Its got to be a fast bowler having to take evasive action because you've thundered a drive at his head so quick he can barely see it! ------------- Offspinner, Right Arm Bat |

I've just noticed the question says favourite stroke against a spinner in which case it would defo be the reverse sweep. Why the hell do people make polls where you can vote more than once, its stupid. ------------- [ |

Read it MP12, I'd like to see anyone over about 4ft hook a spinner, then again, Warne can bowler a bouncer, so I suppose it's possible ------------- |

A cover drive is always good. As if you get it right, you're mostly playing against the spin. So it feels good. :)

the topic of the thread is called your favourite batting stroke but the poll title says favourite shot against spinners. Sorry I guess i should have read all of it. You cant exactly do a hook shot to a spinner but you can pull them if they bowl short. ------------- |

it is a bit odd and I wasn't having a go, I only read it after my post, but I like playing spinners anyway, it's always a challenge (unless they're rubbish) ------------- |

| To me its a toss up between the forward defence and (slog) sweep. I just keep defending rubbish balls and spinner thinks he can keep me tied down then along comes a super rubbish delivery and Bam! (slog) sweep |

I generally attack the spinners unless I cannot afford to get out at any costs, my favourite strokes off the spinner would be a slog sweep or i just run down the wicket and smash it back over the bowler's head. ------------- On extended leave... |

| Square drive against an off spinner or flick through mid-wicket against a leg spiiner feels great, because it de-moralises the bowler if you execute it to the perfection |

yeh i love that shot against the spin though midwicket to a legy, its almost like a forwad defensive but using your wrists to guide the ball through the leg side ------------- check out the ultimate spinners guide - spinny.co.nr |

| Scratch the Square Cut. The Leg Glance is my favourite shot there starting to fly down past fine leg for 4. |

i love the cover drive, it's just when the ball hits right on the meaty spot of the bat and you feel that it's definetly four all the way i just love it when that happens. but for some reason i used to be perfect at playing leg glances but once a fast bowler hit me straight in the leg and i was wearing no pads ever since then i always end up gettin muddled up with that shot so i just now run down the ground and smash a lofted drive doesnt always work thoe

Against an offie, just backing away and exposing the stumps while the whistling blade caresses the ball away. ------------- Judge the player not by their stats, but by their opposition. |
