Yeah I hate the new found trend in reverse sweeping, seeing a lot more country cricketers try it as well.
Not that it is an effective shot at country level, im yet to see anyone hit a run from it but I really think it goes against the spirit of the game, especially given cricket is meant to be the gentlemen game.
Any coach worth their salt will ensure they teach kids a solid foundation and that starts with a good defence. I do like the modern day philosophy around letting natural techniques flourish. Whilst it would be nice if we all had the perfect technique as long as we get into a good position at the time of contact with the ball it really doesn't matter how you get there. I like Steven Smith's theory in that everything he does before hitting the ball is about feeling comfy, he feels comfy, he feels confident, he feels confident his feet move and his positive.
