Most elegant batsmen

I'm not necessarily after batsmen with the best average, most runs, most 100s or even hardest hitting but just simply the most elegant, graceful and Classical to watch.

Those who bring real pleasure to the eye.


For me a few that spring to mind are...

Martin Crowe
Mark Waugh
VVS Laxman
David Gower
Greg Chappell
Stephen Fleming
Damien Martyn
 

Marius

International Debutant
Darryl Cullinan and Andrew Hudson. Even Shaun Pollock can play some very nice looking shots. If he had concentrated on his batting, he would be averaging over 40 in Tests now.
 

Beleg

International Regular
i personally liked watching Saeed Anwar play. Pretty elegent and flowing.

and also mark waugh.
 

Swervy

International Captain
Gower in full flow was the most elegant I have ever seen.Made batting look TOO easy

Martin Crowe

For me, there is no better site than Michael Vaughan in full flow with his cover divers, off drives, pulls, cuts, straight drives... beautiful.
