5 batsmen with the most unusual batting stance

4. Michael Vaughan (England)

Michael Vaughan had an unusually high backlift

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan is remembered most for leading England to victory in the 2005 Ashes series. However, there is much more to Vaughan’s career than that as he was among England’s best batsmen at a certain point.

One of the things that stood out for the stylish English batsman was his unusual style of batting. Unlike most of the other batsmen of his time, Vaughan had an unconventionally high backlift and made a strange back and across motion as he got ready to play the ball.

Michael Vaughan’s stance made it relatively easier for him to drive the ball through the covers or pull it but it also made him susceptible to the incoming delivery.
