Pull shot

In cricket, the bowlers might bowl you a bouncer and there is a shot you can play to hit the ball called the Pull Shot. Today in my class I have learned the Pull Shot.

When you are playing the Pull Shot, you need to use your back foot not your front foot. In this shot your bat needs to be up, you need to make sure your bat comes across from up to down, you need to put a lot of power into this shot and it is better to hit the ball on the ground than hitting the ball into the air because you could get caught out. Thank you for reading my story today and please look out for my next story.
