nballa Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Name a player and his best stroke, the one which will be remembered. Sachin - Straight drive for 6 off pacers Dravid - Leg Glance Sehwag - Cut over thirdman for 6 Ganguly - down the track lofting spinners for straight huge 6's. Yuvraj - tough one - either the free flowing cover drive or wristy flicked sixes over midwicket Laxman - touch cover drives with no follow through or stepping out to leg spinners and hitting them through midwicket against the turn. raina - hoick through midwicket for massive 6's gambhir - ? rohit - ? inzamam - thinking defensive prods which go for 4's younis - ? yousuf - cover driven 6's malik - ? misbah - scoop over short fine leg akmal - ? go on and list the ones which come to mind, even old timers Link to comment

Mr. Wicket Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Thank you Blue Brigade for cleaning this up. David Gower - cover drive Robin Smith - perhaps the most intense cut shot I had seen until Sehwag emerged Richie Richardson - the hook Azhar - length ball on off stump, flicked effortlessly through midwicket or mid on Manish Pandey - cowlash to cow corner Matthew Hayden - loft over midwicket when walking down the track to a quick bowler Mark Waugh - uppish cover drive or flick off the pads straight to a fielder after getting set Andy Flower - reverse sweep as art Link to comment
Pioneer Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Inzamam lumbering down the pitch, hitting a six straight over the bowler's head. ( I'm sure I've heard Sanjay Manjrekar say this on TenSports at one point) Link to comment
