Doug Walters, the great Australia batsman of the 1960s, 1970s, is not only impressed with India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal because he reached his hundred at Perth on Sunday with a six just like he himself did for Australia in an Ashes Test in the same city 50 seasons ago. It’s because Jaiswal, “plays in the fashion that I would love to play.” Walters, 79, who smacked the last ball of the day off Bob Willis for six on December 14, 1974, also completed a hundred in a session back then. He told mid-day from NSW: “He [Jaiswal] is a fantastic player. He is a great player for the future. I didn’t actually see the shot [that got him his century]. I was out having lunch at the time, but I was watching [other parts of his innings]. Now that he has cemented his place in the side, he is going to be more attacking than that. He is just fantastic to watch.”
