vvvslaxman Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjqgqeKpfnI]Mark Waugh 126 vs West Indies 4th test 1995 - GENIUS - YouTube[/ame] Watched this innings after a while 1) On drive (On par with Rahul Dravid, Greg Chappell, Richards) ... Virat Kohli will join the club soon if not already. 2) Square drive 3) Upper cut Mark Waugh was a treat to watch with these shots
vvvslaxman Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 pujara cut :P He is great to watch when he plays that shot. Also his 80s style whip through his pads without too much power but great timing is also great to watch.
mancalledsting Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Of the modern players: Virat Kohli- cover drive to off spinner against the spin- to anyone that's played cricket will realise just how difficult that shot is Murali vijay- clip off the legs in front of square to seam bowler Kumar Sangakarra- on the up cover drive to seam bowler
