So far we have
1. Vizzy - Hopeless Captain of India 1936
2. Ashoka DeSilva - Internaytional Umpire (entire career I presume)
3. Scott Muller (I am not clear about his claim to fame)
4. Darren Gough (Better dancer or bowler)
5. Shane Warne whose finger was broken 'allegedly' during batting on a cricket field without protection.
6. Shakoor Rana - the Pakistani who brought the Empire on its knees or so he thought with that scrap that ended in scrap paper.
7. Hussain for being too scared (too smart) to bat first in an Ashes test.
8. Ricky Ponting for showing he could be as 'good' a captain as Hussain.
9. Gavaskar who almost beat Inzy for being the first captain to forfeit a match when he walked off the field and asked his batting partner to join him to leave the field.
10 Gavaskar again for showing the world how to chase what was then the highest ever one day international score of 334 - by scoring an unbeaten 36 in 174 deliveries !
We can add..
11. Inzy for his handling of Pakistan's protest at Oval
12. Kapil for breaking down in public ??
13. Dhoni for trying to murder Monty
14. Rikky Clarke for being out of his depth !!
15. Mick Lewis - because Baconator says so (kidding but do need a clarification)
16. Darell Hair for insisting on being true to himself at the Oval.
17. Tony Greig for putting his foot in his mouth when he said they would (Windies) would grovel when he actually meant themselves (England)
18. John Emburey for being confirming he was competely insensitive to apartheid issues by touring South Africa not once but twice during that period.
19. Aamir Sohail for his misplaced arrogance in showing the Venky where he would hit him and being showed his way back to the pavillion the next ball AND losing the match in the process.
20. Hansir Cronje for being so villaneous that some of the softest hearts found it tough to shed tears when he died so young.
21. Salim Malik for exactly the same reasons as Cronje except he was from the subcontinent where brooms are far more efficient and the carpets far bigger.
22. Azhar for the same reasons as Malik and Cronje.
23. Malcolm Speed for being making a terrible case for professional CEO's to head the game's governing body.
24. Ehsan Mani for being as effective as a broom that was all handle and nothing else.
25. West Indian selectors for the 'inspired' choice of Chanderpaul as captain.
26. Glen McGrath for his 'vision' of a 5-0 result in the Ashes
27. Mark Waugh for being off target about Lara's longevity in the game.
28. Afridi for thinking everyone of the millions watching were as dumb as ....well....himself.
29. Tino Best (for I dont know what)
30. Gatting for that 'sweep of the century' in 87 WC finals.
31. Shoaib Akhtar for tempting fate with his cleaning act.
32. Inzy again for choosing to bat on a bad pitch under unfavourable conditions in the Champions Trophy versus Windies (didnt know he was advised thus by Ganguly)
33. Jagmohan Dalmiya for making mincemeat of the election process by voting for himself not once but four times in the same ballot.
34. Greg Chappell for being "underhand within the law"
35. Shaun Pollock for his 'understanding' of D/L method in a world cup match.
36. Inzy for his consistently maintaning his running-between-the-wicket-standards thorough a long and eventful career and his propensity to falling over himself, his bat, his stumps...a blade of grass and so on.
I have added a couple of new ones as can be seen.
Any more ??
