Back and across with real depth, decisively, keeping the top-hand elbow high enough to bring the bat down over the ball rather than at it. The weight has to stay controlled into the shot rather than falling away toward leg. Scored only on deliveries you played back to. Three criteria, 12 points of 100.

These are the criteria as amp scores them. Reading your own footage against them is free and always will be — what amp adds is doing it the same way every week, so the change between one session and the next is a number rather than an impression. Apply for the pilot.
