Azhar had a class of his own. Though Sandeep patil has hardly played no of matches compared to other two, he was a charm when batting. Remember 6 boundries in one over of bob willis in England or the way he stroked Len Pasco in Australia. Azhar's leg-glance , Vishy's square cut were the classic ones. Still remember his 145 against tricky pakistani bowlers and wickets. Timing played a major factor in Azhar's batting and his batting was called as "mangati kalakusar" by shirish kanekar. Both Vishy and Azhar were wristy strokeplayers.
This is IMHO. Since we are free to express our opinion here I thought to write a few lines. Would like to know your comments pls.
