Who invented the ‘hook shot’?


Who invented the ‘hook shot’?

The invention of this stroke is credited to E.M Grace, the brother of W.G. Grace. This batsman’s stroke is used to deal with short-pitched delivery when the ball is rising. To play a hook shot, the batsman moves back towards his wicket, and strikes the ball with horizontal bat in the direction of square leg.
