Your Favourite Unorthodox Shots In Cricket

[metallics2006]

What is your favourite? My 2 personal favourites are KP's switch hit, and Sehwag's uppercut over third man that gets six runs most of the time.

Shivs paddle sweeps for six, did it of Harmison and did it of Nel in the Champions Trophy.

I meant the shots that look unique and belong to one player.

 

[Leggie]

Haha..The Windmill. Me and my mates call it the Wagon Wheel ,

 

[Amiya]

Hayden's shot in which walk down the pitch. Scored 18 run in an over using that.

 

[Skater]

Personally I liked the shot Marcus North got out to in the second innings in Durban.

Hayden for me.

Brendon macculum coming down the track than hooking short ball over fine leg for six

No shot belongs to one player, you think that KP is the only one that can hit that shot?

 

[max_dillon2007]

Dave warner cna hit that shot as well as kp

 

[surendar]

I liked Dhoni's reverse straight drive ( He played it only once against Pakistan ) and Astle's forehand shot like Tennis which he played against Aussies.

Warner's switch-hit is completely different to KP's. Warner uses the back of the bat, and his movements are nowhere near as exaggerated as KP's. Warner's never hit it in International cricket either, KP has, and hit it for six. Far more impressive than playing it in Grade cricket in NSW.

Obviously it's KP's switch hit for me, although McCullum walking down the wicket and hooking the fast bowler for six is a close second. With KP's reverse sweep six of Muralitharan in 3rd. That Dhoni windmill shot is immense as well, such incredibly wrist work, love that stroke.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Gilly's golf shot. Look on youtube and search "Gilly Goes for Gold" and you will know what I'm talking about. It's like half reverse sweep, half on drive, but directed toward midwicket.

Let me rephrase my sentence. Shots that were not played 15 years back?

Not many would have seen,ut my favorite would be Uthappa's walking down the track six.
I can remember him do that one agianst B.lee in the CB series I guess.Did many other times too.

 

[Prithvi]

Mine is Uthappa hitting a six off some Australian bowler in semis of T20 world championship.
Yuvraj and Uthappa were playing at that time. That wassa yorker bowl.He put down the bat and just he gave some potentian to the bat. That was gone Directly above the sight screen in Durban.
I think the bowler was S.Clark
