The inside edge in the sport of cricket, variously also referred to as the French cut, the Chinese cut, the Surrey cut, or the Harrow drive, is a shot played by the batsman that touches or clips the edge of the bat pointing toward the leg side of the field. This is the side of the bat that is usually closest to the batsman's pads when the batsman assumes a conventional stance facing the bowler. Alternatively, the inside edge can refer to that particular edge of the bat itself.
