Cricket is like tennis. Think about it… Think about it…
Not mentioned in the video explicitly is the fact that hitting the ball in tennis is referred to as a shot or a stroke, just like it is in cricket. For example: In tennis, there is a backhand shot and forehand shot, which are known as groundstrokes. In cricket, there is the pull shot and the cut shot as well as the different types of drives, all of them known as strokes. There is also the volley in tennis and the volley or half-volley in cricket.
This is just the tip of the iceberg in my cricket batting theory. More to come in due time.
Last but not least, kudos to Suds for being a machine behind the camera, recording the session while standing at silly point. He took a miscued drive flush in the shoulder on the second cricket ball that was sent down for me to hit at 5:53 in the video. The badass barely flinched. Balls of steel Suds, balls of steel.
