Icon2 Most boring & the most Stylish Batsman

1) - Well I think Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis both are the most boring batsman
becasue they hardly hit big shots.


2) - There are many stylish batsmen like Brain Lara , Muhammad Yousuf, Ricky Ponting but I think the most stylish player is Mahela Jayawardne.

What do you say?

Are we talking about the most "stylish" batsmen of all time or that is currently playing?
Either way a hell of a lot of names are missing.
As for the ones in the poll I would have to go with Ponting.

I dont expect anyone to agree with me but I always found Trescothick quite stylish in his own unique way, quite enjoyed watching him bat. Along with VVS Laxman and Mark Waugh.

You know its weird to say this but I've always really enjoyed Chanderpauls style.

But for a stylish batsman you can't go past Chris Martin.

For boring I would have to go for... (well I spent quite a while deliberating that) but the recent series has to push it in his favour, Ganga, I was going to go for a bowler but he was dreadful to watch in England.

What do you say?
Kallis has hit over 100 ODI sixes, so it would be rather erroneous to suggest that Kallis hardly hits a big shot. Statistically Kallis hits more sixes per ODI innings than these select group of players, Tendulkar, Saeed Anwar, Inzy, Sehwag and Astle.

Kallis - the perfect blend of both.

Bless his heart.
