What did each era bring to the game

Yep, that's the one

I love watching the old triangular series on fox.

Just before the sub continent World Cup where Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharana decided to go the bash straight up.

I reckon Kris Srikkanth from India was probably about the first opening batsman to go straight into attacking mode.

Greenidge and Haynes too, to some extent, although that was probably their natural batting style anyway.

IIRC Botham did it a few times for the Poms back in the early 80's

I think many people forget that in the 30's Bradman scored 309no in a day against the Poms on an uncovered pitch and with without a helmet.
