    "editor1": "<p>Delhi Capitals&#39; batsman Shimron Hetmyer says the team&#39;s head coach Ricky Ponting has &#39;done one hell of a job&#39; in improving his pull shot at the nets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The West Indies batsman had smashed 45 off 24 balls in the win over Rajasthan Royals on Friday, hitting his first six with a pull shot that was deemed perfect. This was his first innings of note in this edition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It&#39;s been fun to be around Ricky. A very good guy. He is right now working on my pull shot,&quot; said the 23-year-old Hetmyer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He has observed that in the last few games, people have been bowling short to me. So far he is working on my pulling and he has done one hell of a job with me. He is teaching me the art of being a better finisher and I am getting there gradually.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ponting, who played most of his cricket on fast and bouncy surfaces in Australia, was one of the best exponents of pull shots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hetmyer has struggled also because he has been asked to go after the bowling right from the start. &quot;What I try to do now is to ensure that every game, I have to hit a six. At least, one six. (I am) working towards that at moment.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He added that this role is new for him and he is still struggling to come to terms with it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I am still working towards getting better with each and every game.&quot;<\/p>\r\n",
