Which modern batsmen would be successful against Bodyline?

[zen]

By Bodyline, I also mean that there are no limits to # of bouncers (and height of the ball) in an over. 

 

One could mention a name such as Viv Richards but he too struggled at times esp. at grounds like the "old" Perth against an onslaught of bouncers (making batsmen reluctant to move forward): 

 

 

 

Indian team famously or infamously walked out of a test against WI due to "bouncers". 

[cricketfan28]

Dhoni, he will take it like a champ. He can  also reverse attack bowlers with his batting.

[nevada]

Abraham De Villiers.

[Nikhil_cric]

Maybe Warner among active players   

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Rohit Sharma, he will get out on occasions but will take it on.

Current as in now. Like exactly now. 

 

Probably these ones;

 

Bavuma (all balls bounce over his head hahahhahah)

Warner

Bairstow (decent)

Zimbabar (decent)

Cameroon green.

Chahal :)

 

I don't think this is Perth. can't believe Robelinda made an error. This is MCG.   In Perth test Lille's figure was 20-0-123-2 (8 ball over) That is equivalent to approximately 26 overs. Perth test Australia lost by an innings.

Kohli has done well at Perth. Averaging 61 across formats. His game against short ball was always top notch even when not in form.

Probably Alan Jones. This was the game where West Aus was bowled out for 77 and then it bowled out Queensland for 62 (Lillee picked up both Viv Richards and Greg Chappell for 0 & 2 respectively).

From India

 

Rohit

Kohli

Hardik

Pant

[Bigg Brother]

Pujara..

[AuxiliA]

Only Pujara will survive. The rest will eventually get caught out. 

[ravishingravi]

Ricky pointing. He was born for bodyline bowling. 

 

Lately I must say Sharma is the best puller / hooker I have seen.

I see this footage frequently. It captures pace and rhythm of fast bowler at his prime. Also sheer courage of Viv.

Not born. He just  grew up in Tasmanian wickets so he was used to it.  Rahane/Kohli absolutely demolish Aussie bouncer tactics the entire series. I think we are under-estimating the ability of our players. A surprise bouncer that kicks off from a good length will surprise anyone like Sreesanth nailed Kallis

 

 

Here we see probably one of the greate test batsman history against short ball

To think someone who can play short ball well can face bodyline is wrong. Even the best will fear hostile bowling.
