The Most Selfish Players you've Seen

[vic_orthdox]

Reminds me of those blokes who you play cricket with, who is always very stiff to get out, or if he is comprehensively out then it was due to one of the greatest balls of all time.

A few summers ago I think it was Bill Lawry who spoke of a county match where Wasim Akram needed to hit a 6 to make his hundred and win the match. The result was he was caught and his side lost rather than getting the couple required.

Hardly worth a special mention for that is it? Would like to think close to 100% of players would try & hit a 6 for the win in that instance

Dunno. As it was the last wicket (seemingly) and the result depended on it I'd hope a few would've done the noble thing and scamped two or a brace of singles if that was what was required for the win.

Thought he was implying that 6 were needed off the last ball & assumed it was a limited overs game

Yeah reads a bit like that, but this thread is about selfish players,. nut unselfish.

So mentioning him implies he was selfish of course

Read it as six for Akram's ton but a "couple required" for the win.
