How do I play sweep shot?

Community Answer

You can sweep shot more for off spinners. As the ball of off spinners comes to the stumps and not to the legs, you can hit it with with more power. You can play the sweep shot more for flight balls. It is easy to pickup the flight ball with a sweep shot.

How can I play Dhoni's helicopter shot?

Community Answer

You have to practice this shot with a tennis ball first and then you should follow these three steps: 1.you have a very high back lift of your bat. 2. Then swing your bat like golf stick. 3. Place your front feet a little wider. Practice these steps several times and you will surely master the HELICOPTER shot soon.

Question

Can we sweep shot a full-length ball?

Community Answer

It's harder than if it was a short ball, as you could get a bit tied up; it's better if you can extend your arms fully.

How do I do wicket keeping?

Community Answer

In cricket more concentration is needed for wicket keeping. You have to keenly watch on the ball, and you need more concentration on the type of ball.

Question

How does the bat face at point of impact in a sweep shot?

Community Answer

You must middle the ball for best impact. If you are a right-hander, than the bat faces the fine leg after the follow through is complete. When the bat and ball connect it faces the region between square leg and midwicket or either of the two.

Question

When should I play the late cut?

Community Answer

For a spinner, the best time to play the late cut is when the ball is pitched a little shorter than the usual length so that if you were to leave the ball, the ball should just go above the stumps. If it's shorter than that, you should straight up pull the ball as you might edge the ball, and a little fuller might get you bowled. Make sure to play this only with the ball spinning away as the one coming in narrows the angle, which might get you out. The line should be outside off. Make sure to play the ball as late as possible; this will give you the best angle with which to play.

Question

How do I play on my leg side and how do I play bouncer ball?

Community Answer

Just move backward. If you are the shortest, you hit the ball towards mid-wicket. If you are taller, you hit the ball mid-on or mid-wicket.
