most boring batsman in history to watch

[gilCHRIST2]

OK so I'm sure we all agree that it pretty much comes down to five obvious choices.

1. Matthew Hoggard.
2. Boycott
3. Atherton
4. Paul Collingwood
5. Ian Bell


Pick one.

 

[silentstriker]

Afridi, all too predictable when he's going to get out.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Adam Gilchrist.

 

[silentstriker]

Vivian Richards

 

[PhoenixFire]

Seriously, someone like Michael Vandort isn't even that good, at least people like Kallis and Boycott could and did play shots. I challenge anyone to watch his 1965(?) Gilette Cup Final knock of 146*, and not be bored.

To anyone who says Boycs was boring on here, I dount you've ever seen them so.....

Oh, and people on Youtube saying Ponting just as good as Bradman.

A friend of mine has this tape thats basically a collection of every video ever taken of Bradman playing...its not that much though.
