@imusic
reminds me of Hooper great footwork and exquiste drive to the boundary
@imusic
You guys standards are so low,
no wonder Windies cricket so poor.
This T20 cricket got players and fans forgetting what cricket shots are.
Real critique,
- Playing away from pads,
- Too uprights when playing the shot.
- Running down the wicket and not getting to the pitch of the ball.
- Not playing close to the body.
- Bat came from slips to onside, instead of from straighter to offside.
- Batsman balance was way off.
You see, some/most of you correlate result to strokes.
That was a boundary, which equals good result.
Not great shot.
And we wonder when batsmen get out playing such shots or not make centuries.
Looks at Shai Hope, Williamson, Root, to name a few modern day batsmen.
BTW: I do not have an issue with celebrating results,
but don't get confuse swipes with great shots.

How does she rate against her gender? The fact that there was so many flaws yet...😀...not to mention her last name.

some people try way too hard to attempt to display superiority

You Really See Hooper In her Shot
I put Hooper batting in YouTube and this is the first thing that came up.
It's an insult to the great Hooper.
Please look at Hooper's footwork.
How close he got to the ball when running down at the spnners
How straight his bat was, and the follow through.
Now that is batting.
I'm sorry that some of you forgot what genuine bating is.
This Lick-it entertainment nonsense is not batting.
Yes it has it's place, but it should nt be confused with batmanship.
I'm just keeping it real.
Why are we comparing ginips to avocadoes? In the context if T20 cricket, this is an excellent shot. Eboni chose to stay legside of the ball because she wanted to open up the offside in very much similar fashion to Viv opening up the legside and the cricketing purists called it at the time "playing across the line."
Stop this binary thinking. The game has evolved to include ramp shots in test crricket...must those of us who enjoy the game in any form grade these shots on a classical curve?
