I won146;t try KP146;s 145;reverse146; six hit: Ponting

8220;I8217;m not sure how they8217;re really going to govern that. It8217;s obviously a great skill, if he8217;s hitting a couple of sixes doing it. Once again, it8217;s just something that will be inside the bowler8217;s mind all the time,8221; Ponting was quoted as saying in the Sydney Morning Herald.

8220;The bowler running in won8217;t know which way he8217;s going to hit it. It just puts more pressure on the bowler, and as a batter in one-day cricket that8217;s what you8217;re trying to do,8221; he added.

Ponting said although his batsmen are quite capable of striking such switch-hits but they would rather stick to tradition then try such an improvisation.

8220;It8217;s probably something historically that we haven8217;t been that good at, improvising that much as a batting group,8221; he said.

8220;We8217;ve managed with our own skill to be able to hit different areas. But there8217;s no reason why any of our players can8217;t do that. A few of us muck around with doing it in the nets, and Symo Andrew Symonds sort of uses the back of the bat when he plays his. We are probably more deflectors when we reverse sweep rather than six hitters.8221;
