What is the agricultural shot in cricket?

The agricultural shot is the wild slog of the ball, usually over midwicket or over square leg. It is executed by a swing of the bat across the line of the ball played in a crude manner, and without much technique. This may also sometimes result in some earth being scooped out when the bat hits the ground. It is so called because a farmer might execute such a shot in a scything motion, and this was the sort of country cricket played earlier.
