Batting (cricket) square-leg rather than to mid-wicket. It is almost exclusively used against reasonably full-pitched balls from slow bowlers, as only then does the batsman have time to sight the length and adopt the kneeling position required for the slog sweep. The front leg of the shot is usually placed wider outside leg stump to allow for a full swing of the bat. A upper cut is a shot played towards third man, usually hit when the ball is pitched outside the off stump with an extra bounce. It is a dangerous shot which can edge the batsman to keeper or slips
Square root of a matrix root". An example is the matrix formula_11. In general, a complex matrix with positive real eigenvalues has a unique square root with positive eigenvalues called the "principal square root". Moreover, the operation of taking the principal square root is continuous on this set of matrices. If the matrix has real entries, then the square root also has real entries. These properties are consequences of the holomorphic functional calculus applied to matrices. The existence and uniqueness of the principal square root can be deduced directly from the Jordan normal form (see below). For a 2 × 2 matrix, there are explicit
