The no stats thread
 

Who was the most ascetically pleasing batsman?

Who was the most ascetically pleasing batsman?

No stats allowed in this thread, so if you want to talk about player “A” having trouble with left arm spinners who eat coco pops for breakfast, with appropriate graphs to support the most commonly consumed breakfast cereal,as compared to player “B” who scored 3% less runs over his career whenever he put his right pad on first,

Then go find a STR thread and derail that please:happy:

He wasn't textbook, but BC Lara inspired the most awe in me. Sometimes the ball would be practically on the stumps before the bat arcked down from that high backlift of his. Instinctive brilliance, but with proper cricket shots.

Left handers always seem more graceful & more ugly than right handers, weirdly. Gower was glorious, but blokes like Smith & Katich are ugly as arseholes.

Katich is very hard to watch, but does the business more often than not. Don't think I would pay to watch him though

damien martyn?

I almost put him in, but I already had two Aussies, and thought GSC and Junior were slightly better to watch:)

I loved watching him, not sure how many on here would have had the pleasure of watching the wristy stylist:)

Avavinda, Mahela and maybe even Marvan are missing out IMO. All three are great to watch when in full flow.

I left a lot out, I almost included Roy Dias from the early SL Test teams, but in the end I didn't put any in:ph34r:

Just vote for one of Archie's choices you melons. I don't think he's trying to claim that it's a definitive list.

Ah very well, from those who are there, its between Lara and Mark Waugh for me. Both have different things I like about their batting but Mark Waugh gets my vote.

As subtle as always:laugh:

Polite as a peach to boot.

AWTA.. Z for me too.

Is that a saying? Don't think I have ever heard that one:wacko:
