Sweeping Regularly Is Not The Answer To Playing Good Spin Bowling, Says Ian Chappell

By IANS News February 26, 2023 • 21:08 PM View: 1127

Former Australia captain Ian Chappell believes regular use of the sweep shot is not the only way to survive against spinners on pitches in India. He added that a batter needs to have good footwork and get runs through the gaps to thrive on playing Tests in sub-continent conditions.

"Sweeping regularly is not the answer to playing good spin bowling, and anyone who says so is talking through his hat. The odd player is very good at sweeping and should utilise the shot, but for the majority there are better ways."
