Zaheer Abbas, most stylish batsmen ever?

Zaheer Abbas may be the most stylish batsman to have played cricket

Zaheer Abbas, GR Vishwanath and David Gower are the most stylish batsmen I have seen playing test cricket.

How do you define style in cricket? Style in cricket implies elegance even when playing a bad shot or getting out. Zaheer Abbas exemplified style through his incomparable back foot square drive and Gundappa Vishwanath exemplified his style through his uppish square cut.

Zaheer Abbas and Gundappa Vishwanath may not have great batting records in comparison to Brian Charles Lara or Sachin Tendulkar, but they definitely had better "style" and elegance

Here is Zaheer Abbas at his best , executing a stylish back foot drive

Men In White ,by Mukul Kesavan is a great cricket book

Men In White, is a really cool cricket book written by Mukul Kesavan

I started reading Mukul Kesavan's Men In White with a lot of trepidation. Most cricket books are written by cricketers (read ghost writers) and lack the basic elements of good writing and humor.But Mukul Kesavan's Men in White really surprised me by being written brilliantly with some of the best metaphors I have ever read

My favorite metaphor from Mukul Kesavan's Men In White book

• "GR Vishwanath looked like a sawn off dacoit and played like a wristy angel"

I first read Mukul Kesavan's Men in White and then started reading his blog

I just read read an article from Mukul Kesavan's blog on Why we root for Sri Lanka and really enjoyed it. Mukul seems to be one cricket writer whom I really like

In summary, I would really recommend that you read Mukul Kesavan's Men in White book about the characters that make world cricket
