Famous Batsmen You Didn't Like to Watch

[stephen]

Shocking take.......most stylish English batsmen since Gower.

If you like watching a batsman who's main attacking shot is the nick through slips then I guess you're right.

What I like about watching Smith is how all that jerky movements end with him being exactly in the right position to play each ball where he wants to play it. He may still miss it or nick it or mistime it etc. but he is never really completely or laughably out of position which you think given all that movement, he might be. Just amazing.

Yeah I’ve always found Smith fascinating to watch, don’t understand everyone hating on his technique.

I quite like watching Smith. Ironically I can't stand watching Labooshane tho.

Also, @thread : Kallis (gun tho), Chanderpaul (underrated btw) and Sanga (dunno just don't enjoy watch him bat)

Gilchrist and Dhoni. Just a lot of loose hacky swishing.

ok you are allowed to like watching him obviously however surely u don’t “not understand” how someone can watch that and think wow this sucks hard

it’s like i enjoy eating really really spicy food, however, if someone doesn’t (i’ll call them a bitch) i’ll understand why they don’t

Ian Bell probably has the best cover drive in cricket history. Get over it Stephen.

Every time I see Ian Bell it reminds me to watch American Pie again

Pretty sure he's just wishing you luck

 

[TheJediBrah]

He's growing on me tbh

Dhoni only got popular because he stole Kunal Khemu's hairstyle.

 

[Chubb]

Really disliked Hayden. Respected Ponting but also hated watching him bat because you knew if he got big runs Australia would win.

Loved Chanderpaul, just seeing the movements line up every ball, it had its own kind of beauty.

Cheteshwar Pujara

Why am I the only one who thinks this?
Even his cover drive is inelegant.
His bat's motion is always constrained.
