Which cricketers do you like?

[Bolo.]

Let's leave the obvious picks out of this, who we all like. No Steyns or Chris Martins*.

I'll kick this off nuclear style with a big FU to CW by saying Shane Warne. He is indisputably an asshat. But he is basically an asshat with stick on googly eyes. Can't help but liking him.







*Just kidding about Martin. The day I encourage anyone to stop singing his praises is the day I give up on life.

 

[honestbharani]

Everyone except Manjrekar, Sreesanth and Fixeruddin.

Much as I dislike Warne personally I absolutely loved his cricketing persona. Inspiring and theatrical every time.

Personally I really like Graeme Smith, Sir Patrick and Andrew Symonds.

 

[Gnske]

Ian Chappell, one can't help but smile just thinking of that sweet face.

In all seriousness though:
.
Symonds - Would be my honour to have him pour an overpriced beer over my head at the Normanby Hotel.
Ponting - Seems to be the definition of why its unwise to perhaps judge a cricket based on onfield exploits. What a gem he has been post-retirement.
Williamson - I bet if you got him drunk he'd break down crying, vomiting and saying he loves you and everyone else.
Katich - I don't need to say anything here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Most of them.

But the ones I like that many people don't : kohli, Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Shoaib Akhtar

Everyone except Manjrekar, Sreesanth and Fixeruddin.

What about Cronje you hypocrite

 

[Gnske]

He's dead and nothing more than a skeleton now you disgusting disrespectful prick. Awful of you to say.

I thought I was being offensive by by picking Warne. But you win. Easily. Even Ian Chappell is better. And when Gnkse makes a comment so outrageouly horrible that he has to qualify it as a joke, and you manage to top it...

 

[BoyBrumby]

He's in the "ex-cricketer" category now, but have always had a massive man crush on Zaheer Khan. Loved his MO and seemed a good egg with it.
