Bedi was sheer poetry in action being more complete than any other left arm spinner.

 

Anwar posessed majestic grace even when tearing attacks to shreds.

 

Miltchelle Johnson could join the league of a Wasim Akram for sheer art and skill.Unplayable at his best who blended pace,movement and bounce in perfect proportion.

 

Jayasuriya gave a new defintion to opening in batting by attacking from the word go,resembling  a trapeze artist.

 

Kalicharan was like a left-handed Rohan Kanhai,taking domination to majestic heights.

 

Ganguly's batting posessed a charismatic or princely grace and was very resourceful with the ball.too.
