Who is your favourite cricketer?

[JerseyGuy]

Sachin Tendulkar

 

[Burgey]

Cork was easily Test-standard. For a year, at least.

Then again on a few later occasions, such as 1998 and 2000.

I know he was. I was having a lend of you.

 

[Richard]

Having a lend?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Having a lend?

It means calling someone a pratt but dressing it up to look like they were only teasing.

 

[Flem274*]

Stephen Fleming
>daylight<
Anyone from Central Districts
Franklin
Bond
Southee

Internationally: Sangakara, Hussey M, Tendulkar, Sharma I, Sidebottom.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Elvis Costello.

http://www.cricketweb.net/cricketbooks/5087.php this is the best one I have read, in fact one of the best bios on any cricketer

D'you mean to say there's more than one on him?

 

[Burgey]

It means calling someone a pratt but dressing it up to look like they were only teasing.

Well, FTR in this case I was having a joke with Richard, not calling him a prat.

 

[Zinzan]

Batsman: How
Bowler: Southee
All-rounder: Oram

Overall: Oram

Yours is a total infactuation with Oram though isn't it

 

[silentstriker]

After McGrath, I haven't picked a new player to get infatuated about. I'll wait and see if a new world class fast bowler emerges soon.

 

[neville cardus]

?

W.G. Grace and Tom Emmett are both contenders.

 

[neville cardus]

Dominic Cork.

And Allan Donald is one of my favourites -- which, I suppose, means that you must now take to calling me "the big fellow" and I you, by way of sanitised contrast, "the big ****ing pretender".

[sanga1337]

Kumar Sangakarra.

 

[Athlai]

Jeetan Patel

 

[SJS]

• All time : Jack Hobbs
  
• From all those I have seen : G R Vishwanath
  
• Of those who are still active : Adam Gilchrist

Gilchrist no longer plays Tests.

 

[neville cardus]

He is "still active", though. One suspects that SJS was designedly equivocal in this instance.

 

[NZTailender]

Chris Cairns.

 

[SJS]

Gilchrist no longer plays Tests.

"still active"..... read my lips

 

[Perm]

Since Gilchirst has retired, my favourite is Kevin Pietersen.

Loving watching him play.
