The sweep and the reverse sweep are two batting shots which are not commonly used, especially the reverse sweep which is rarely used. However both shots can be used in certain batting situations and are an effective way to score runs and keep the score board ticking over......To play the reverse sweep, get in to the same position as for the orthodox sweep, however this time, bring you bat down and across from leg side towards the off side, so you are aiming to hit the ball through the gully area. This shot requires very good coordination and timing as you have to twist the bat round so that the bat face faces the off side at the point of contact without altering your grip......in real cricket i admire Andy Flower of Zimbabwe as the most reverse sweep batsman or kings because he plays a shot right as well as he times the ball perfectly to every parts of the ground....In this context i have to say about Kevin Pietersen of England the big hitter in that side who gets into an awkward position for playing a shot and plays the shot perfectly.....In the SriLanka tour of England series he plays an extraordinary reverse sweep of the legendary spinner Muralitharan and lifts the ball over long on for a six.... Other batsman included in this content are Kallis of SouthAfrica, Sachin of India and Campbell of Zimbabwe....If you know any other players please comment?.....
