Trying to name the team from the 80's.
Can make out (from left to right) Bruce Reid, Dean(o) Jones, AB, Craig McDermott, David Boon, Greg Matthews.
Pretty sure i know the guy standing directly behind Allan Border just cant think of the name.Note: No cheating by looking online

@Virgil or to translate it into Ocker: Reid-o, Dean-o, AB, Craig-o, Boon-o, Greg-o. Think you missed Steve-o.
Yup just spotted the talented Waugh brother lurking on the far left.
Mark Waugh had more natural talent, but Steve had it all over him mentally

I think I read somewhere they had the same natural talent but Marks concentration drifted and he thought about the horses after a session or two...

Mark just made it look easy though. Beautiful to watch
Off his pads? Sexual. Up there with a Lara cover drive for me (and a Ponting pull shot)

What shade is that. Sandpaper yellow?

@Stockcar86 it's actually AB-Could-Still-Kick-Your-Sorry-Arse Yellow

It was his late cut shot that showed his talent.

Tendulkar too. He cut balls so close to his body - just leaned back, let them go past him, and then flicked them down to fine leg for four. Incredible talent to be able to do that.

Cutting to fine leg is up there with hooking to 3rd man. It takes a special cricketer.

Arr, too early. Third man, obviously. There was a shot he played in the early 2000's against the aussies, where he literally just swayed back, and flicked it. Seriously excellent - minimum movement, maximum effect/

Mark Waugh would have to be the most elegant right hander ever right?
When the most elegant batsmen are listed the same names along with Waugh come up - Gower, Lara, Sobers, Sangakarra, Fleming and Turner (in an NZ context) - all lefties.

I actually rate Kane as more elegant than Afghanistan for all around shot making. Sometimes I watch Kane lean into a push and the next thing I know it's at the boundary. But generally the classically elegant are usually lefties...Turner was a RHB.

Yeah, except he just misses out due to the glorious unparalleled elegance of Martin David Crowe 🙂
