Most elegant batsmen

[Zinzan]

I'm not necessarily after batsmen with the best average, most runs, most 100s or even hardest hitting but just simply the most elegant, graceful and Classical to watch.

Those who bring real pleasure to the eye.


For me a few that spring to mind are...

Martin Crowe
Mark Waugh
VVS Laxman
David Gower
Greg Chappell
Stephen Fleming
Damien Martyn

 

[a massive zebra]

Laxman.

 

[Zinzan]

Oh I forgot to add Mr Wristy -Mohammad Azharuddin

 

[Josh]

M.E.Waugh be my vote.

 

[GotSpin]

mark waugh

 

[Marius]

Darryl Cullinan and Andrew Hudson. Even Shaun Pollock can play some very nice looking shots. If he had concentrated on his batting, he would be averaging over 40 in Tests now.

i personally liked watching Saeed Anwar play. Pretty elegent and flowing.

and also mark waugh.

 

[ReallyCrazy]

The nick "Hyderabadi Stylist" suits him so well - IMO its VVS Laxman.

PS: I made a similar thread a year ago

 

[Mister Wright]

Laxman
Love
Lara
McKenzie

 

[Richard]

[Swervy]

For me, there is no better site than Michael Vaughan in full flow with his cover divers, off drives, pulls, cuts, straight drives... beautiful.
