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

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
