In fact they would come last.. I reckon SA or the WI would win, if they dropped Chanderpaul

I don't know about Watson, but Sanga sure is a good player to watch, only bettered by an in form Ian Bell which is the best IMO.

Jayawardene at full throttle is simply gorgeous too. And Sangakkara obviously.
Laxman and Tendulkar are probably top of the chart for me though.

Dravid > Tendulkar for me, marginally.
It's a toss-up as to whether I'd prefer watch Sri Lanka with Sangakkara and Jayawardene (in the days of Atapattu, better than either, it was an easy choice) or India with India with Laxman and Dravid.
Wasim Jaffer's presence perhaps provides the casting vote.

tbh I always thought mark waugh was always a lot better to watch than steve waugh.

tbh whats annoying about watching vaughan bat, is the fact that he has that really irritating chin strap dangling around all the time, never tucked in, also although he's good to watch when he's going well, he is terrible to watch otherwise, he always seems to get bowled by really average bowlers (rana naved ul hasan for example)...and often looks like a really terrible player for it, i remember when he got bowled by rana, the stumps were smashed out of the ground, and vaughan himself was left in a ridiculous looking stance, with his legs miles apart and looking completely out of place...a shame that such a good player can on occasion look so poor.

he seems to get out like that quite a lot, such a dismissal is always accompanied by the same frown, opened mouth, shake of the head, off comes the helmet, and ruffles his hair, always...

A straight yorker bowled at 141kph often does the trick...

He plays the occasional shot ie a straight drive, every now and then which makes you go WOW....
He is awesome to watch imo

Haha don't get you, 87mph is more than quick enough to get through the defences of even the most skilled batsman.

tbh i'd say that at the end of a long day, after putting together a good score, it would be excusable every now and again for a top class batsman to get out this way, as an accurate yorker in the high 80s is a decent delivery, however to get out repeatedly in this fashion would indicate a player who is not of the highest ability imo. Mind you, Vaughan tends to get out like this fairly often, or at least seems to get bowled a lot, but yet I still rate him....he just cant scrap to save his life.

Agree with Richard, if you can't handle a straight, non-swinging yorker at 87mph, you shouldn't be playing as an international batsman.

Scoring runs on a tarmat doesn't count IMO.
