I've always liked to judge a players batting technique once their set; once they've scored about 30 runs. At this point one's batting technique flourishes, and scoring shots are played- and from a spectators perspective that's the best to watch !
 
Given my view on batting technique I'd like to nominate three players. (Currently playing test cricket).
 
- Stephen Fleming
- Kevin Pietersen
- Ricky Ponting
Good one Graham!

VVS certainly doesn't have one of the best technique. Only if he made changes to it of late, then I wouldn't have a clue!

I will say Tendulkar because he is more technically correct than other batsman. Just fantastic and nothing less.

Chanderpaul has a great technique, although highly unorthodox and horrible to look at.
It's extremely effective and he has very few flaws which I've noticed.
 
Vaughan technique is good but he likes the pull shot a bit too much and it costs him quite a few times.
 
Matthew Hayden has a good technique. He can stand and smash the ball for boundaries with no foot movement at times but when he's on song he rips bowling attacks to pieces.

technique - i don't think so
Dravid has a better technique and Ponting struggles early on in the innings sometimes. Saving a match and you can trust Dravid more than Ponting.

I really have given it thought and it has to be Jacque Kallis but the likes of Dravid and Tendulkar aren't far behind!

 Give it a rest lad , it's getting tiresome.  Ponting isn't perfect , try and live with it.

Every real, unbiased cricket fan knows that Ponting is weaker than most just outside the off stump when he comes in.
It's just that every bowler seems to focus on the fact he walks accross his stumps early and tries to get him out LBW.
 
And how is the ashes deemed the most important trophy in the world to say a Pakistani or a South African when they don't play in it?
They'd see other series and tournaments as more important. It's the most important trophy to the English and Aussies.
 
And as Sledger said, give it a rest. We're sick of hearing about your obsession with Aussie players. Learn about more players from other countries instead of being so biased towards your own.
 
This is getting to be almost as bad as Sammy's Kallis obsession.

when you talk of batting technique it is impossible to not make notice of the double record holder BRIAN LARA .It is impossible for a man of such class to not have the best batting technique,along with the little master with the most centuries in both forms of the game S TENDULKAR.And for J KALIS if you look at his record and the manner in which he scores his centuries you would know that he has some good batting technique.                                    BODY
