ONLY ROUTINE ON THE WEEK-END SOFTBALL LEAGUE PROGRAMME

To master this is essential for executing other back foot shots. Here let me state the obvious-the ball that you play back to is one that cannot he reached by playing forward.

One of the great features of Leonard Hutton, England's opening, batsman, is that he is a master of this particular shot. That is why on a sticky wicket when the ball is kicking, he is head and shoulders above contemporary English players.
