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!

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.

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

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