When you are stuck in the rear court and there is no option but to boast here are two variation to the standard boast to consider. They tend to be used when even the percentages for the conventional boasts aren't on your side!
Firstly you can go for the hit or bust boast. This is where the ball is struck low and hard aiming to nick the boast out. If you hit the nick the point is yours, if you don't the rally is as good as over!
The second alternative is to hit a high boast where the ball comes back into the middle of the court. You are still in a lot of trouble but you have time to recover to the 'T' and your opponent has time to think! They may change their mind three times and hit your easy ball in the tin!
Either way what have you got to lose!
