Your favourite player from each team ?

[ramkumar_gr]

I am no big fan of Javagal Srinath, but he is far from the stupidest cricketer to have played for India. There have been much worse.

I had always felt he just ran in and bowled without any purpose. to be precise, he can't plan a wicket as someone like Zaheer Khan. If the batsman does a foolish mistake, he gets a wicket. Otherwise not.

May be not all that. You have to listen him talk for you to hate him. He would say something and say something entirely opposite the next 5 minutes. He is such a disgrace to the commentary box and the ICC refree job.

England - Pietersen
New Zealand - Jeetan Patel
Sri Lanka - Dilshan
South Africa - Paul Harris
Pakistan - tough choice ...probably Taufeeq Umar
West Indies - Ravi Rampaul

Ugh, how did I forget Stuart Broad?

Pietersen is an arrogant, annoying prick but Broad >>> Pietersen for dislikeability.

New Zealand - Jeetan Patel

dear vcs,

gagf

love, morphine.

 

[Howe_zat]

Oh, I wondered why this thread was so popular - because it's about hate now, natch.

England - Wright
Australia - Watson
South Africa - Albie Morkel
India - Harbhajan
West Indies - Pollard
Sri Lanka - Dilshan
Pakistan - Shoaib Malik
Bangladesh - Ashraful
New Zealand - Hopkins

I really had to think about Pakistan, really took a special effort from Malik to beat Kamran Akmal and Imran Farhat.

 

[Prince EWS]

I forgot about Wright. I hate him more than I hate Morgan, for sure.

 

[Howe_zat]

I forgot about Wright. I hate him more than I hate Morgan, for sure.

Why do you even hate Morgan anyway?

Over-ratedness is a big factor in my dislike for cricketers.

 

[Howe_zat]

Over-ratedness is a big factor in my dislike for cricketers.

Fair enough, me too. I don't think he is overrated, but how much you hear about someone is obviously the most subjective point there is, so I'll let you have that one.

 

[smash84]

Seriously, get some psychological help.

Can get it from the man himself tbh.

Sreesanth has a degree in psychology. One more reason to love him. WAG.

good come back ......but u r not serious about having Sreesanth as ur favorite player are you??????

Australia - Hussey
Bangladesh - Ashraful
England - Anderson
India - Tendulkar
Pakistan - Sami
New Zealand - Vettori
South Africa - Steyn
Sri Lanka - Mathews
West Indies - Roach
Zimbabwe - Mpariwa

Your favorite Pakistan player is Sami??? This is a disgrace. He is probably disowned by 99.9999999999999999% of Pakistan's population (the remaining contains the PCB). Wait till Xuhaib finds out.

Hate the fans, not the player who is minding their own business. Otherwise you should hate Sachin for many individuals, including journalists, saying he's better than Bradman.

You also should have hated Ponting in 2006 when people were saying he was now the 2nd best Australian bat since Bradman.

etc etc.

 

[Himannv]

Haha I thought I might get some reaction to that one lol. Yeah I like his runup and action. Something I like about such a small made guy generating so much pace. Its true that his acuracy is rubbish and all that but I have always liked watching him and always hope he gets it right. Exciting watching the guy run in although the end product is rarely satisfactory. Not exactly spoilt for choice right now though or I would have said Amir.

It's not so much that I actually hate the player; I just generally hope he performs poorly if he's over-rated.
