All time cricketing hero - but not the obvious...
« on: November 01, 2010, 09:14:54 PM »
I know that the obvious names always come up of being your All time cricketing hero - Lara, Tendulkar, Ponting etc etc...

But what I'm really interested to know is if anybody has a cricketing hero who isn't known as 1 of the big boys?? It can be for any reason I'm just curious to see...

Chris Cairns for me absolute legend! Saw him in nets at lancs when i was a teenager, when he hit the ball it sounded like a shotgun going off!! And of course the hair . . . even asked my mother if i could get a perm to look like him!!

Darren Gough, Dominic Cork, Neil Fairbrother, Glen Chappell are only  a few who i regard very highly and perhaps wouldn't be on everyone's list and there are many many others.

Vaughan and Hick.

Loved watching Vaughan bat and he really was a top class captain. Also supporting Worcs, I loved watching Hick bat - a true hero in these parts.
