STRAIGHT DRIVE
- SACHIN
Straight drive is one of the best classical shot in cricket.it is also one of the hardest shot in the cricket.india's sachin is best in this buisness.his shot is the most artistic and talented one in the cricket.Bowlers never like batsmen hitting them past their follow through and this is exactly what Indian veteran Sachin Tendulkar likes as his favourite stroke is the straight driven boundary.once sachin said - "My favourite shot is the straight drive, opening up the face of the bat...no bowler likes to see the face of the bat," Tendulkar said in reply to a query by a cricket lover during a special programme on a news channel.Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar's is the best player of spin according to former Australian batsman Dean Jones.He further said that it is not easy to pick the best batsman "I ever saw or played against, but it is easier is to pick the batsmen who played each shot the best.""Tendulkar's ability to move down the pitch or play the ball off the back foot while playing Shane Warne on big turners was the best cricket entertainment anyone could wish for," he said.

BEST CRICKET SHOTS
1.PULL
To execute a pull shot, the batter needs to extend his arms to swing the bat. The moment before the bat strikes the ball he then turns his wrists towards the ball so as to direct the ball downwards and to the far side of the field;It is a particularly useful shot when the ball is bowled ‘short’, and you have to lean into the shot . By practising your pull shot you can minimise the dangers posed by an aggressive bowler, who won’t be able to take advantage of surprising shots against a batter who has mastered the pull shot.
You can maximise your chance of being able to execute the pull shot by keeping a good, well-balanced stance, and by watching the ball all the way from the bowler’s hand to your bat. If you watch professional cricketers’ pull shots, you will see their heads are always directly behind the ball. Use the force from your swing to make a powerful hit.
2.DRIVE
The drive, or ‘straight drive’ as it is more commonly known, is a powerful front foot shot which is exercised by the top hand with the bottom hand supporting the short in order to keep the ball along the ground. The drive is directed between the cover point on the off side and mid-wicket on the leg side.The drive is usually used when the ball is over-pitched, meaning that it bounces just in front of the batsman allowing the batsman to make contact with the middle of the bat.
3.CUT
Cut requires the batsman to make a cutting movement with his bat across the body. The shot is also known as ‘the square cut’ because the batsman stands perpendicular to the bowler’s delivery of the ball. It is a particularly popular choice with left-handed batsmen because a right-hand bowler tends to cause the ball to angle slightly away from the batsman’s body, making the cut easier to perform. When played correctly, the cut enables the batsman to make an extremely powerful shot allowing him to gain a large number of runs, but it can be technically difficult to master.
4.SWEEP
The sweep is a shot used by many batsman against spin bowlers.. Many players choose to use a sweep shot in response to a weaker delivery by the bowler, that perhaps languishes slightly down leg side.A great sweeper of the ball was Brian Lara,.It is also possible to "reverse sweep" a ball which requires swinging the bat from the leg towards the offside. Mushtaq Mohammed, a prominent Pakistani batsman in the 1970s pioneered the use of this curious and unorthodox shot.

TOP 3 FIELDERS ALL TIME IN CRICKET
1.JHONTY RHODES
Jhonty Rhodes is the cricketer who made people recognize fielding is an art . He is undoubtedly the one of the best fielder in the history of cricket. his acrobatic movement and quick reaction was something unbelievable and real entertainment for the spectators. His could serve his team through his diving power, catching power and above all throwing capabilities. Thus he save many runs for his team. Jonty is the only player who has 5 catches in a ODI match. Though he got chance in the team as a Batsman, he soon became familiar with his trademark diving and extraordinary fielding capacity.
Besides, his batting record is also very good but his batting career could not come into light because of his fielding performance. He has over seven thousand runs in ODI cricket and over five thousand runs in test cricket. Rhodes has 105 catches in his ODI career and he also bagged 34 catches playing just 55 test matches. His some bluders in which Inzamam ul-Haq’s run out in 1992 world cup is special and it deserves to be included in the golden history of cricket as one of the best pictures ever seen in the cricket field.
2.RICKY PONTING
He is one of the greatest fielders of all time, with explosive speed over 10 metres, incredible agility, brilliant hands either in the ring or at slip, and an arm that is as deadly as any that has taken aim at the stumps. The cricket world was blessed to have Ponting, Jonty Rhodes and Herschelle Gibbs all in their prime together, with only a cigarette paper between them.
He is still a force to be reckoned with. A.B.de Villiers has taken the fielding crown, but Ponting is still world class.
3.PAUL COLLINGWOOD
Paul Collingwood is England's best fielder. He is playing International cricket for some time now but never was as stable in England team as he is now. And thus, his fielding abilities are showing. He really has some acobatic skills,speed and catching ability.His some of the blunders has entered as one of the best catches in the odi ever.

SEHWAG -WITH LEGENDARY PERFOMANCE
VIRENDER SEHWAG HAS BECOME THE HIGHEST SCORING INDIVIDUAL IN A ODI AFTER HIS MINDBLOWING PERFOMANCE AGAINST WEST INDIES.HIS INNINGS INCLUDE 25 FOURS AND 6 SIXES.m very happy for Viru
. It is even more satisfying that an Indian has broken my record."
Sachin Tendulkar, the only other batsman to have hit an ODI double-ton to date
"Well I did watch some of that innings by Viru... Brilliant striking!! Congrats on your 219... That's child abuse! [As] The Mask would say, Smoking!"
West Indies batsman Chris Gayle on Twitter
"I say it again! I never saw Sir Viv bat but I've seen Sehwag bat! What a player, 219 in a one day game is next to impossible!"
Sehwag's team-mate Yuvraj Singh on Twitter
"Wow, Test match tomorrow but am still up watching Virender Sehwag score, hopefully, 200. Unreal, and he does [get the] highest ever. Well done mate."
Australia's David Warner on Twitter
"When Viv Richards retired I thought it was end of entertainment. But then came Sehwag, the King of entertainment! Long live the King!!"
TV commentator and former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja on Twitter
"Sehwag, the greatest slaughterer of bowling since IVA Richards."Like most of Virender Sehwag's hundreds, there were records aplenty at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Thursday. The destructive opener already holds the record for the third fastest double-hundred in Tests, the fastest triple hundred (since the time number of balls per innings were recorded), the highest Test score by an Indian, and others.
But numbers will never tell the story of this once-in-a-lifetime batsman. Now, Sehwag also boasts of the highest score by any batsman in a small matter of 3,223 ODIs. Through all this carnage, Sehwag has not done any favours to bowlers over the years. MiD DAY spoke to four great bowlers who were recipients of his wrath:
