unlike your other thread, you will most probably find highly varying opinions here. It IS international cricket and international cricket you talking of. It's bound to brew differing views.

I was going to say Ash is a gr8 hook/pull batsman but I realised Ponting, Lara, Gilchrist are already masters of these shots... if Ash keeps playing his good game, he'll surely find a place amongst the stars.

seems like nobody's doubting Sachin's mastery of the straight drive.

Straight Drive
My Choice: Marvin Atapattu
Flick/Glance
My Choice: Mohammad Ypusuf
Pull/Hook
My Choice: Inzamam Ul Huq

My Choice: No one can be an absolute maestro of that shot! I dont like the shot anywayz...Its too risky and is not worth playing..
Big Hitters (No specific Shots)
My Choice: Shahid Afridi, Ijaz Ahmed(when hez on the Big hitting mode!)
There u go....but for me nothing was better than Ashraful hooking/pulling Harmison for those sixes during his 94 of 52 balls....It made a statement...It was amazingly arrogant and it was pure violence......No shots of anyone else can be better than those.....cheers....
