Brian Charles Lara!!!

I don't agree with W.G. at all regarding rating Jessop even somewhere near to Sir Donald, but only to the extent that mentioning Jessop here is fair enough because the man has got good enough statistics to be called an achiever despite having unorthodox batting style.

These achievements look great, no doubt, but I would say the man was unlucky not to find so many test matches to prove his mattle and to be rated amongst the best of the batsmen; that's why I was surprised at the first instance. Even thought I still wouldn't rate him above Sir Donald Bradman even in the first class, I got your point, the thread is about the achievers with unorthodox technique, no matter whether it's first class or internaltional cricket, so to mention him with the highest achievers is fair enough.

So is Inzi, who doesn't really move his feet much these days. He's basically an eye player with a superb timing. However, one can quote the example of Sehwag, who lacks in feet movement and is suffering a lot due to this technical flaw. He really needs to improve in this area or he's out of the scene.
