I have to say Sehwag...I can't believe Gilchrist isn't one of the 5. I would love to vote for Afridi but as I've mentioned a 100 times, he isn't consistent enough. I call him a slogger.
Sehwag is a fast player, he is explosive, and exciting to watch. |

I would go with Sehwag as well.The way he plays, he can destroy an
attack in seconds not to mention how excellent his strokeplay is.
Why is trescothick there? I dont think he is a very exciting batsman. HE is good, but not exciting |

yea, he is a good batsman but not really exciting. If Gilchrist was in that list, I would vote for him.

I made the poll ... don't like trescothick as an exciting player ? who would you prefer was there ? ... gillchrist ? Once again ... im no expert i just ilke cricket and have limited knowledge of the game... tell me if someone is more explosive.
I happen to think Afridi is the most exciting BECAUSE he is not consistent ... infact he in consistently INCONSISTENT.. MADDINGLY inconsistent ... but TO ME that's what makes him exciting...
Afridi ... like Mr Gump said of life... "... is like a box of chocolates, you never know whacha gonna get ." Forest Gump |

On his day, Trescothick can be just as exciting as Afridi/Gilchrist or whoever. I will find some evidence of this and post it shortly. Here we go: http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/129793.html 86 off 55 balls. Not bad, eh? More ODI hundreds than other Englishman too, for the record. Edited by -JP- |

Gilchrist is a very exciting batsman. He is explosive, aggressive, and consistent. To me, consistency really matters.

Gilchrist is my choice and Sehwag 2nd. Flintoff is also an entertainer. Did you guys see West Indies opener open up against aussies in the all star game., forget his name now,but he is an entertainer,

The Sultan of Multan, or as we say it in Urdu, "Multan ka Sultan" is Inzamam-Ul-Haq, not Sehwag. I don't know who gave him that title, but it's Inzamam who is from Multan.

Andrew Symonds.... 152 off of 116 (i think that many balls) against NZ just last week is no mean feat... and he is consistent... Sehwag and Gilly are definetly the next 2 though |

Yea, Gilchrist is very exciting to watch and so is Sehwag. Sehwag has very less foot work and that sometimes goes against him.

This poll is missing Gilchrist, Hussey, Kemp and Smith. It is therefore void.
|
|
|
JH Kallis is the only player in history to have 8000 runs, 200 wickets and 100 catches in BOTH forms of the game. Only Sobers (tests) and Jayasuriya (one dayers) have achieved half that feat.

Yea, Gilchrist should certainly be in there. He is a very exciting batsman. The other's you mentioned should also be in there.

Compare Afridi, Sehwag, Dhoni and Tendulkar,s most exiting innings, forget about consistancy, I believe Afridi ranks the best, But dont forget Pieterson, Flintoff, Razzak, Cairns, Jayasuria all of these have proven themselves time and again. Well Gilchrist has done the same so many times, most exciting no doubt. |

If you look at each aggressive player's best and most aggressive inning, then Afridi's ranks highest, but if you look at how many times they have given us excitement, then Gilchrist ranks highest.

The Pakistanis and Indians are soooo byast towards Asian Batsman/Bowlers and are always voting for them in the poll when clearly there are other choices which are better.........all I hear about in the Batting Threads is Inzimam-Ul-Haq.......Its getting Annoying now.

If u want entertainment Afridi aint the man coz of his inconsistencies he does not always perform, thus doesnt excite, u go to the cricket to see him and he gets a first ball duck, bowled middle stump. Choose a real batsman to entertain u

Why does every1 keep overlooking andrew symonds and sehwag???? yes afridi may have a high strike rate... but who cares when he only ever gets 20 or 30 with the occasional 50... there is nothing spectacular or exciting about making 20 runs from the 1st three overs and then losing your wicket straight away... He is i have to say one of the most overrated players in the game... If you looking for excitement Symonds or Sehwag are clearly the 2 batsmen to look for... they consistantly score a decent (when i say decent i mean 50's) amount of runs... and at a strike rate of 98/99... no it's not as high as Afridi... but it sure is a lot more exciting because it lasts longer... and happens a lot more often.... |
