Feel a similar reaction when watching Sehwag these days even if he is not as aesthetically pleasing as Lara, he is the only batsman that makes me laugh when I watch him bat, stupid player.With classical batters like Waugh or Vaughan one admired the execution, but with Lara it was more like "Huh; how has he done that?"
Pietersen at his best is similar as well in provoking 'how has he done that' reaction, has Pietersen played the best innings I have ever seen live. (although John Crawleys hundred againt Cardiff university was the best looking, was hilariously easy)
For sheer beauty for me though it is VVS or Damien Martyn but I hope Duminy makes at least one run again in his career because the small amount of good stuff I have seen from him is wonderfull.
Having said all that though if I had to choose one player to watch it would still be Sachin.
