Meg Lanning demonstrates the cover drive. Watch how she prepares for the ball and directs the stroke through the off side.

Choose the ball
Notice the line and length of the delivery before looking at the swing.

Move into position
Compare the front-foot movement with the direction of the ball.

Follow the stroke
Watch the bat face through contact and the finish of the shot.

Use the video to pick one feature to discuss with your coach. In your next coached session, record the delivery you faced and where the shot travelled. Judge the decision as well as the result.
