Last among the 'elegant' batsmen...
by Junior Shelly on Dec 29, 2011 10:51 PM

I guess VVS Laxman, Kumar Sangakkara, Ricky Ponting and Rahul Dravid are the most elegant batsmen playing these days. Even Sachin doesn't fit entirely into the 'elegant' category. In the past we had great 'artists' in Brian Lara, Mohd Azharuddin, Mark Waugh, Carl Hooper, Damien Martyn etc. Now a days, guys like Sehwag, Warner, Dhoni (OMG..!!!) etc. are making batting look really painstaking..!!

is half as good as ponting in his batting if scoring an odd 60 is measure of form. Ponting is an expired product rotting in the shelf and also others near by.

he might not have scored century for the past 2 years but he is not a liability in the team. he is great player and captaincy record stands afloat. arrogant ganguly was struggling with his form for 2 years and still was in the team. yet another comedy he was selected in IPL which was utter nonsense.

ponting has frankly admitted that he shud hv carried on after getting 50s in both the innnings. fair admittance from him.
