They're 3rd in the world, and that was really quite comprehensive. Also, those reverse slog sweeps for 6 are fantastic, but I still prefer the inside edge for 4. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, June 15, 2008, 20:08:21 its a poor new zealand side really isn't it.

Title: 1st one dayer Post by: janaage on Monday, June 16, 2008, 07:53:08 As not much of a cricket fan can someone confirm whether this reverse sweep of KP's has never been done before? I'm sure in my limited viewing of a few one dayers/Twenty20 matches I've seen other batsmen have a go at this shot.
Ready to eat humble pie if wrong but I'd have put money on that I have seen it before. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, June 16, 2008, 08:38:18 Technically it wasn't a reverse sweep because he swapped his stance from right-handed to left-handed.
I'm sure Colly has hit a few similar reverse slog sweeps in recent years. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Bogus Dave on Monday, June 16, 2008, 08:51:39 Didn't botham used to play it way back when? I dont think its a recent shot

With the calendar of international matches being so varied you really have to sustain a position for maybe 18 months or so before it can be taken too seriously. Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Boeta on Monday, June 16, 2008, 11:24:27 similar shots have been played before, but the way kp does it is unique

Title: 1st one dayer Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, June 16, 2008, 11:51:36 It will be once everyone gives up on the Test game to concentrate on limited overs matches.
