a bunch of dudes vote on the best looking male cricketer since 2000

[G.I.Joe]

I'm not sure but I think that might be him post-cancer when he'd come back to the team not having trained for a long while.

 

[Daemon]

Nah, pretty sure he's always been that way, except maybe for a couple years back when he went for that 6 month physical fitness thing with Zaheer Khan.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Obviously that picture was at one of his fatter stages, he has been significantly skinnier in the past. He never had a "good" physique though. I don't think many cricketers have had "good" physiques tbh. It's just not required and even counter-productive in some ways.

 

[smash84]

What do you mean by "good" physique?

 

[TheJediBrah]

What do you mean by "good" physique?

decent size, <10% bodyfat, not-horrible aesthetics

 

[mr_mister]

Eugh the word aesthetics reminds me of body building forums

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's a perfectly cromulent word

 

[jimmy101]

Embiggens the smallest man.

 

[smash84]

decent size, <10% bodyfat, not-horrible aesthetics

so you basically mean beach bodies? They are not very good for most sports.

 

[GIMH]

Has this started yet and is Freddie nominated

 

[smash84]

shady slim was supposed to start this, you can wait till the end of his final exams before this starts

 

[TheJediBrah]

so you basically mean beach bodies? They are not very good for most sports.

Or just your average Rugby, football, NFL, any athletics etc. player's body

as in what's good for most sports that involve any serious physical strength or explosiveness (not cricket, tennis or soccer)

 

[hendrix]

Very few rugby players are sub 10%. I can't think any off the bat. The most lean ones tend to be around 12-14%.

 

[smash84]

yeah sub 10% is a pretty high bar for professional athletes bar body builders. I can't think of any sport other than maybe the NFL and athletics that might have too many sub 10 percenters.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Anything else you want to knit-pick while you're going?

Cricketers generally don't have "good" physiques, make it 18% body fat, decent size, whatever. Doesn't make a difference. The point I was making was quite obvious.
