Cricketers with dodgy stance

[ramkumar_gr]

There should be so many of them though these 5 top my list.
Any others?

Andrew Jones
Matthew Bell
Derek Randall

Bell was the one I thought of too. Adam Bacher, maybe. Had the biggest back and across step.

Sherwin Campbell.

Didn't have a dodgy stance by all means but the guy shuffled his feet back and forth so many times he inevitably was out of position to play the ball. Usually ended up nicking to McGrath by that stage.

 

[Arjun]

Macca (NZ)

My personal favourite. I remember he tried a square stance once against Warne, but the delivery came so much faster that he changed to a straight one. Then he tried it against Mark Waugh, and the ball hit the edge of the bat and it went straight to Junior, who took the catch. I've seen him do that against Warne yet again, and it worked. He even did a reverse-sweep in that stance against Giles!

Agreed re. Chanderpaul -- while I'm a fan of his, he's not exactly one of your classically elegant batsmen!

Chanderpaul's so strange in that he has spells where he changes his stance, sometimes he's perfectly normal, sometimes really exaggerated.

No-one, incidentally, surely, can beat Peter Willey in the latter part of his career in that regard.

 

[TT Boy]

Herschelle Gibbs, now similarly has a Shivnarine esque stance and it’s probably more exaggerated than Chanderpaul’s currently is.

Daniel Vettori has a very strange stance - rather hunched over for a tall man.

Former England 'keeper Alan Knott had a very square on stance - quite effective but memorable many years later.

I always think Ganguly and Ed Joyce look really odd when they bat though they're not too abnormal.

Mal Loye has a pretty un conventioanl approach due to the positioning of his top hand as well.

 

[grecian]

Larry Gomes had a bizarre stance at one stage, IIRC, think it was latterly in his career.

 

[Richard]

Mal Loye has a pretty un conventioanl approach due to the positioning of his top hand as well.

Loye's one of the most jerky players we've seen of late.

Henry Horton.

Stuart MacGill towards Zimbabwe.

 

[Richard]

Shame someone so insignificant as Stuart MacGill is the only one to support such a thing... if someone important had similar attitudes we might get somewhere...

Interestingly, did you ever go on a Young Australia or whatever tour to Zimbabwe or if not what would your feelings have been were you confronted with the prospects?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Never went on a tour to Zimbabwe, and if chosen I would've went.

The issue for me with the Zimbabwe tours is that teams heading there are seen to be "approving" the situation by not boycotting. What the boycott achieves is highlighting the wrongs that are going on in the country. Unless the whole team decided not to go, which would be very unlikely as few would be really aware of what's going on and I'd doubt many would care (at least beforehand, their views may well change while in the country), there'd be nothing achieved out of one player boycotting as it wouldn't be highlighting to anyone the depth of the problem there, while I'm also of the opinion that denying their youth sides cricket is detrimental to the game in Africa.

Those most disappointed about a boycott would be the U/19 players themselves, I'd doubt the "heirarchy" would care sufficiently to make the boycott worthwhile.
