Best batsman against mediocre bowling

[Kirkut]

We've done threads for best players of spin/pace/swing/seam. Now this thread is a tribute to all flat track bullies who will make the most of a flat pitch and 70 mph gun barrel straight military medium bowlers. Format doesn't matter, Tests/ODIs/T20.

I left out Viv Richards from the poll because he would see it as an insult for being asked to tonk military medium bowlers on roads, instead he would rather give away his wicket and prefer facing Imran Khan with his hair flying backwards while running in to bowl on a greentop.

Edit: You can mention any domestic/county cricketer from present/past who will thrash military medium gun barrel straight bowlers better than names mentioned in poll.

For some reason, Sehwag and Hayden come to mind first up when i think of players tonking military medium.

Don Bradman.

2nd GOAT at this probably Everton Weekes.

I don't know if other posters do the same but whenever I read your posts, I read it in Imran Khan's voice.

I was undecided between AB and Hitman. But I choose AB for his 360 degree range of shots.

David Hookes was said to be a first-rate destroyer of second-rate bowling

 

[mr_mister]

oh and by a similar logic Graeme Hick must be a decent shout too

Certainly one of the biggest home bullies.

 

[Line and Length]

Warner gets my vote.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

This was definitely a criticism leveled at David Hookes throughout large parts of his career

I've watched his footage. Looked very similar to Graeme Pollock. I'll cross check if robelinda has uploaded more footage.

 

[Kirkut]

Damn! Nobody can see who voted for who in the poll? Can anyone let me know if I can edit it or its permanent?

 

[Kirkut]

Jayawardena

Certainly one of the biggest home bullies.

His record in SSC or SSLC something like that ground name located in Colombo is scary.

I'll spice things up a bit. Hammond and Walcott.
