Most artistic Asian all-time XI v most artistic Rest of the World all-time xi?

[Harsh Thakor]

This is my choice of most artistic all-time rest of the World XI Versus most artistic all time Sub-continent XI.Not considering sheer class but artistic element.I have selected asessing the grace of the cricketer or style exuded.

 

 

 

Most artistic Asian XI

 

Saed Anwar

Majid Khan

Zaheer Abbas

Gundappa Vishwanath

Mohammad Azharuudin (C)

Kumar Sangakkara (W)

Kapil Dev

Wasim Akram

Abdul Qadir

Subhas Gupte

Bishen Bedi

 

 

The flow of Anwar,,the majestic touch of Zaheer ,Azhar and Majid ,the imagination and energy exuded by Kapil Dev,the art of Bedi and Gupte,the wizardry of Wasim amd Qadir and th composure of Sanga in one team would make cricket true poetry.What better sight than witnessing Vishy bisect  a field with his square cut ,Zaheer Abbas caressing a ball through the covers,or Azhar leg glancing .Wasim's reverse swing and Qadir's googly was the ultimate bowling spectacle.Bedi was poetry in motion.

 

 

 

 

Most artistic Rest of World XI

 

Victor Trumper

Barry Richards

David Gower

Frank Worrell (C)

Martin Crowe

Gary Sobers

Alan Knott (W)

Malcolm Marshall

Michael Holding

Derek Underwood

Courtney Walsh

 

 

The touch art of Worrell.Crowe and Gower,,the divine grace in the action of Holding followed by Walsh,the creativity of Marshall,the supreme all-round genius  Sobers taking cricketing skill to paek not discovered,the magical element of Trumper,,the aesthicosm of Barry Richards and the athleticism of Alan Knott cobined together  a Mona Lisa.
