Softest cricketer (smallest heart)

And reminded of that, Dravid’s 2011 tour of England was so goated, against a phenomenally good attack at their peak, when everyone crumbled around him

50 street cred points for being able to identify the batsman and the bowler involved in this pea-hearted effort to guard their stumps:

Don't recognise the batsman but the bowler looks like John Cena

Jeets facing Dale Steyn? Or was it Morkel?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Yeah Jeets and Steyn

Law of averages really, the entire lineup not doing well wouldnt make sense.

Glen McGrath, strong cricketer but whined and cried every time he got hit for 4, Lara made him get is handkerchief out quite often.

Agree with whoever mentioned Caddick, who also belongs in the chippiest cricketer thread.
I thought Harmison was pretty soft, especially away from home.
Years ago, I never had much confidence in Keith Fletcher when the going was tough, especially if the bowling was more than slow-medium pace.

Given he was thoroughly instrumental in England's one and only series victory in the Windies in recent memory, that's a bit tough. But he deffo got worse through his career.

Yes, that was the one exception. I'm sure all of the players mentioned in this thread had their moments.

Yep, 06. That wasn't great. Even Chris Martin got (somewhat) in line.

All the kolpak lads.

Cmon. It was a proper ATG series

Cmon. It was a proper ATG series

I am joking

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Normally I’d knew. It’s just that my brains screwed right now

And tbf he made Brian reach for his on the regular too

 

[Burgey]

That was the series when he moved up to open wasn’t it, and Tendulkar refused to move from number four instead of doing what was right for his team?

 

[Burgey]

Not just his heart apparently.

And not just battle

 

[TheJediBrah]

Brian made many a viewer reach for theirs when in full flow

 

[Burgey]

There was nothing soft about me when Lara peeled off dat cover drive

 

[TheJediBrah]

All the kolpak lads.

No doubt they were soft, kind of feel like there was justification for it though

But a real hard case would stick it out
