Ardleigh Green Coaching Manual

 

Lesson 1 - The Matador Shot

The matador shot has been perfected by Pipey Harris after many years in the company of the Bull family. The key to the shot is to be totally undecided as to whether to play forward or back, to the on-side or off. Leaving your decision so late can have fatal consequences as you listen for the death rattle of ball on stumps.

You are advised not to try this shot without a red cape.
