Graeme Hick in Action
Notice with all Graeme Hick's shots how well he presents the full face of the bat at the ball and how consistently straight his backswing is initially over off stump.
While Graeme Hick is an exciting attacking player with the ability to improvise and hit the ball into gaps in the field, the basic four percentage shots, front and back foot defence, front and back foot drives are all performed with a very sound basic technique.
For Graeme to have been such a successful all round player, breaking numerous records within first class cricket, he has built his flair and scoring shots around this solid sound technique.
