Your Most Ugly and Most Stylish batsmen?

[jibranpatel15]

in the mordern era DHONI- most ugly AMLA- most stylish

[Serani]

Am I the only one that doesnt find Chanderpaul that ugly? Just ignore the stance and he gets into a perfect position to play the ball...

[Andy]

^Yeah because you are Windies Fan.

[thongale]

Ugliest - Jack Russel, Russel Arnold, Chanderpaul Pretty - Sangakkara, Mark Waugh, Tendulkar I wouldn't call Dhoni's technique ugly. It's different. Different is not always ugly.

Agree with this. Otherwise won't average 49 with the bat.

[Sachin=GOD]

Stylish - Sachin, Laxman, Jayawardena, Lara, Gibbs (when in full flow), Yuvraj, Mark Waugh, Vaughan, Kevin Pietersen, Mohd Ashraful (again, only when in full flow), Darren/Dwayne Bravo Ugly - Dhoni, Chanderpaul, Smith and Katich, Kaif.

[vaibhav_delhi]

kaif is ugly too

Good job. How did I miss that ugly fidgety stance.

[Sachin=GOD]

Stylish : Goddy, VVS, Yuvraj, Sangakkara, Ponting, Gibbs, Mark Waugh, Raina(except short balls), Sehwag, Lara(class apart), Ugly : Jayasuriya, Dilshan, Samarweera, Katich, Chanders, Dhoni, All paki players(including suspected non pakis like moyo and yokhi).

Jayasuriya ugly???

[vaibhav_delhi]

Agree with this. Otherwise won't average 49 with the bat.

Being ugly and effective have no correlation here. Chandrapal, Smith, katich, dhoni all have good averages.

that doesn't help. Serani's main point was that he doesnt find chander ugly with which you seemed to be agreeing.

[VRV Singh]

M Vijay plays some pretty stylish drives once in. I like watching Sarwan bat too. Just saying ones I havent seen mentioned, agree with most so far.

I know ugly when I see it, everyone knows my views on Collingwood. Shiv is more unorthodox than ugly..

[Andy]

Collingwood looks prettier on Eyes than Chander IMO.

If you have a fetish for no footwork and nudging it to the legside for 1 then maybe....

Ugly:Ijaz Aahmed,Chanderpaul,Katich,Kirsten,Dhoni,Javgal Srinath,Afridi,Lambert,Jack Russell,Colingwood,Bevan,Sohail,Langer,Ganguly(Short-pitch and Legside in his early days) Stylish:SRT,Lara,VVS,Mark Waugh,Azhar,Micheal Slater,Anwar,Yuvraj,Klusner(Liked his Stance),Gilchrist,Ganguly(Offside)

[Dinx - the Jinx]

Most people have covered all the contemporaries. So let me pick from the late 80s Ugly - Srikanth, Miandad, Salim Malik, Ranatunga, Aravinda (between deliveries, the way he used to keep that bat on his shoulder like a gadha used to be a horrible site for me) Stylish - Viv Richards, Allan Border

[Serani]

Shane Watson is also pretty ugly, just a front foot biffer in my eyes, not elegance.

[thongale]

And you've just missed that I've categorized Chanders as ugly earlier.
