Yea i have used it a few times. Its a risky shot though, especially with a slip or gully in. I might head to the nets to try and perfect it later.

its so hard to do tho, im using luck at the moment to connect with it. do u do it holding the six button?

Isn't it just a normal sweep shot you can play, and not technically a reverse sweep?

For reverse sweep:

Shift+S+Up arrow+Side arrow

ie. Front foot late-cut with shift pressed.

It's the easiet shot to play for me, to get runs with no slips. Exactly as he said, Power Boost button, and up and left (for a right hander) or up and right (for a leftie) and front foot shot. Easy.

But does that just sweep the ball to the batsman's left for a right hander and the batsman's right for a left hander? Thats a sweep shot. Isn't a reverse sweep when the batsman flicks the blade and chops it left if he's a leftie? Strauss has done this a few times (got caught in a recent ODI).

No, what Steve Harmisson does a lot, when he sweeps the ball, but reverse ... switching the position of the bat so it goes down the off side,

He is clearly right handed, but reverse sweeps it, it's easy showing someone, not explaining if you see what I mean?
