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. |

| In the current game it is Laxman beyond any shadow of a doubt |

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. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

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

| 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. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

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!! ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

| 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 |

Allan Donald once said.. "You need around 20 good length balls continuously .. to make him confused an get him out." He is most stylish batsman..well i havnt seen Viv Richards..batting.. -------------

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 |

What are you talking about? Saeed Anwar's 194 is the highest ODI score in International cricket. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |
Posted By: marto
Date Posted: 13 January 2006 at 3:18pm
| well, i have to say that the most stylish batsmen that ive seen has to be damien martyn. he times the ball perfectly and makes shots look so easy. his cutting is so well played. for example in a odi match about a year ago he cut a ball for 4 when it was half way up middle stump, how good is that. |

| Cairns played against Leicestershire for Lashings last season. When he was batting he was facing a spinner and blocked the first couple of balls. The commentator mentioned the respect he was showing the bowler - then next ball Cairns just did nothing more than a casual flick of the wrists....sending the ball back over the bowlers head, over long on, over the boundary, over the sight screen, over the stand and into the car park! |

Dravid bores the hell out of me. The most stylish are M. Yousuf, Y. Singh, V. Richards and D Martyn. I also like Inzi's hooks and 6ers and Laxman's 4s are awesome. ------------- |

I didn't say that it had anything to do with sytle. You said that he was boring, so i was trying to indicate that not all boring batsman are rubbish. Just if you wanted to know, i think that dravid is the most stylish batsman anyway. |

I was just looking up somethings and saw that Dravid was not very stylish compared to others. I change my decision to Tendulkar. He is very stylish. So is Ganguly. His off-side drives, Tendulkar sweep and leg glance. ------------- |
