Vote for your favorite type of batsmen

[subshakerz]

Which type of batsmen generally appeals to your cricket tastes the most?

Accumulator - Perfect technique, perfect defense, generally conservative

Swashbuckler - Timing, flair, all the shots, front foot player, generally aggressive

Master Blaster - Brute force, unorthodox strokes, risk taker, very high SR, generally ultra aggressive

Grinder - Nudger, man of crisis, can get into blast or block mode depending on situation, generally consolidates

 

[MexicanRiver]

Definitely not Steve Waugh, Chanderpaul, Border type disgusting grinders.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Swashbuckler

 

[Coronis]

Accumulator.

Minus the perfect technique/defense caveat. Idgaf how their technique is so long as it works.

 

[Prince EWS]

Somewhere between accumulator and swashbuckler I guess. When I think of accumulators I think of players who take a lot of singles and open the face. I like boundary hitters but I don't like them to be too aggressive because the technique/footwork tends to lose purity as that happens.

Think there is a difference between a power hitter and a boundary hitter, PEWS. Laxman is a very good example of a boundary hitter in tests who has no real power game to speak of.

 

[Daemon]

Definitely prefer grindr, the premium version lets you have unlimited swipes

Laxman is a classic swashbuckler.

Any type which would be the most useful in the match I'm watching while following one team.

I enjoyed bowling to swashbucklers and master blasters. They presented a challenge but took risks that I could (hopefully) exploit.
