Best modern day batting entertainer?

[ZoraxDoom]

Add Geraint Jones to the partnership and thats entertainment at both ends!

If you have Collingwood and Pieterson following against the Zim attack and you can have a ball!

Afride But he is inconsistent thts the big problem wid him Concentration is the key factor in Afridi's Batting...If He Concentrates & take some Time & Give Bowler some respect than his batting shud improve a Bit.....!! May Be :P
1 - Afridi

ummm... no comment afridi.....by a long marjin.....I hate when indians just know that other countries players are just better in almost every aspect of cricket and just deny it......they just don not understand......

Well the only thing Afridi can do is hit!Most of the time he doesn't even do that!He simply is a dud!

 

[indiancricketer]

i know thats true afridi just slogs i don't find that very good... sehwag is a good batter very good entertainer too learn alot from him

 

[sachin]

Afidi is good when he gets going.........but he hardly ever gets going.If he does it last 15 balls.Not good enough.He may be able to win you the odd ODI but he is not a good (let alone a great)batsman,If he could stay in for a long period of time in test cricket he might do O.K. but he can't,That is some of the reasons why he is not a good batsman.

Gilchrist is the greatest entertainer of all. Be it one day matches or Test matches. He is the crisis man. He is the man who can win Australia a ODI in first 15 overs itself. I always like to see Australia 4-5 down for 150 or 175 runs in Test match, because that's the time you know Gilchrist performs at his best by scoring an effortless, stroke-filled, scintillating century alongwith the Aussie tailenders. He has the power to clear fences... but also has good timing. Fun to watch cricketer.

Probably after Gilchrist would be Afridi and Sehwag.

But on a given day none of the above can match a Lara or a Tendulkar (I really miss the swashbuckling Tendulkar of old... But all good things come to an end at some point or other).

The best entertainer of yester years would be the one and only Sir Vivian Richards. Whatta player!! The King!!
