Best Slog overs basher

[Jono]

If their eye is in come the slog overs, Symonds and Razzaq are lethal.

However if they have just walked out there with say 5-6 overs to go, can't go past Hussey.

South Africa have a few good slog over bashers in Van Der Wath, Boucher, Kemp and Pollock. Australia has Hussey and Symonds who IMO is the best slog over basher. There are a couple of other good sloggers like Dhoni, Flintoff, Razzaq and Afridi but if any one of the great ODI batsmen (Ponting, Lara, Tendulkar, etc) are around at the end of the innings they are capable of slogging in the last couple of overs to lift the team total.

McCullum isn't the biggest hitter by any means, but has an uncanny ability to get the ball to the boundry when he needs to.......That 21 ball 50 against aust springs to mind

To best fit the title, I`d put Razzaq.

 

[Poker Boy]

Lance Klusner - uf we're talking about the end of an innings. btw, I always thought he got a raw deal in the '99 WC SF - he screwed up the last run but if he hadn't hit 31 off 14 balls before that moment we wouldn't remember that match - Australia would have won easily. Mind you SA have a pretty good Klusner clone in Kemp - in the last 10 overs he can be a KILLER.

Trouble is Kemp can also be dire in the last 10 or equivalent, he produced some really innocuous innings for Kent in the Twenty20.

The thing is with McCullum we can only really refer to that one innings although he has shown that he can do it before. Him and Marshall together scoring singles is quite effective as well.

I completely agree with you, he needs to show it more and I beleive he may have a chance to do so if he gets to bat up the order a little bit more. Probably not going to happen until after the WC when Fleming and Astle probably retire and he could occasionally get a go at Number 3. Marshall and McCullum are very, very quick between the wickets. Probably the two fastest in New Zealand although Lou Vincent wouldn't be too far away.

I'll add to the number citing Razzaq and Symonds. At his best, Razzaq is absolutely awesome - although occasionally, inexplicably, I've seen him retreat into his shell and play fairly defensively, even in that last five over period. Dunno what that's about, maybe he just really needs to be "on".

 

[Prince EWS]

I really can't go past Razzaq.

I have to say that, I literally laughed at loud when I saw someone post Katich.

 

[cristal]

I'd say Afridi.

 

[aussie tragic]

"Best ever", surely this has to be either Lance Cairns or Rod Marsh

 

[cristal]

How about the old Viv?

 

[Go_India]

i would say its easily sehwag.

 

[cristal]

Sehwag is good at it at any point of a match!
