Gaylism Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 It has to be Christopher Henry Gayle he is more intimidating than Viv Richards in my opinion?
ganeshran Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 ^ Gayle when he is song is really intimidating, but seems to struggle against Quality spin bowling especially early on.
Gaylism Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 ^ Gayle when he is song is really intimidating' date=' but seems to struggle against Quality spin bowling especially early on.[/quote'] I disagree gayle is a pretty good player of spin. I think that most openers are not accustomed to playing spin from the outset of an innings , so I understand that gayle might be a bit tentative against spinners early in an innings . But I would not say that he struggles against spin. 99XdYh75NTk
ViruRulez Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Gayle is highly inconsistent in international cricket and so cannot be that intimidating. To be fair enough Viv was perhaps more intimidating because of the fact that he was more consistent than both Gayle and Veeru. Same goes with Dilshan. Most of today's intimidating batsmen are inconsistent. So, it has to be someone from the bygone eras.

Which batsman in world cricket would u least like to bowl to?

Which batsman in world cricket would u least like to bowl to? That is quite different from your previous question. Then it has undoubtedly has to be Sachin because the chances of his scoring against any bowler is higher than any other batsman in the world and he is always consistent with high score in every second match or so at least.

rajmarie Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 considering active players...I have to say Amla. The guy is a run machine....& scores them quickly also. & is very consistent. Sehwag & Gayle...for pure mayhem
vvvslaxman Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 If you are a spinner you would least likely to be intimidated by Gayle compared to Viru. Yes.. Gayle is more brutal coz he hits more sixes. Viru is more a boundary boy.
vvvslaxman Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 In current form Misbah is a worthy contender for that title
don_corleone840 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Its hard to tell i think its yuvraj specially when he is in full flow
WC2011INDIA Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 In current form Misbah is a worthy contender for that title Say what?!
vvvslaxman Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Say what?! :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Come on man.. don't you think bowlers are shaking in their boots at the sight of Misbah?
Ultimate_Game Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Sehwag & Gayle have to be the top two. I will give Sehwag the edge for his penchant for big scores.
Zero_Unit Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Sehwag says :hello: Bald and fat VS All muscle and force... I think Gayle wins this battle!
Sachin=GOD Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Bald and fat VS All muscle and force... I think Gayle wins this battle! I'd rather have a bald, fat and consistent Virender Sehwag over Muscle, force and Inconsistent Gayle.
