Drive shot with Ross Taylor

Like every shot you need to keep your head still, eyes level and focused on the ball
As the bowler delivers the ball, swing the bat straight back straight and keep your hands in close to the body, cocking the wrists
At the same time step toward the line of the ball, dipping your shoulder and bend your front knee to keep the head down
Your back leg should be straight and the back foot anchored
Swing the bat down straight to hit the ball with the full face of the bat beneath the eyes
Follow through in the intended direction of the ball so the arms are fully extended and the bat finish high
You can practice this by putting a ball in an old sock or stocking and tying it to the washing line. Go on – have a go.
