Note to self: Before playing reverse pull try it in the nets.

I give you a big thumbs up for even trying that shot in the game

that looks like a shot our juniors play because they don't want  to hit offside in the normal way.

 

I don't get it though, why not just pull it, instead of reverse?

Hey crownmethod,

Here is a link to Jonty Rhodes playing the reverse pull.

http://www.sportphotogallery.com/shop/store.php?crn=196& rn=1477&action=show_detail

Its like a reverse sweep only that the ball bounces more and thus pulled rather than swept of the legs. This shot can only be played off slower or medium pacer bowlers.

Mind u, if u attempt this shot off the fast bowlers, u will get hit.

Very funny

Chaps,

The inventor of the reverse sweep is Javed Miandad - back when he first started it - it did look like a flamboyant and outrageous shot. He is also invented the reverse pull against the medium pacers.

However the slog sweep was invented by Steve Waugh - who is also credited with the invention of the well disguised slower ball.

Cheers

Boonie

Jonty Rhodes was great with all sweeps the slog sweep,paddle sweep and of course the reverse sweep.

I've tryed practising it in the nets hard to get right best played against leggies as long as you watch the ball for every second until its been hit you can hit the ball

Didn't Jonty Rhodes hit a six playing a reverse sweep? Maybe he is secretely a left hander!?
 
I know many of the Zimbabwe players as children who were taught to bat with their opposite hand so that there stong hand would be on top (e.g, Alastair Campbell was a right handed, but was taught to bat left handed) this is one reason why they might be better at the stroke. Also Hussey as a kid used to be a right handed batsmen but reverted to being a left hander to emulate his hero Allan Border.

David Houghten, Flower brothers, Jonty, Martyn, Hussey have been the best exponents of the stroke.. I find it is an easy stroke to play, but useless, as the power you get from it is poor and it is not that easy to control.. Better off mastering the conventional sweep and learn other strokes that are useful.]]> Fri, 28 Apr 2006 08:20:51 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1615&PID=46402#46402 Reverse Sweep : yes jontywas a great player of... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1615&PID=46391#46391 Author: jumbo

It's a great shot if the field placing allows it. Not many teams set fields with a fielder there for the shot, but it is definately a risky shot.
