The one where he slaps short of a length balls to the legside, with one leg in the air like flamingoes/herons etc.

IIRC, Viv Richards used to do the same, but with both feet on the ground.

Unorthrodox shots in general: Mahela and Lara

Best sweepers I could think of were Miandad, Salim Malik and Ranatunga. Tendulkar not far behind. Swept balls to end from square mid off to fine leg. And the best slogs I've seen have come from afridi and Klusener.

He wasn't great at it for his whole career, but I don't know if I've ever seen someone sweep so regularly, successfully and powerfully as Hayden circa 2001.

I'd just about take anything from Brian Lara on the off-side. It was like the more width you gave him, the bigger the canvas for him to work with.

I am little surprised in not seeing Border's name.
He had very good cut shot.
