A classic backward defensive stroke from opening bowler-turned-opening batsman, Chris Bowmer.
	Oh dear! Unfortunately, it proved to be down the wrong line.
Here we have a similar effort from opening bowler-turned-number 3 batsman, Mark Neil.
	Unfortunately, it was a similar result!
And now to our genuine opening bat, Mike Bristow ....
	Guess where they kept bowling to him ....?
.... any clues in the shots he's trying to play?
	.... got it yet?
Got it in five! At least the leg-side fielders were interested.
	At last! One he can leave alone outside the off stump.
And now .... for the coaching manual. First the high backlift.
	Next the clean execution and timimg.
And finally, the classic follow through. Nice shot, Mike.
	Now a little bonus. We weren't sure whether "Chadders" (aka Steve Chadwick) was signalling a boundary or testing his hand for the tremors.
