I've never understood how coaches think they can teach a guy to sweep confidently in a few net sessions though. It's such a high risk shot unless you're covering the bounce, pitching on leg or outside off. But mainly u need to cover the bounce and NOT predetermine, which is so not easy.
Re: 2023 WCQ | non-Zimbabwe matches
Guys like Flower hit hundreds of thousands of sweeps and had an aptitude for it. Some guys just can't, no matter how many balls they hit.
Re: 2023 WCQ | non-Zimbabwe matches
Willing to bet Edwards goes out sweeping.
Re: 2023 WCQ | non-Zimbabwe matches
A double step for one is a much safer shot.
Re: 2023 WCQ | non-Zimbabwe matches
The ball isn't turning a mile. If you use your feet and get to the pitch, you can play Hasaranga (if you can't read his googlies off the hand).
Re: 2023 WCQ | non-Zimbabwe matches
BT and Williams play/played too many sweeps in my opinion. It's just a higher risk shot even when you're adept at it.
Re: 2023 WCQ | non-Zimbabwe matches
Even a reverse you don't have to predetermine. Just go for it if you see it outside off. 99%predetermine it though
Re: 2023 WCQ | non-Zimbabwe matches
You have to think on Sunday if we see Hasaranga off we have a chance. You have to think the only way that's possible is if Williams and Ervine face most of his deliveries. If that's the case then I'm not against a top 3 of Kaia Gumbie and Wes. Sounds like a dramatic change but unlike all the other games we have played, Sunday will be decided in the middle overs
