Names of different ways of batting a cricketball in cricket?

Answer 1

1. The "Orthodox Cup" method. The hands form a cup shape around waist level that provides a larger target into which the ball can fall. Good technique for catching a shot coming at you around chest high or for catching a ball in the outfield when the ball has picked up speed in the fall.

2. The "Reverse Cup" method. This time, the hands form a cup shape overhead. With a small "hole" in this cup, this allows a good perspective to aim the cup to take an overhead infield catch that hasn't gone too high up.

3. The "Clap" method. Both hands remain separate and only come together at the ball. This usually comes about in slip catches, as it allows greater lateral range for at least one hand to move towards the ball and stop it (since slip shots come very quickly), while the other hand heads over to "clap" and secure the ball.

Note that these are just three different methods for taking a catch in cricket. Different situations may call for different techniques, and innovation is encouraged.
