Hooking The Ball

The batsman kept hooking the ball to the square leg boundary. The captain called to the bowler and said, 'This fellow really has your length, I think I can get him so I'll take the next over.'

When the captain bowled the batsman drove the ball firmly through the covers and it rattled the fence.

'Ah,' said the bowler to the captain, 'I see what you mean. You wanted to make him change direction!'
