Who, over the last decade or so, has been the most entertaining batsman in your mind?

For my money, it's Walsh. :)

Although I am very much a Walsh fan, I have to say that Devon Malcolm was another one who was absolutely thrilling with a bat in his hand - and as I love the big guy, he gets my vote.

I couldn't really choose one from that list..they've all been sensational over the years.

Lara & Tendulkar especially for their one man army type approach.
Sehwag & Gilchrist for their enterprising batting at the top of the order.
Cairns for his match-winning knocks under pressure.

They're all entertaining in some way.

From a biased point of view right now Ponting is absoulotly amazing every shot looks a class above what most batsman can produce. But overall I would vote Lara & Gilly ahead of him.

I would add Afridi to that list he may be one of the worst players ever to play 100 ODI's but as far as Entertainment goes he would have to be the most aggressive batsman and potentialy the most devistating this game has ever seen.

Apart form that Mark Waugh sould deffinatly have been on that list IMO

I wouldn't cross the road to watch Afridi.

That's not strictly true - I did - he got out.

I was really thrilled when he signed for Derbyshire early this season, but he was a total flop.

sehwag isn't as consistent as ponting or tendulker, but then again, this poll isn't about consistancy
