1. Rohit
2. Johnny Bairstow
3.
4. Angelo Mathews




11. Lahiru Kumara

Please add to the list if there are more.

 

[Burgey]

“Quite a few”

Names four players out of 150 in the collective squads

 

[DriveClub]

I'm sure by the time they retire lot of them would fall into this category

 

[TheJediBrah]

Skinny-fat Ravi Ashwin played a game, Kuldeep same category
Temba Bavuma & Lungi Ngidi's arses
Fakhar Zaman still a big boi I can't remember?

I don't know any of the Bangladesh or Afghanistan players but usually they have a few pushing the numbers on the scale

There was an afghan opener or keeper who was proper tubby. Not sure where he went. Also an Irish opener balbirnie?

Paul Stirling that was

There have been quite a few fatsos commentating at this world cup. More than the last world cup at least.

Agree. Not surprising though as they just watch cricket, sit down, and eat.

Maybe I should send them a resumé. I'd be the perfect applicant

 

[Himannv]

There are a couple of Dutch players who should feature here. Dowd and van der Merve I think.

[Days of Grace]

I noticed Finchey has put on a few pounds since he retired.

 

[SteveNZ]

Agree. Not surprising though as they just watch cricket, sit down, and eat.

This is another perfect opportunity to relay the time I saw Ian Smith pop down from the commentary box at Uni Oval to get 3 hot dogs, which I presumed were for him and his fellow commentators. Minutes later, I found out they weren't.

 

[SteveNZ]

Saw Jimmy Pattinson the other day scoring a hundred in grade cricket, geez he's been in a luscious paddock since stepping away from the professional game.

 

[slowfinger]

no-one at a Dwayne Levrock level, if WI were playing they could add Pollard / Cornwall

 

[kevinw]

No Azam Khan in the Pak squad?

Another fattie Hasaranga misses out because he's not playing in this world cup. Sri lanka has quite a few fatties in their squad. They must hate dieting

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Angelo Mathews is not fat. Some jerseys can be misleading ..If you check his Instagram page the dude is in decent shape

You're right, he must be wearing a really tight Jersey or borrowed someone else's Jersey since sl ran out of jerseys with all the injury replacements

 

[Himannv]

Why are we fat-shaming these guys? They may be fat, but cricket isn't exactly a sport where you need to have lean muscle in order to be effective. Some of the best players in history have been fat.

 

[Line and Length]

Is this thread politically correct in this day and age? Imagine if we were making a team of women along these lines.
