Also correct.

And correct again. On a roll!

I don't think any of the current Indian team players have officially spoken out against it though, so I imagine this is just noise and won't actually go anywhere.

The issue has been debated countless times previously with calls for bowlers to have the option of switching which side of the stumps they bowl from — or even changing hand — while batsmen have the same options up the other end.

It has also been pointed out that the reverse sweep protects batsmen from facing LBW dismissals for deliveries that pitch outside leg stump.

“It’s 3:25 local time and I’m off downstairs because your talking rubbish,” Pietersen told Bhogle on air.

Pietersen wasn’t backing down on Twitter.

Bhogle responded: “Absolute nonsense! If you want to switch hit allow a bowler to bowl with both hands. Because something is difficult, it doesn’t make it acceptable.

“The bowler has to inform the umpire if he wants to bowl left handed, the batsman must have the same condition. May the debate continue.”
