The simple thing here is that nobody is going to post something that you can find in the manual.

From the rules:

11) Use your manual: This forum does not support piracy and anyone suspected of having an illegal copy will not receive any help. Please do not therefore post requests for any infomation that can easily be found in your manual as you will be automatically suspected of having an illegal version.

Just look at the controls section, it'll be easy to understand for anyone who can read.

block shot = defensive shot

 

[pal]

all of those mean exactly what they say..

front foot shots, you play with the front foot

back foot shots, you play with the back foot; examples - pull shots, hook shots

advance down wicket shot - you come down the pitch towards the bowler and play a shot

defensive shot - you just block the ball basically, so u can block it off your front foot or your back foot..

examples of what they look like:

back foot shots - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/cricket/skills/newsid_3267000/3267391.stm

front foot shots - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/cricket/skills/newsid_3247000/3247064.stm

Defensive shots:

1. back foot: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/cricket/skills/newsid_2063000/2063858.stm

2. front foot: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sportacademy/hi/sa/cricket/skills/newsid_3236000/3236406.stm

so basically you chose what shot you want to play and then use the arrows to choose the direction in which u want to hit the ball...
