The Sweep Shot-(Played to a good length ball from a spinner)

Front foot stretches outside the line of the ball, back foot goes down parallel to the ground, high back lift with the bat coming horizontally and over the bounce of the ball, follow through finishing over the leading shoulder.




Its Simple:
A very effective and important shot against spinners recommended to be played with the spin. It’s unique in a way that it was most ideally played against a good length ball. You can imagine what effect it must have on a bowler that his best ball was swept for four! Important to judge the length of the ball, avoid playing this shot to an over-pitched or a short delivery. Covering the stumps with your pads just in case you miss the delivery is also important. Vital to have high back swing to get on top of the bounce to avoid getting the leading edge. It can be a very risky shot if not played well. Highly recommended for one-day cricket.
