Coolest Cricketers

[gettingbetter]

Just a random thought. Who do you think is cool?

I can see Chris Gayle winning a lot of votes and rightly so, but other cricketers who I think are cool include:
- Mark Waugh: not really a fan, but his non-chalant manner was something amazing
- Lance Klusener: my favourite cricketer, the aura he had when going to the crease...
- Jonty Rhodes

Whose your favourite Fonzies?

Aravinda de Silva.

- Mark Waugh: not really a fan, but his non-chalant manner was something amazing

His attitude was pretty disgusting at times. If he had half the resolve and grit of his brother, he would have averaged 60.

 

[Prince EWS]

Mahela Jayawardene. Would you say he was the Aravinda equivalent of this generation, Richard? (keeping in mind the relative bowling and batting standards and all that - not saying he was as good/better or anything. ) - Aravinda was slightly before my time.

Phil? How so?

I honestly can't picture too many cool English cricketers, maybe KP, but he seems too chav-like to be cool. Must be the murky, depressing whether.

True, but he looked so calm when batting and we all know the stories about him sleeping before his innings.

imo he was a much more stylish batsman than his brother to boot.

Alex Tudor, what a guy, saw him at Waterloo station once, coolness personified, shades and everything.

Viv Richards.

In terms of how they look as batsmen, they've many similarities.

Personality-wise, they seem poles-apart.
