Combine the skills of two bats to make the GOAT

Joe Root and Bill Ponsford.

Take Root's consistent starts, but replace his terrible conversion rates with Ponsford's tendency to score big when in.


Edit: best troll option I think is to replace Ponsford in the above with Jason Gillespie.

Graeme Smith and Joe Root. This will create the most punchable face in cricket.

Ponting's pulling and hooking / Tendulkar's driving
interesting take. if we're going by players super adept at certain shots(or scoring in areas of the field) Phil Hughes' cutting and general offside ability combined with either Jon Trott, John Crawley, VVS or even Azharudin's wristy legside play could be a good mix

I would love to see a combination of the bat speed that Amla generates via his wrists for offdrives with the raw power of a Viv type player. Not sure it is possible, but we would see 150 meter sixes if it were.

Like the idea of a Smith/Viv combo. Extreme flair with extreme concentration. One has an elite front foot game, the other outstanding on the back foot.

V.Richards + A.Border = Domination + Determination, Power + Pugnacious, Ferocity + Responsibility

On a slightly different note, 2 ATG players who have done it together for an extremely long period of time, Tendulkar and Dravid. Decade and a half !

yeah but Dravid doesn't add a whole lot to Sachin in terms of technique - mentally maybe.
