Cut shot

Back foot across to a short, wide ball, and slap it square with a horizontal bat.

Beta: we're less sure how well one camera can judge this move, so treat the scores as a rough guide.

Set up your camera

Phone side-on to you, where point would stand, about 4 metres away at hip height. Shadow bat: no ball needed.

Your whole body, head to feet, needs to be in the picture. The coach will remind you if it can't see you.

How to do it

  1. 1Stand side-on and lift your bat high.
  2. 2Imagine a short ball bouncing wide of your stumps.
  3. 3Step back and across towards it with your back foot.
  4. 4Swing the bat across flat, like a slap.
  5. 5Roll your wrists over at the end to keep the ball down.

What the coach watches for

  • Roll your wrists

    The bat finished high, which lifts the ball in the air. Roll your wrists over to keep it down.
