Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

[bagapath]

SIR LEN HUTTON gets my vote since I know braddles would make it to the finals anyway.

 

[Jono]

Has to be between Kumble and Flower. Going Kumble as I never postponed a root to watch Andy score his century.

Kumble for me. Love him to bits.

 

[Dasa]

Kumble.

Goughy, got a bit of character about him. Not that Waugh hasn't.

EDIT: Also, does anyone else have the presumption that Goughy (the CW member) looks exactly like Darren?

 

[andyc]

Easiest choice yet; three Englishman (including one terrible failure at Test level) vs. the man who typified the good old days of crushing England (and everyone else). Steve Waugh
