flair in batting

lol! one thing i noticed in this thread is e'one finds their own teams' batsmen to be the most stylish and have lots of flair.

flair to me (being sri lankan) is how fast a batsmen can score runs playing in the most orthodox fashion. flair to me is a batsmen who gets my adrenalin pumping! :D

mark waugh, lara, nathan astle, jayasuriya, kluesner, symonds,aravinda,inzamam,sewag,hick are my picks!

what about Tendulkar? (btw i am Trinidadian)
i'm in chicago havent seen tendulkar play in ages! :D
however the last i saw of him he had curbed his natural style, i feel ganguly is more aggressive than sachin! just my opinion :)

Yes, 1/211 in 45 overs on a spinning track where Anil took 12 wickets. In the first inning karthik went for 122 runs in 19 overs.

I hadn't checked his figures, I was just astonished that given Harbajan's figures, that he'd done worse!

Why do people rave about Sarouv Ganguly's offside play? I think Dravid once said on the offside there's Ganguly then there's God. He clearly hadn't seen Damien Martyn bat - now that is poetry in motion.

Yep deffinatly Martyn can be awsome through the offside on his day.

His preffered shot to hit sixes is the cover drive not many players can say that.

i should say that the most stylish player ever was Saeed Anwar... currently i think sagakkara, mahela and atapattu are top stylish players too. also not forgetting Vaugn, Dravid, Straus, and ofcourse Gibbs.

We seem to be attracting a lot of rather aged people these days. Another 130-year old!
