Im a left hander at it is one of my best shot when in form, you know your in good knick when you hit a clean straight or on-drive. What people struggle with the on-drive is that they over balance and fall away towards cover-point. Its like any shot, balance is so important.

I think that Ponting is a brilliant on-driver, probably the best in the world at that shot today. When he hits that shot and stops trying to hit is square you know a big score is coming.
