Yaar, defending a penalty corner is all about timing and trusting your team. The first runner charges the flicker, the second covers the angle, and us post men on the line — we are the last wall, we stop what comes through. But the obvious answer is to just stand there and block? No, you have to *feel* the shot, react before you even see it properly. I know this because every morning at the Gandhinagar ground, my coach makes me face hundreds of flicks — my shins are always bruised, but now I can tell from the striker's stick sound where the ball is going.
