Explanation

A straight drive is played with a straight bat swinging in a vertical arc, driving the ball past the bowler. This differs from other drives: cover drive (through cover region), off drive (through mid-off), and square drive (through square region). The vertical arc and direction past the bowler identify it as a straight drive.
