Hi Michael, I was wondering, what does 'flat batted' mean. I hear it loads on the radio and I was just wondering??!!

Hi Ben. 'Flat bat' is a similar style shot to that of a pull or a hook, only it usually is directed between mid on and mid off.

Q.
Hi, I just want to know about the initial foot movement a batsman should take before the bowler delivers the bowl, I normally take one foot back or sideways and mostly attempts to play off the backfoot, is it a good idea, please send me some tips...Thanx.
Niranga
A.
Hi Niranga. It is really down to the individual what foot movement he makes, but the most important thing is that as the ball is delivered you remain still. Hope this helps.
