Players who were a bit similar in the way they played.

Yeah there is merit in Viru and Sachin comparison. There were some shots that were eerily similar, especially punch off the hips on on side.

Still reckon Milne is more similar to Bond than Henry is to Bond. Milne and Bond charged in and had more "loose-limbed" type actions (dunno if that makes sense but not sure how else to explain it) whereas Henry only saunters in and is much more of an effort bowler and much "tighter" at the crease. Milne and Bond built up momentum in their run more whereas Henry saves it all for a rather abrupt last-ditch effort.

Dunno, I reckon Bond and Henry are similar in that their pace comes from their action, whereas for Milne it's more through muscle.
