Trademark Shots

[holmie]

since there are alot of batsmen that have their own way of playing certain shots, i want to dedicate a whole thread to list all of them and their trademark shot. and example will be Pietersen with his Flamingo Shot. we can try to get a video of all of them so that we can show LM exactly how they are done so he can make a pefect animation for them in the game. i will start of by putting down KP's flamingo shot.

1. Pietersen - Flamingo through the on-side.
2. Sehwag - Uppercut-six to the third man position
3. Ponting - On drive.
4. Gilchrist - Edge to slips
5. Hayden - Walk down the pitch.
6. Strauss - Square cuts and square drives

Aftab Ahmed's flick over long leg for six (Ala BLIC)
Dhoni's unsusual whirling hit down the ground to a yorker
Dada's charge down the wicket and smash over extra cover
Dravids defense thing (Where he kinda hops and plays it late)
Murali's....well...everything
Brian Lara's pull
Kaathik's very very very late cut (Apparently similar to Javed Miandad)
Afridi's effortless smash down long on without even moving an inch.
Panesar's slog sweep
KP's flamingo and reverse-sweep.

More later.

Moyos cover drive

 

[tassietiger]

Gayle's golf swing over mid-on (without any footwork whatsoever, is a great shot to watch when he is middling them)

ganguly's strange shorts to short balls ^^

This may be the wrong place to ask this question, but are there going to be different stances for different batsmen?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Lara's once-in-a-lifetime paddle sweep. (Well, twice.)
Robin Peterson miscued hit which travells over third man for six (Was hilarious to watch )
Aftab's swivelling pull shot. Magnificent looking shot for such a short man.

I'd also like to see one thing: Gayle's underarm lobs from the boundary which reach the keeper over the stumps on the bounce. Amazing.

Paul Collingwood's advance down the wicket chip over mid-on shot,
Vaughan's exaggerated cover drive,
Trescothick's 'no feet' straight drive,
Afridi's heave across the line.

Mods have removed stuff for less. They'll probably appreciate it if you removed it yourself, though.
