Title: Sweeping
Post by: Mr Cricket on January 01, 2010, 05:53:39 PM

What are the vital characteristics of playing the sweep shot and slog sweep to the spinners?

i have never really used this shot, but i would like to bring it in to my game as there are a lot of slow bowlers who i will be facing next year

cheers!

without soundy cocky I don't play this shot alot (trying to play stright) but when I do play it I middle it, it's about getting a big stride in, getting your pad inline with the ball and picking the length mainly. Using your bottom hand helps, and you want to play it when it pitches.
The sweep slog I haven't played, but looking forward to it this year xD
