Hadlee & Banger.

An awful lot of time for Sir Clive, but can't not vote for Banger and Paddles is a nonpareil.

Beefy & Swanneh

Lord Jardine of Mumbai & Shoaib

Very harsh on Vettori, who seems a toppermost chap, but he's not a cricketer that quickens my pulse. Shoaib, for all his flaws, was one of the most awesome sights in cricker steaming in. Was still up around 95mph at 35, overweight and riven with hideous diseases.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Hadlee, Trescothick.
Swann, Botham.
Apologies to Vettori, needed a partner I could vote for.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Douglas Jardine for being Bradman's father

Is there an unreleased Star Wars movie you have sole access to?

 

[G.I.Joe]

Andy Flower the biggest upset so far for me. Was a really tough draw though.

Andrew Flintoff, IMO. Didn't expect him to crash out first round.

 

[fredfertang]

Can't not go for Tresco, and Clive Lloyd was one of my childhood heroes, so unbelievably I have to leave Sir Paddles on the shelf

In the second Botham, obviously, and the ***** rescuer Swanneh not very far behind

.... and finally DRJ by a country mile plus the Rawalpindi Express

cant believe botham is not an obvious choice for most here. one of the most loved and popular cricketers of his generation is not getting enough love here in CW. sad.
