We could just leave it with 'The Shot'. Left handed batter, David's signature stroke can be played to almost any delivery (or so he says). Resembling the shot of a man whose arm and upper body movement are constrained by a plaster cast the bat swings round his planted front leg towards square leg. This risk ridden shot usual works at least a couple of times before the bowler straightens up and the timbers are felled. With the ball David is a useful left arm finger spinner who bowls his straight-breaks with a lovely high action and delicate changes in pace. The variation David provides has been a key tool for the OLCC in the field. PRS
