Who is the worst batsmen to watch?

[punjabi_khota]

Bhajji

[Austin 3:!6]

I personally don't like Rahane

[kubrickian]

Misbah Ul Haq and Azhar Ali. Watching them bat is like watching a chess game slowly meandering towards a stalemate. When they get out, you are glad the game has ended.

[maniac]

Steve Smith lol....yeah he has an unorthodox technique but he is an exciting player.

 

On topic pretty much the entire pak top order bar Asad Shafiq,

 

K.brathwaite from WI

 

Chris Rogers from AUs and Stephen Cook from South Africa

This. He is exciting to watch in one day's just like Dhoni when he is rotating and shuffling across. The ability to play and drop and play cross shots for quick singles and doubles in ODI's, makes the batting exciting and great to see and both Smith and Dhoni do that on regular basis.

When he is in flow there are not many who look better IMO

[bowl_out]

Rayudu and Steve Smith

[maniac]

I will go a little out of the box and say Rohit Sharma when in full flow.

 

The best thing about any sport is the challenge...the anticipation of what is going to happen next...I mean picture this if you are playing a video game for the first time,you are excited because you don't know what the AI has in store for you but let us say if you play EA cricket in easy mode and you have everything figured out and you are hitting everything out of the park or every delivery you take is a wicket...what is the fun there?

 

Similarly when Rohit is in the zone...everything is a 4 or a 6...it can get overwhelming at times.

Most Pakistani batsmen of the 90's were an eye sore, Salim Malik, Yousuf Youhana Ijaz Ahmed...Chanderpaul would irritate the $hite out of you if you are an oppsition fan and hes strung a partnership with someone, some of the most atrocious batting displayed by the tailenders is Courtney Walsh, Venkatesh Tangdi Prasad, Anil kumble at times would drive like he doesnt have bones in his hands, and of course Chris Martin.

Anil Kumble's batting was irritating and so was Ijaz Ahmed....sticking their booty out while batting

 usually tailenders are entertaining and likes of Chris Martin,Walsh and even Murali were pretty funny to watch

even Rohit is funny to watch when the ball is swinging or spinning

 

[randomGuy]

Answer is Smith....mainly coz he is so freaking successful.... ugliness becomes so much bigger.

+1

He was rather ungainly with his stance and the worst part was he always seemed to do well against India so one got to see quite a bit ofhim during an India Windies match

[mancalledsting]

And of course dhoni 

[vvvslaxman]

Entire England top order.

[Jimmy Cliff]

It's Chanderpaul of course. In my cricketing nightmares, he's still batting without a helmet and taking Kumble, Prasad and Kuruvilla to the cleaners.

[Sandeep99]

Steve Smith, Joe Root, Che Pujara - among the prolific run makers.

[Vijy]

Rahane, when he's out of form is pretty painful to watch. In terms of general ugliness, too many to mention.
