Graham Gooch and Greg Matthew's Advanced Hair ads were great.

I like how they show all these action shots of Mathews and just Gooch playing normally.

Kohli did an ad for a skin lightening cream ages ago. Back then it was not that unusual in India but still a bit churlish.

Sarfaraz Ahmed's pan masala ad is right up there

The Cred ads are legendary!

The David Warner one:

Then the 90s Indian pacers one:

The Kapil Dev one (83 edition):

Ravi Shastri on a usual day:

Rahul Dravid:

Also, the most shocked I have ever been seeing any ad (period, not just cricketers), also featuring Dravid:

Channel 9 had some great cricket ads for series, that music intro encapsulates the spirit of Australian Cricket.

Yeah, this 83/84 one feels way ahead of its time in terms of the effects. Great staunch looks from Imran, Viv and Marshall then cheesy grins from Hookes and Border.

Good catch. Here is a different version of the same ad but with some nice narration:

This ad of a young Graeme Smith was iconic back in the day. It was replayed to celebrate Smith reaching 100 Tests as captain of South Africa.

Joe Root ad

"The enemy isn't Australian, Indian, South African, or West Indian"

ouch
