I think Brain Lara is the most stylish and elegant player in modren cricket.M.Yousuf is not bad too.He is no.2 in my list.

The most stylish is defiantely Damien Martyn, he also makes batting look very easy. Lara has a weird stance and backlift, it is certainly not stylish.

throughout the cricket history leftys have been most stylish, players like david gover, bran lara, saeed anwar have been most stylish, as far as rigty are concerned it was zaheer abbass, dean jones, and damien martin real stylish, On full flow I believe B. C Lara rate the best amongst the current lot.

1. Brian Lara 2. Rahul Dravid |

Of those who are playing cricket, Dravid would be my pick. However if marto was playing still he would definetly be no.1, he made batting look so very easy... |

Ummm....its been a while since 'Yousuf Youhana' changed his name to Mohammad Yousuf.
Mohammad Yousuf is a very stylish batsman. Saeed Anwar was a very stylish batsman as well. |

Laxman is cool too, but the most stylish is beyond doubts Braian Lara

Damien Martyn , Mark Waugh (wish he wasnt 40, could still be playing!) and Brian Lara are fantastic to watch.

Mark waugh was an elegant batsmen, I personally liked him and david gower as my personal favourites, but lara due to his unusual backllift ranks most stylish even by cricket pundits!

I would say that Lara is the most stylish. Mohammad Yousuf was also stylish.
Saeed Anwar was stylish. He loved hitting through the off-side. |

Saeed Anwar was a very good opener. Shane Wanre said that Saeed was one of the best openers he bowled to if not the best and was very satisfied when getting him out (becuase he was very good). He also has the 2nd highest ever ODI score of 194. |

I'm surprised by all the entries and the lack of one name - Sachin Tendulkar.
Style comes from playing late , seemingly effortlessly and all around the wicket off any kind of bowling. Quick feet and the ability to hit over the top also dazzle the watching public. There are good players with most of these attributes , but a Tendulkar in full cry is almost poetic. Lara blungeons attacks - wonderful stuff , but it's not particularly stylish! Left handers DO seem prettier , Gower was beautiful , Sobers and Pollock too(but more brutal!) , but Tendulkar SOOTHED me when in the zone , he's simply awesome. What's amazing is he's done it for over 14 years!! Edited by Sledger |

Yes Sachin is also stylish but only at the time when he drives the ball on the up.No one can play leg glance like Lara Infact lara is one of those players who have more shots on each ball.

I reckon ponting is quite stylish. I love the way he flicks the ball around. Lara and Sarwan are high on my list as well.

My two favourite Batsmen:
Jacques Kallis is a very solid but destructive batsmen and not to mention he can bowl as well. I also like Michael Clarke for his amazing batting talent at such a young age |

I saw Gibbs batting together with Laxman in a Twenty 20 game last season and take my word for it, compared to VVS who batted so beautifully, Gibbs was left to look like a stodgy chancer even though in real terms he actually played quite well |
