Which Cricketers do you dislike?

[ataraxia]

Yeah, I remember most of the section I was sitting in at Eden Park groaning as he mopped up the tail in a T20 and did a victory lap every time.

I don't mind passionate celebrations (Wagner's are fabulous), but I get very tired of Tahir's - a massive victory lap every time, regardless of the quality of the batsman or match situation. IMO it's also a bit douchey to make it all about him, even when the wicket is thanks to a great catch by a teammate.

Imagine Tahir doing that to that Santner catch. Would be ridiculous really.

 

[Burgey]

I always found Gilly's batting utterly grotesque

So did a lot of the blokes who had to bowl to him

 

[Bahnz]

I can't wait for him to bat for 2.5 days each test and utterly screw over your festive season.

Probably, the only believable scenario where that doesn't happen is if Wagner gets one to take off and leaves him with a broken ****en' arm early in the series.

Haddin

Australians

I hated sairaj bahutule and his stupid action and his stupid dumbo ears

I also hate him for the weirdest reason.

The first time I watched him bowl I was eating a kebab from a place that doesn't exist anymore. It was magnificient, but I can't have another one because it's gone.

I never think about it unless he's mentioned. Whenever he's mentioned, I get a week-long insatiable craving for that kebab.

So **** Bahutule and **** you.

Australians

Well Australia is about the only country you haven't claimed to be a fan of at some point after all

 

[Prince EWS]

I genuinely can't recall ever seeing Ross Taylor bowling

I remember one of the bit-part Kiwi commentators trying to talk him up as a potential bowling option in an ODI, to which Ian Smith replied "Ross Taylor couldn't bowl a hoop down a hill".

I think he's only bowled once since in any professional cricket. That comment really tanked his troll-bowling career.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Not heard that one before, that is gold

Bowling average of 24 - best in the NZ team. BB of 2/4.

New Zealanders never want to remember the 2/4 because one his wickets was Harby for 114.

Remember, when Harby came in at 65/6?

Australia would be a great country and a great team if it weren't for all the Australians in it.

 

[Burgey]

Shouldn’t have to put up with this level of **** on the forum tbh.

 

[Gnske]

Him and Tabraiz Shamsi.

But for real Shane Warne. I don't care what anyone says about his occasional fruit loop of useful commentary, the man is as close to a living half-hearted, full-term sphincter of an abortion that was rejected from the human race on moral grounds.

I always prefer to remember it as Chris Martin managing to take 5/sfa bowling with only Daniel Vettori for company on a pitch so flat that even Harby was capable of scoring a hundred.

Yeah, but, he is a Victorian. Get him up here, we wanna boof him.

 

[Teja.]

hated watching Hayden bat.

I really dislike the commentary/writing of Manjrekar (the amount of seethe and cope) and ChappelIi (every point he makes is a variant of five or so 1977 alpha tropes).

 

[ankitj]

Trying hard to think of a cricketer I dislike since this thread was created. I don't really.

 

[ankitj]

Wait, I know. Sreesanth.

 

[Daemon]

Azharuddin, Starc, Jayasuriya, Lyon, Ashwin
