Most exciting batsman to watch

[Xuhaib]

Lara and Sehwag on about equal, Gilly a close second.

I am sure some of our older generation will have Viv on their list.

Tendulkar was hands down the most exciting batsman to watch for me in the 90's, only starting watching a lot more of Lara whenever possible after I saw that 153*.

 

[Jono]

Sachin in the 90s was exciting.

Still find him incredibl exciting in ODIs (his Hyderabad knock in 2009 and his 200* vs. South Africa were amazing ODI knocks!).

His test batting has obviously mellowed, but in such a way that I love watching it. I wouldn't say it excites me like Lara and Sehwag do. I am more in awe of his genius.

Yes, but he was even better in WC '03. Also in the '90s, Sharjah '98, WC '96 and many many more.

WC 2003 vs. Pakistan

 

[Jacknife]

Most of the obvious ones have been mentioned,but I'd add KP to the list when on form, there's not too many batsman I'd prefer to watch smash bowling attacks to all parts than him.

9.Tendu
10.Kaluwitharna

Out of the ten if I had to pick one,it would be Sehwag.For pure destructiveness(and thefore excitement) none of the other 9 come close(in tests).
