Top 5 Pullers

1.Sachin Tendulkar-He is an incredible puller and hooker which was evident from the six that sailed out of the ground during the 2003 world cup. Caddick alleged that he has drawn out a trap for the master batsman. The saddest part of this announcement is that he didn't realize the fact that we can set trap for animals or even for human beings but not to the cricketing God.


1.Ricky Ponting-The Australian captain seems to be in total control when he is pulling the ball compared to any other drives.I have not seen him getting out when attempting a pull shot.He is such a perfect demonstrator of this shot.



3.Kevin Pietersen-This English men proved to be a nightmare to all the bowlers during the Ashes in England.Only few batsmen have pulled Brett Lee with such a high degree of comfort and he is surely a leading batsmen in that list.





4.Yuvraj Singh-Everyone knows that he is an implausible timer of the cricket ball.When he pulls the ball it can never be seen with the naked eye.Replays are required to clearly scrutinize the shot.His high back lift eases his difficulty in pulling the ball and enable him to transfer his weight quickly and accurately.





5.Adam Gilchrist-He is one of the supreme wicket keeper batsmen witnessed in the war ground.Pulling the ball is not a tough task for him as he is already an aggressive batsmen.He executes this shot in such a manner that it gives an illusion that the bowler is bowling a wrong line.
