The Artists at the Crease: Lara, Dravid, and Younis Khan<\/p>\n
A swashbuckling player, Brian Lara\u2019s footwork against spin was sensational. With his wide stance, the West Indian, widely considered one of the best cricketers in the history of the game<\/a>, outmanoeuvred spinners with his stylish array of shots. His score was driven by the affection he received from the industry experts, and he topped our standings.<\/p>\n Despite being known as \u201cThe Wall\u2019 during his career,<\/a> Rahul Dravid playing spin was mesmerising. Renowned for his impeccable technique and stout defence, Dravid played one of the most memorable Test innings against Australia at Eden Gardens in 2001, where he notched up 180 off 353 balls, neutralising the threat of the late Shane Warne, who reignited the art of leg spin<\/a>. A perfect \u2018SB Score\u2019 was accompanied by strong support from the industry experts.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Younis Khan\u2019s sweep shot was effortless, making him a spin destroyer. He might not have always been the most fluid, but he was committed at the crease, picking up lines well. His statistical dominance against spin with an average of over 75 was sublime, and he combined a strong \u2018SB Score\u2019 with an impactful \u2018Industry Insights\u2019 rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Artists at the Crease: Lara, Dravid, and Younis Khan A swashbuckling player, Brian Lara\u2019s footwork against spin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-99994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
