All of the SA batsman that I have seen till today are very boring to watch with a few exceptions....

Herschelle Gibbs is a little different and Peter Kirsten wasn't bad either.

Presuming you mean Gary? To be honest can't see him going on much longer, they've already groomed his replcement at the top of the order...

No I meant Peter.... elder brother of Gary who was a magnificent batsman and played for SA for a couple of years when they came back into test cricket.His better years were all gone waste in the years that SA were banned from test cricket.He was a far better batsman then Gary in my opinion.

Gibbs is the only SA batsmen without many fusses, all the other batsmen are fidgety, dont they look so different from batsmen around the world ?

Anyway, the most destrudtive batsman has to be Afridi or Gilchrist, Sehwag is attacking but not really destructive.
