How do you say that when its on people's tastes though? It's not like it's about who is the better cricketer.

There is no tangible "more favourite player" (unless we did a poll, or contest as we're seeing now).

I find the story of Hanif's innings amazing, I reckon I'd vote him over many. May not be alone there.

Right there with ya. Hanif.

I have a lot of respect for Henry Olonga as a person, but Graeme Pollock is one of my favourite batsmen, so I'll vote for him.

Henry Olonga.

I always wanted him to do well for Zim and enjoy his commentary and his singing voice!

Pollock. Same reasons as I voted for Hanif in the previous rounds.

 

[morgieb]

Respect for Olonga and McGain, will go Pollock however. One of the more under-rated batsman ever.
