Once had Maurice Odumbe's e-mail address. And no I'm not a stalker :ph34r:

The likes of Brad Hogg, Andrew Symonds, Michael Clarke, and Michael Hussey seem to be very cool in Australia ATM. The cheer that Symonds gets when he comes into bat, and of course the 'Hoggy' chants as well today.

I suppose...but he's got a bit too much of the Popeye/Robin Williams thing going.

I guess he'd be considered cool in the sense you mentioned. I'd vote for Lee among the quick bowlers, but his Bollywood embarrassment seriously works against him.

Sir Viv. Cool as.

Curtlee was pretty damn cool, as were Big Bird and Whispering Death in their own special ways. Maybe it's just my memories of the eighties, but Imran Khan and Dennis Lillee strike me as rather cool...as does David Gower, in a very different way.

Cool English cricketers? I've already mentioned Gower, and I suppose WG was the epitome of cool in his very starched-white-collar era. More recently, the King of the Jungle himself, Tuffers, was and is laconic to the point of coolness.

Of the current crowd, I'm going to have to nominate Malinga. Big Shiv as well, in characteristically unorthodox fashion.

Always thought you were my age TBH Mahinda. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

Seeing that I'm definitely not a lady, of course I don't mind. I'm 29 but almost 30 -- IIRC, I'm a bit younger than you. Given that I was but one year old at the start of the '80s, my cricketing memories of the period only start from 1986 or so.

The most vivid ones include sitting in a car for hours on a stifling hot day listening to the WIndies batter England, and also watching Gower & co. capitulate on TV, probably during the same series. That was the first series I ever really noticed, I suppose.

In terms of English cricketers, by my criteria mentioned earlier, it would have to be Flintoff.

Kids want to be him and with a few hundred quid in our pockets and no curfew Im sure we could a hell of a night out.
