Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

[Burgey]

Klusener. Mainly because I didn't see Gower play.

You missed out mate. A great stylist. Like a left handed Mark Waugh, only prettier to watch even, imo.

And a great sense of humour too.

In 89, when Marsh and Taylor batted through the 1st day of the 4th(?) test, one of them got out just before lunch day two. Geoff Lawson walked into the lunch room to see Gower with a glass of champers. Asked him what he was doing - "I'm celebrating our wicket, Henry". Class act.

Gower. Class ftw.

 

[King Pietersen]

Gower.

[NUFAN]

I never warmed to frog, zulu or harry - David Gower FTW.

 

[The Sean]

Gower by a street. Wonderful player and, as Burgey has noted, a top man too.

 

[Somerset]

I'd usually vote for Harris but I doubt he'll attract too many votes so will give Lance Klusener a chance at beating David Gower.

 

[andmark]

David Gower (saying how bad England were playing in the Ashes): Bring on the clowns! Oh wait, there they are.

 

[Zinzan]

Chris Harris

 

[four_or_six]

Gower, easily.

 

[zaremba]

Gower. No-one's been blessed with more natural talent at hitting a cricket ball, ever. Amazing to watch. Never really hinted at permanence because you always feared he'd do something silly, which was a shame because very few bowlers were ever too good for him.

Diminutive left-hander

5'11" FTR.

 

[Jono]

Klusener. What a gun.

 

[fredfertang]

David Gower - from the line of Trumper, as they say

 

[Athlai]

Harris

 

[Cruxdude]

Lance Klusener

 

[Himannv]

Klusener for me.

Gower

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Smaller than me = diminutive
