If you needed someone to hit a six to save your life - or maybe just snatch a final-ball victory - you'd probably ask for Liam Livingstone.
The 4CAST star is a true master blaster, one of the most destructive batters in the modern game.
From international limited-overs cricket to the IPL, Livi has kept fans on their toes across the world with his explosive boundary hitting.
And in this special feature, we drill down into the secrets of his success.
"For six-hitting my two biggest things are making sure you've got a set base to hit from, and making sure that all my weight goes back through the ball," explained Livi at the start of his masterclass.
"There are times when I don't hit it that well, and it's when I lose my back hip too early and I stay behind the ball, that's when I end up hitting it in the air.
"So basically I just set as early as I can, and then make sure that everything - like shoulders and hips - goes back through the ball.
"Your traditional cricketer is all about staying side-on, making sure you've got a high front elbow, and I think that goes against what we try and do in order to hit sixes."
Watch the video for more insights from Livi, and to see how our reporter Sam Brandon fared when he donned the pads.
Basically, forget everything you are taught as a kid playing cricket... and just smash it!
