TOP BATSMEN


The top batsmen I have seen


1. Brian Lara, when in flow is like poetry.
Who cares about technique when you can bat like
that. Has own matches all by himself.

2. Tendulkar, good technique, hunger for runs,
disciplined. But then sometimes gives way too
much respect to bowlers than necessary.

3. Steve Waugh, like Jack Nickalson would say
"you need him there, you want him there" especially
when shit happens.

4. Mark Waugh, elegance personified

5 Sunil Gavaskar, I was in the stadium when he played
his last test. He was simply brilliant.

6. Vivian Richards, the only reason he is so low down
the order is because I havent see much of him
and second his technique is not all that good.
He is ruthless but not in Lara kind of way.

7. Rahul Dravid, good technique, great attitude.

8. Micheal Vaughan, even though backfooted
is still elegant.

9. Ponting, just for statistics sake. I dont
think he has it in him to face high quality
spin or pace attack.

10. Martin Crowe, seen very little of him.
