gattaca Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Why is the image from Prokerala.com….sLickr :mad: Anyways looks like a horrible pitch,Ball kept low…must have been a dustbowl Lol. Rohit was good when arrived and played well in australia. But he has done nothing after that. Just been mediocre and eating up a spot and lot of balls and putting pressure on other batsman.
gattaca Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 On topic Sachin straight drive , Virat kohli cover drive and sehwag cut shot. Gillys offisde play just wacked it and ponting hook shot. Most of VVS shots except when he gets bowled the look on his face priceless.

Khalpat Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Sachin on drive Saeed Anwar square cut. Ponting pull shot. VVS flick to mid wicket. Mohd Yousaf cover drive. Salim Malik late cut. Afridi blind swings. In my view Saeed Anwar's drive were much better than his cut shots he was awesome while using his fronfoot and wrist.

PBN Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Certain cricketers may surpass Tendulkar statistically in various categories, but his shot making is aesthetically the best. I particularly enjoy his drives, backfoot punches, square cuts, along with with his defensive shots - standing tall and defending or whether it be figure 8 position forward defense. You definitely get your money's worth. The best at entertainment. I also liked Dravid's defensive shots. Used to emulate his figure 8 defensive shots. Yuvi - the lofted golf style sixers and the cover drive Kohli - midwicket flick Laxman : drives
Khalpat Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Who plays the best inside-out shot on the bowling of spinners?
