I agree.

id rather watch symonds bat plays powerful strokes over cover for six and shots like that really are exiting and he can hit them just as good as afridi, they are both attacking but symonds only puts away bad balls and then puts away any ball at the end of the innings. afridi goes for anything and that explains why his average is (23)

so symonds his the most attacking batsmen in my opinion

afridi attacking slogger (it isnt a fluke but it takes luck or it has to be his day to make a hundred)

Afridi is good. But why you can't include jayasuriya in to this list.He had 10,000 runs with srike rate of just about 90.He is pleasure to watch.

I agree. Sehwag in full flpw is also exciting. Maybe not as exciting as Sfridi but he makes 26 runs an over man.

Afridi's batting does get very annoying because he only hits one good inning per year! He has been on the International stage for more than about 10 years now and until now, he still doesn't even have a total of 10 centuries. But his best innings are certianly very exciting to watch. Still, I would not rate him as the most exciting anymore!

My next choice for most exciting batsman is Adam Gilchrist or Andrew Symonds. They're both exciting to watch. Symonds is just a pleasure to watch!

Symonds is guranteed to hit the ball hard every over. Not only is his appearance very distinctive he can hit the ball hard

Brian Charles Lara for test match cricket, because of his ability to make bowling attacks pay.

Adam Craig Gilchrist for one day internationals, because of how powerful he is when he strikes that cricket ball.

The most exciting batsman are those who can always get their strike rate above 100.

i think the most exciting batsmen is afridi because you know as an australian that australia are going to win the match so when he bats theres either gonna be a hit out or another cheap wicket

It is obviously Afridi. Lets be honest he is the best ODI plsyer in the world. The speed he scores runs is an asset to any team and he is a handy bowler
