I saw an interview with him, and he did explain it a lot like the guys above - basically he pre-meditated a reverse sweep, but at the last minute realised the ball wasn't in the right area to play the shot, so he adapted it

He seems to have that self-confidence/mental strength/touch of arrogance/call-it-what-you-like that Pietersen and Bopara have. He looks comfortable at the crease and has lots of shots.
