Who's yours?
« on: November 06, 2011, 11:17:49 PM »

Who is your favorite player and why?

I'll start with Shivnarine Chanderpaul just for his pure stubbornness at the crease and he manages to pull off a pink bat whilst the same time looking really hard!

Mohammad Yousuf - Met him few times, spoke with him few times etc and a top bloke he is. I remember he parked his car on main road to meet me.

Shane Watson - steely and determined, also very adaptable

would have been Mohammed Amir if he hadnt let himself down at Lords, used to love watching him bowl, most naturally talented cricketer i had ever seen, still go back and watch him on youtube sometimes

I totally agree with you, my heart bleeds when I see that bowling talent go down the drain.

Apart from MoYo another person I would say is Shoaib Akhtar, no matter in how many controversies this guy got into but he never sold his country and was very very patriotic.

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

I couldn't pick between the following 3;

Ian Bell - just pure class with every shot in the book

Eoin Morgan - cool as a cucumber whatever the situation and has the ability to hit the ball wherever he wants whenever he wants

Adam Gilchrist - what is there to say about the man who changed the role of the modern day wicket keeper single handedly

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I've heard mixed things about him in real life as he is from just by me. Some good some bad. Untill I meet him myself I have no opinion except his cricket greatness lol as i believe that you should never judge people untill you meet them yourself.

There can be only one: Warne.

Revolutionised the spin game, had a small 'Spirit of Gazza' in him, boderline Cricket genius according to all captains that have played with (and said he was always their top earworm), produced deliveries that single handidly demanded the development of super slo mo action replays to the game - indeed produced deliveries that you could watch over and over and over and over again, and still need to pick your jaw up from the floor to work out how the F he did it, completely changed the conventional wisdom you believed in that spin bowlers were merely a sideshow to give the quickies a break, put the fear of GOD into batsmen for HOURS on end, the sort of tangible "FFS, not again" horror you see in their eyes that they normally save for Curtly or McGrath, and, pretty much, the sole reason me as a 13 year old even bothered to pick up a ball and bat.

And now he engaged to Liz Hurley.

'Bowled Shane!

Currently its got to be onathan Trott. His game plan is very similar to mine, also bowls a very tidy seam up line and has a rocket arm :)
