Ijaz Ahmed and Chanderpaul have the worst batting stance of all. Bell dude is like he has problem standing straight or something. More like a made up one to distract the bowler. Javed Miandad also had an ugly (bhangi with a jhaaro) stance. But was a classic batsman indeed.

You guys forgot Imran Khan. He had the most beautiful batting stance of his time.

I think Greg Blewett was a very (and probably still is) stylish batsman. I used love his cover drives.

I've seen Arvinda De Silva hit a leg stump half volley for six behind square leg off the back foot!!! and I think the reason why he could do it is because of his stance and the diff in the lenght of the legs.

Dito

and the way Khan sahib used to hit a six on the straight was awesome to watch.

I used to copy Aamir Sohail's stance, as i am a left hander too, but it is freaking hard to defend the swinging yorkers and i got LBW or bowled couple of time until i changed it.

I like Saeed Anwar & Stephen Fleming ( for left handers) , Steve & Mark Waugh, Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Alec Stewart, Inzi, all i can remember right now.
