THE 'SHOVEL SHOT'


Learn how to do the shovel shot

Innovation
One-day cricket is constantly evolving with teams looking for new ways to 
 Pick up that extra wicket.
Brendon McCullum of New Zealand and Pakistan's Rashid Latif are among the exponents of a new innovation - the scoop sweep, or shovel shot.
If you fancy giving it a try then we'll tell tell you how. 


Keep your eye on that ball

Step 1
Spot the length early and get into position.
Open the face of the bat to the point where it is parallel with the ground.



Step 2
With head bowed and in the crouching position, use the bat as a ramp to lift the ball 
over your head or left shoulder.
Good luck perfecting this shot and building big scores!
