Whatever it takes!!!
In this latest Aussie vs. West Indies test, I was particularly impressed by a very, very late cut from Brad Haddin (I think) and the pull shot by Chris Gayle late last night, which was appropriately described as "Greenidge-esque". As for one particular shot, I don't have a favourite - just execute your shots with perfect elegance, balance and timing and there you go.

Obviously, my favourite shot is that of the middle stump cartwheeling away towards the fine-leg boundary.
Yasir Hameed was a pretty good exponent of that one. :p

You remind me of the kid in school who tries so hard to be different that he just ends up looking like a tit :ph34r:
Wait, wanting proper cricket shots along the ground is trying to be different? MCC Coaching manual has now become the sign of a rebel!

The world as we know it has ended.

O my Hornby and my Barlow long ago!

Think he was referring to the rather peculiar "dead cats" part.
Rather than the dislike of Yuvraj slogging :p

The Pull Shot is good but there is nothing more satisfying than hitting the bowler back over his head :)
