Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Yeah, I'm sure Flintoff cried. Must have been really gutted as we celebrated the win less than an hour later. Still, at least Brett emerged from the series with a nice 40 average, as did Flintoff mind but that was with the bat, to go with his 27 with the ball....that medicine, my word it must have been BITTER

Corrin should be thanking me. The way Vimes is treating negative votes, the way I've encouraged Pothas to vote for Flintoff is a net gain to the big man.

Loved Lee's approach to that whole series actually. A worthy runner-up.

Will go Fred, hoping ABDV makes the wildcard though.

 

[NUFAN]

AB de Villiers - due to his lack of ducks.

Freddie

ABdV. Damn the boy can field.

Oh come on. Did the sight of Flintoff sticking his arms up and his chest out in celebration not grate more than a little? Especially when he'd just got his man caught at deep-backward square off a long hop? Sure, pufff your chest out when you've bowled someone, but when you've been saved by a good fielding effort, don't take all the glory. As someone told me earlier in this thread, this is about who you like, not whose cricket was the best.

This, so much.

AB. Freaky fielder.

 

[G.I.Joe]

-1 ABDeV, for lack of an original name. Allan Border and Fanie DeVilliers are not to be messed with.

Much though I would love to vote Gary Pratt, the presence of Lee means my vote is for him.

Damn shame, would have gone for Pratt in most of the other categories.
