Oh that was Wasim Akram, no debate.

I don't know. Lillee's appeals from what I've seen were pretty vociferous.

 

[Daemon]

That's actually a cloned Lillee appeal.



With one or two chromosomes missing, obviously.

Chimps have got 48 ftr.

Mirrror, mirror on the wall, whose the Daddy of 'em all?

lol good post OSP

Both Wasim Akram and Shane Warne could appeal pretty vociferously

Shivnaraine Chanderpaul x 5
MS Dhoni x 1
Lasith Malinga x 3

Exactly. Lillee was the originator, all the rest are just imitators. Some good imitators, but none exceed the original.

 

[Daemon]

tbh theres nothing original about it, it's an instinctively natural thing to do if you're appealing vociferously

• Sehwag
• Trescothick
• Lara
• Tendulkar
• Richards
• Cairns (RFM)
• Gilchrist (WK)
• Akram (LF)
• Warne (LBG)
• Muralitharan (OB)
• Garner (RF)

Of course, there's the guilty pleasure of enjoying brutes in action, but I tried really hard to leave them out.

 

[Howe_zat]

Best appeal imo

Interesting you name Sehwag & Tres. Both quality stoke players who I enjoy watching immensely, but neither possessed of what the coaching manual would call a classic technique.

Both rely more on weight-transference than orthodox footwork.
