Can you judge these batsmen by their stance and shots?

Saw this on Twitter. Thought this would be the perfect thread for Cricket Web.

Good stuff! There's also a bowling version that I saw on Facebook yesterday...

Bowling one is a bit easier, IMO.

Yeah 4 looks like Bradman. 8 looks like Botham & 12 could be Sobers.

7. Ponting?

7. Ponting?

Nah. You can kind of tell by the logos on the bat that #7 is using a Duncan Fearnley.

6 is tendy

The batting one is easier because the kit, protective equipment etc. is giving some clue. No way I'd have guessed the bowling ones.

I'm pretty **** at these considering how much cricket I've watched in my life.

 

[Daemon]

I found the bowling one much easier

Out of these 5 and 10 are the ones I am not sure about.

Is 5 Viv?

 

[Daemon]

Wait no 7 is Viv

2 is Warney no?

7 looks like Steyn.

 

[Saint Kopite]

Yep.

First thought Ponting but then the bat gave it away.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wait no 7 is Viv

Yeah this. I recognized it purely because it's a famous still photo of Viv, which most of the batsmen ones are I think (edit: and the face/head looks like Viv too lol, same with the Sobers one. Gives it away)

1 looks like Virat

 

[vcs]

6 is tendy

I thought so too but it's only identifiable because of the shirt logo and the arm guard, otherwise it could be pretty much anyone with a normal stance.

Piggy or Viru.

#7 (bowling) could be Nathan Lyon.

#7 (bowling) could be Nathan Lyon.

Dunno, the wrist seems to be cocked in that old timey angle that pacers used to use.
