Battle of the shots

[OverratedSanity]

Didn't know what else to call it.

Pick any one shot played by any batsman. One nomination per batsman to give non-Lara/Laxman batsmen a chance. The video for the shot in question is a must to be nominated.


I'll start with VVS jumping 4 feet outside leg to drive Shane Warne through extra cover. Last one in this video.

Dravid flicking a Murali offbreak over cover for six.

 

[OverratedSanity]

And probably the best six I've ever seen, Ponting gently pushing a Sidebottom delivery out of Nottingham

 

[OverratedSanity]

Also, no generic mentions like "Lara's square cut". Pick a specific instance of the shot being played.

I remember this one. So ****ing good. Althought tbf, I like the full blooded cover drive next ball even more.

[smalishah84]

and mark waugh front foot cover drives at 1:12 and 1:26, so so good

 

[vic_orthdox]

Any of the seven cover drives to start this innings by Greg Blewett. Not the best record overall as a Test player but was lovely to watch.

Poor Hammond has no footage to back up his claim.
