Default Who got the best shot? (International Players)

Like in the other forum (Bangladesh Cricket) here is the status of players by the type of shots (From 1992 – 2006). Now I know it’s one of the hardest things to do…but yet I picked my choice.

Closers: Sanath Jayasuriya, Virendar Sewag

Straight Drive
My Choice: Sachin Tendulker
Closers: Stephen Fleming, Navojat Singh Sidhu

Flick/Glance
My Choice: Md Azharuddin
Closers: Mark Waugh, VVS Laxman

Pull/Hook
My Choice: Ricky Ponting
Closers: Robin Smith, Aravinda De Silva

Sweep
My Choice: Sachin Tendulker

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.

Cover Drive
My Choice: Aravinda De Silva

Square Cut/Cut: Aminul Islam Bulbul

Straight Drive
My Choice: Marvin Atapattu

Flick/Glance
My Choice: Mohammad Ypusuf

Pull/Hook
My Choice: Inzamam Ul Huq

Sweep
My Choice: Inzamam Ul Huq

Steer
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....
