I am assuming that it's "not so flamboyant" as in "ugly and dull". Gary Kirsten, Mark Taylor, Shiv Chanderpaul, Simon Katich, Asim Kamal, Nayan Mongia (wicketkeeper), Glenn McGrath, Andrew Caddick, Mervyn Dillon, Nicky Boje

When in right mood Chanderpaul can play some real cameos..he has done that against AUS a few times but more importantly he did that against my own club team... IIRC he ended up with 60 runs of 30 balls.

Mark Richardson Chris Tavare Rahul Dravid Simon Katich Jacques Kallis Trevor Bailey Khaled Mashud John Emburey Angus Fraser Ewan Chatfield Merv Dillon I couldn't include Shiv. I find him great to watch because of his fighting ability - as opposed to, say, Dravid and Kallis who bat at the same snail's pace (low 40s) whatever the situation or wicket.

U r an idiot to include dravid to the list. Shiv > dravid? How stupid.

The criteria was 'not so flamboyant'. This fits Rahul better than most #3 or 4 batsmen in the world. I see no reason for your attempt at insulting me.

Take it easy, Mouni. Donny is entitled to his opinion. We don't like abuse here, so cut it out.

Donny: I actually admire Kallis' off-drives - there is a panaché about them. Not so much his leg-style flicks, with the exaggerated follow-through - but give him another couple of years to work on that, and that should improve too!

I think we may have a crossed wire. Kallis and RD are class batsmen and I admire and appreciate their skill but that's not the issue here.
