English term or phrase: cover drive
Hola, tengo una breve reseña de cricket. ¿Alguna sugerencia para "cover drive"?

Ganguly, joined by Lord's centurion Ajit Agarkar, took over the proceedings and played a crisp drive straight down the ground. With minimum fuss, he ended the Hoggard over with another cover drive. He wiped the cobwebs off his stroke-play, cover-driving the English seamers to distraction. Spotting the ball early and playing it late, he cracked White for another cover drive. Even a vicious bouncer from Hoggard that smacked him on the back of his head under the helmet failed to halt his fluidity.

Muchas gracias,

Explanation:
...y en algún lugar estará, pero tengo la sensación de que esto no se podrá traducir. Cover es una posición una persona ubicada en el campo con la intencióm de recoger la pelota. Drive es un golpe (que seguro ya sabes), por lo tanto un cover drive es un tipo de golpe hacia está posición. También es la forma de golpear la pelota...

Explanation:
The cover drive is played to an over pitched delivery which is pitched outside the off stump. The shot can be risky since it is played across the line of the ball in the direction of the cover point.
