"How would you play this ball, Dr. Grace?" "How would I play it? Why, I'd put BAT TO BALL, sir, BAT TO BALL!"

"I wuz ALWAYZ lookin' to hit the first ball fur six!" --Gordy G.

This is all you need to know.
Personal and individual stroke can blend in AFTER these are mastered !

For example this is NOT found in ANY manual !
that so called DilScoop : There is also PADDLES

Individual style out of the textbook also include :
Baldheads with Beards

"Tekneek" according to KKKsauros: 45(x) = (x-y)+a2 x 5(b-c)

"Tekneek" according to timmyj: "Hit...ball...in...frickin'....STANDS!!!

Cricket is not BizBol : 3 'likit' and you are out

this is poor 'tekneek" !
Rohan Kanhai should not FALL on his butt after the HOOK
(ball pitched on pinkish color on my diagram above)
also, the wicketkeeper do NOT need to keep him yeye on the ball hahahaha

Folks, this comment that the Bat is the master of the Ball is so dated
that it should NOT be used ever again !
these days the BALL is the the king of the bat ~

Shiv Chanderpaul rewrote that Bradman statement:
by record crease occupation in Cricket history!
www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2009/mar/...-west-indies-cricket

He is one of only four batsmen to have gone 1,000 minutes in Test matches without conceding his wicket
but is the only person to have done so more than once. Chanderpaul has managed it four times.
No other player in Test history has faced 1,000 consecutive deliveries without being dismissed.
Only he and three others have averaged 100 in Tests in two different calendar years;
he and Bradman are the only ones to do so in consecutive years.
