"To hit six on the long-on side press (Z) when the ball is on your leg. Never glance a ball which outside off-stump because it will result in a edge to the slips."
Kumail Murad

"When playing off-spin, never drive on the off-side unless you feel comfortable you will hit it for six, most of the time cut it. When you do, you must make sure it is well outside the off stump so you can allow for the spin. If it is just about straight, you have to glance it, just press Z after adjusting your batsman's position to allow for the turn of the pitch."
Tom Ralston

"Although I used to think that hitting a 6 with 'z' was impossible, it can be done. You need to press 'z' quite early on the (<) side off a fast bowler"
Graham Jones

"To get a six, always use a drive shot, never a glance. On the leg side, line the heels of the player to the centre of the circle and press (A) just before the ball bounces. On the off side, you need to give your man room to open up the shot, so leave some space between the player and the target circle before hitting a drive. Always try to hit off the leg side, its much easier to aim. Still, timing is the most important thing, so just practice"
Jay Armstrong

"I asked my dad for a can of Carlsberg which I drank before the game, read the other tips on this page and totally batted my way to sucess in each and every scenario!"
Mitchel Cashmore

"Once you have reached your target number of runs for the over, play it safe and only use the Z key on the leg side. This avoides loosing a wicket unneccesarily and keeps you on track. However on the off side give it your all!"
Dan and Alex

"When the ball is bowled to the right (>) move the batsman, so the back of his heels are roughly in the middle of the target circle, and then play a cut/glance shot (Z key). Most of time this results in a 4."
Danny Taylor

"Hitting a 6 is all about timing! You need to line the batsman up for a drive and then hit it perfectly. To do that, you need to press the A key JUST BEFORE the ball bounces."
Neil Jamieson

"If you want to hit a six don't go right near the ball cause it will just hit the knee pad. So you MUST be 2cm away form the ball marker before driving the ball."
Azeem Ali

"When the ball is coming to your left (<), as soon as the ball bounces, press the A key on your keybourd. It won't work all the time, but most of the time, you will get a four or six."
youssef rahmatullah

"To hit a 4 the best way to do this is to wait for the bowler to ball to the right of the batsmen now move near to the ball but don't go over or on the ball marker stay just to the left to it the drive the ball."
Azeem Ali

"Sometimes it's better to play a leg-glance (Z key) and go for a 4 instead of going for a six and getting caught out."
Darren H

"If you don't have time to position the batsman for a drive or a leg-glance it's often better to play safe and just place the batsman directly behind the ball and play a defensive shot. Better to play safe than to get out unnecessarily!"
Asif K

"To hit an almost certain 4, wait until the ball marker is a decent distance outside off stump and press z just before the ball bounces and play a sort of square cut shot."
Liam Holt

"If you want to hit a six over the mid off fielder, (if the ball is pitching outside off stump) move the batsman adjacent to the ball marker and press 'a' button.

If you want to hit the ball for a four through mid wicket move the batsman 2 centimetres right to the ball marker and press the 'z' button."
Deepu R Nair

"Everything is about defence and attacking; 6's can be achieved if you want your wickets to tumble down quickly, whereas defence and 2s and 3s are acceptable for beginners. If you achieve 2s and 3s mostly, you are on your way to hit 6x6 in an over or 200 as an average."
