Australian batter hits the boundary with a unique back-of-the-bat shot. In the Marsh Cup, Australian batter Jake Lehmann used an ingenious scoop with the back of his bat.
The evolution of cricket has been rather rapid as the T20 format has grown in popularity. Particularly when it comes to batters improvising to develop new shots in order to open up more scoring areas. From switch-hits to reverse-scoops and lap shots, several shots that were once considered unusual. – Even shocking – are now considered completely normal. On Wednesday, Australian batter Jake Lehmann stepped up the improvisation by hitting a boundary with a scoop using the back of his bat.
Yes, you read that correctly. South Australia’s Lehmann faced Tasmania’s off-spinner Jarrod Freeman in a match in the Marsh Cup, Australia’s domestic List A tournament. Lehmann got down before scooping the ball over the wicketkeeper’s head with the back of his bat after Freeman angled the ball into him.
