Otherwise mediocre players who were aesthetic af

[mr_mister]

It wasn't orthodox but I loved Craig McMillan's battle aesthetics

Nicky Boje and Nathan Hauritz. I think they are the two most aesthetically pleasing finger spinners. Both had butter-smooth actions and Hauritz got some crazy drift.

Jeetan Patel

That's a good shout.

KL Rahul

I remember Chamara Kapugedera having some sublime shots in the VB tri series (as it were) but perennially underperforming thereafter.

Looked like a very promising prospect. Not sure what SL have been doing with their recent teams, too many changes and knee-jerk reactions. They haven't found anyone close to Jayawardene, Sangakara, etc.

As of now, Josh Da Silva unfortunately.

Tanmay Mishra had this knack off looking he was about to drop a Hollywood innings only to have already gotten out by the time you dashed into the snack pantry and came back with your popcorn

Darren Bravo. Lara-esque batting style. Sadly only similar to Lara in style not in skills.

 

[honestbharani]

Stuart Williams used to bat like a right handed Lara.

S Fleming

Flem was better than 'mediocre' under any definition of the word. He was a very good Test batsman.

Agreed. Fleming's batting was definitely on par with Damien Martyn in terms of elegance, but he has some pretty solid knocks that are grossly underrated. His 174* against SL comes to my mind, that game was simply Murali vs Fleming and he got the upper hand.

He is talking about Flem's slip catching.

There was a post about great slip fielders and was just adding Fleming's name - not about his batting.

S Fleming

I wouldn't call Fleming mediocre tbh. At least, by NZ standards, a fine bat.

 

[BazBall21]

Wasim Akram's batting!

 

[BazBall21]

Yeah Fleming was above average.

Kagiso Rabada the batsman
