On Drive:

    • The on drive in played to a ball over-pitched on the leg stump.

    • This has been considered to be a difficult shot to play. The basic principles of a drive apply here too, though the swing of the bat is an arc from slips to mid - on with both the feet pointing down the wicket.

      The front foot should be placed outside the line of the ball with the shoulders turned and the impact is just in front of the left toe. The follow through is generally checked below shoulder height.
