Afridi is the most exciting batsman in terms of how fast they play. He hits huge sixes and everything to excite the crowd but he doesn't last. If he could last longer, he would by far be the most exciting batsman ever to bless cricket.
I'd say the most exciting batsman is Gilchrist. |

He almost scored a century in the second test but got out at 93 I think.

Afridi is too inconsistent to be exciting, he gets a good score once every 7 or 8 innings at the least. Lara, Gilly or Ponting for me. |

Thats the thing about Afridi. He is just not consistent enough. He is way to aggressive and doesn't care about anything but hitting every single ball out of the ground.
Lara and Gilchrist are both very exciting batsman. |

East or West Sachin is the best. In real pressure situations he has come to his best. Take into any world cup since sachin was playing. He was at his best and will be best for the forthcoming series against pak. He has teared part shoaib and nobody actually count the number of pieces.

Murali wins hands down!! He has ONE shot and plays it to every single delivery - when he connects , it soars!!
Nobody to touch the wide-eyed-wonder!!! |

Well every body talks about AFRIDI and Shewag but i like Gilchrist because he is the only player espacialy in one day cricket who can destroy any bowling line up.he is the only player who smashed fours and sixes even on the bowls which looks unplayable.In test cricket no one can compete Brian Lara espacialy when he get started after 50 runs.Players like lara, Crains, Mohammad yousaf, Ponting, Sachin, Inzi and many others who are techniqualy correct are more dangerous and more exciting than the batsmans like Afridi and Sehwag.Whenever Afridi try to stop the ball correctly he gets himself in trouble. No doubt on his day he more dangerous than others.

I reckon sehwag is the most exciting because although afridi is the
biggest hitter, he gets out stupidly more often than he actually has an
exciting innings, which makes him kind of annoying to watch. Sehwag
however, is more consistent, which makes watching him all the better.

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 |

Yea, because he's obviously going to close his eyes and try and hit it straight over the bowlers head, but eventually he'll miss and get clean bowled.

Afridi has been the most exciting recently. He hit a century against India in the first test and is going for another one in the ongoing one.

ahhh symmo kick afridi anyday youd rather watch a slogger other than powerful classic cricket shots and lofted sixes over cover even jaysuria beats afridi probaly even ricky ponting any one can swing a bat and gte lucky on occasions e.g afridi averages 25 at a strike rate of 107 symonds averages a touch under 40 with a strike rate of 90 and he has batted extremely well in the last 3 years and is thr 3rd best allrounder in the world |

Actually, I am sure that Afridi was actually trying to make a good score instead of just slogging.

Because he is a tail-ender and he bats lower down the order. He is not even capable of hitting a double century.
