Dnt try the nets, they suck !
Best place to practice is a test match on medium level on a hard track against a not-so good bowling attack....actually, any attack.
On Drive - Anything pitched up on middle and leg, swinging in towards you, play the front foot on drive as soon as it pitches. Most cases, it goes for 4.
Try the same on back foot if its pitched short.
Cover Drive - Try it after the confidence meter goes up just a little. Anything pitched outside off stump moving away can be hit. Yu have to go a little late on this shot unlike the on-drive.
Backfoot same as above (a little more difficult early on)
Leg Glance - Very easy after a few practice hits. On a hard wicket, anything pictched even slightly short on middle and leg, wait for it to bounce and play the leg glance on the back foot. It will invariably go for a 4 towards fine leg, at worst, you will get 2.
Straight Drive - Difficult initially. You have to hit it as late as possible without missing the ball and getting out bowled. Currently, it best to try it on straight balls only and not on ones swinging around.
Square drive - on the front foot its easy, back foot I haven't figured it out. Front foot any ball moving away (hopefully across the line of the stumps) can be hit just after its bounced.
The trick in 2005 is not to use the same shots you were using in 2004, you have to figure out yur own comfort zones.
Secondly, unlike in 2004, here you have to keep the buttons pressed for a while till the sht is completed.
Happy Playing mate !
