-
This shot is played exactly in the same way as an off drive but with
the difference that the front foot must point down the wicket and the
body must be turned slightly and the shoulders opened out to allow the
free swing of the bat.
-
Care must be taken to see that the full face of the bat moves down the
line of the ball at impact.
