Fav Shot - Mal Loye's slog sweep off quickies like Lee

Fav Ball - Shane Warne bowling batters round their legs

Fave shot - the Uthappa charge (only when he does it and connects :P)
Best ball - slow yorker (like when Read tried to duck and got bowled).

Favourite shot is probably Hayden's coverdrive or Pietersen's reverse sweep off Muttiah Muralidaran.

The Favourite shot....Oh, there are so many i just love to see, but at the top of the list would have to be the Indside-Out Cover Drive. Michael Vaughn's, VVS laxman's and sachin tendulkars cover drives are also quite beautiful to watch.

Favourite Ball......Definitly the flipper, it just hurries up a batsman, and is diffucult to play

Favourite shots; Pull, Michael Clarkes dance down the wicket and smacking it straight back over the bowlers head. Im with Ben, I like Haydens cover drive too.

Favourite ball; A fast bouncer. Lets get some blood on the pitch!

fav shot: punters pull shot

fav bowl: brett lees yorkers

 

[fisch]

Shot: Driven dead straight, off the backfoot. Sublime.

Ball (pace): Back of a length, off-stump line, which snorts up with considerable 90 mph pace and bounce

Ball (spin): Probably from slow left-arm orthodox to a RHB, maximum flight, very slow pace, with drift/loop into the batsman, and turning away after pitching, beating the outside edge.


Now tell me that's the good stuff.

I managed to pull one off in my last game this season back in India. it was great.

VVS Laxmans flicks are a sight for the gods.

 

[King Pietersen]

I remember a cracking slowerball yorker from Stephen Harmison to Michael Clarke in the 2005 Ashes, think it was at Edgbaston, or Old Trafford, one of the 2. Clarke really did get some jaffers in that series.

 

[lancashire666]

best shot - tendulkars cover drive

[Gunner786]

Shot- Yousuf's Cover Drive

Ball- Shoaib Akhtars inswinging yorkers e.g. fleming wc99, tendulkar kolkatta 99, giles in 2005, the aussies in colombo

 

[GrayNicolls]

Shot- Pull shot

Ball- Inswinging yorker. Devastating effect, and hard to get runs from.

 

[SciD]

Fav Shot- Pull or straight drive, or the Dhoni whip-shot.
Ball-Inswinging Yorker, or stock outswinger that catches the edge. For spinners, flighted, spinning away, stumped

Dhoni plays most unusual shots in cricket. This is Dhoni hitting short ball over covers.
