The players of the decade with bat in hand that helped shape my belief that “there’s no cricket like test cricket. “
1970’s – Ian Chappell. The Australian captain, the hook shot and why I always wanted to bat 3.
1980’s – Allan Border. Gutsy, determined, the cut shot, cover drive and pull shot. Averaged over 50 in Test Cricket playing against the might of the West Indies attack plus, Hadlee, Botham, Willis, Dev, Imran, and a young Wasim,
1990’s – Steve Waugh. First played against him as a 15 year old, he made an impression. The back foot cover drive, straight drive, fierce competitor, bat for your life
2000’s – Mike Hussey. Cover drive, pull shot. Mr Cricket
2010’s – Steve Smith. Everything, all of the above and more. The uniqueness, the bubble, the back foot cover drive, straight drive, on drive, pull shots, deftness and the runs and runs, did I mention the runs.
1970’s to 2010’s – Steve Smith. BSB
