slog
What Is The Definition Of Slog In Cricket?
1. An especially powerful shot by the batsman that is intended to send the ball as high and long as possible. This is a risky shot in most cases because the batsman has a higher risk of getting out, but it may result in scoring a six or a four. Batsmen may use this shot to score runs quickly toward the end of the match (also called death overs). It is not considered very favorably since it emphasizes power over technique and skill.
