Re: Kevin Pietersen and the art of 'switch-hitting'
I feel its a pretty complicated issue, needs to be given a lot of thought. There is also the question of the definition of "switch hitting". I mean if the rules are going to be changed, then I can see batsmen arguing that I did infact switch hit or not depending on the outcome; or vice versa with the bowler arguing depending on the outcome. And I see the definition you have posted GA, but I can see arguments coming up on the field. Also it just seems very complicated for the umpire to decide that it was switch hitting and not a reverse sweep shot etc.
I think the easiest way is to not allow it like dhobi bhai has suggested, but I really don't see realistically that strokes can be/will be banned.
Anyways, gotta give credit to KP for that. Brilliant stuff, although left a big mess.
