Interesting survey.. I am surprised that VVS Laxman is nowhere in the list. Dhoni? Stylish? Mandira seems to have strange taste...Gower's books may be worth it...

Mandira Bedi stated, “Style has become integral to the personality, confidence and attitude that an individual emanates. In cricket, I consider a player stylish if he is able to create a spark both on and out of the field. My choice is Dhoni all the way, he is the most stylish cricketer, I like the charm and the positive attitude he radiates and this has helped him to obtain a great fan following. I hope many cricket fan vote for Dhoni and help him top the eBay Cricket Barometer.”
