball. What about Spinner yorkers? i have trouble with them

 

[squiz]

groobz: What i was saying, is that I've been charging lately, and not 1 has got through my defence, unlike when i play On-Drive, and block. But i still play On-Drive with spinners

 

[groobz]

ahh ok i get it!, i get caught quite a bit playing advance ondrive

 

[jonah]

Yeah me too groobz, often to a great diving catch at mid-wicket. Must be in the timing .
