I don't like KP, but it was a good shot, and he didn't break any rules, people just think its not "gentleman" like.

Cricket is getting a lot of coverage lately due to the IPL.

big shot cant believe they wanna ban it

I like it but i find the reverse sweep much more better and skilled. They dont wanna ban it, they said they are going to allow the shot because the player has to be skilled to do such a shot and adds excitement to the game.

Its a good shot but i'd feel like a wanker if i got out after hitting a ball after doing the switch

people were protesting that it would be hard to judge LBW and wide balls.

Yeah but the shot got approved by the MCC which makes it legal to use
