Of all the variations on the drive... the cover drive strikes me as the front-foot shot of choice when the bowling is seam-up. That said... no drive played off a seamer can surely come close to dancing down the track and working a first rate delivery (accurately, and in a controlled manner) against prodigous spin.

Of the rest... one would hope that no-one would choose the pull, hook or square cut (as they are all a bit too agricultural)... and I trust that any mention of the sweep (and especially of the reverse sweep) is basically a wind-up... leaving the late cut (surely the most exquisite of back foot shots) and the leg glance (far less satisfactory as it cannot, as a rule, be played off a great delivery).
