FFS, Can't vote for Wright, he's just rubbish, minus Hayden, for the pain hes caused me over the years, not just scoring zillions of runs but scoring zillions of ugly, ugly runs.

Wright. Call it now!

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Pfft. Damian Martyn I guess.

Those were my thoughts exactly but I can't not vote for the underdog from Sussex

Hayden

 

[Burgey]

Staggered he hasn't been pressed into the test team yet, given the way these things normally work.

Hope he kicks on tbh.

As for this one, Wasim Akram.

Honestly, WAFG. Loved this bloke so much as a cricketer, from the first time I saw hom in 89-90. Complete gun. Cannot speak highly emough of my regard for him as a cricketer.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Wright, shocking battle.

 

[Burgey]

Hayden.

Not my favourite round, this one.

 

[Prince EWS]

Worst battle.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Marto, quite easily.

Used to say the true test of a cricket fan was whether they enjoyed watching Damien Martyn bat.

Damien Martyn.

 

[NUFAN]

Matthew Hayden.

Did anyone see his emotion when he was given the award for his services to cricket yesterday? What a gun.

 

[Johnners]

Mark Waugh. With ease. This is the easiest battle so far.

Hussey is dull. So deathly, deathly dull. He's like a little kid with OCD crossed with an accountant or Clapo. Bevan was a pain in the neck. I actually enjoyed watching Mark Waugh play. Simple.
