I'd rather stand still without equipment on and have Brett Lee throw bouncers at me, than watch Azhar win this. :dry:

What if he nailed you in the crotch? :ph34r: You sure you'd take that over an Azhar win?

with a bouncer...??:ph34r:
on a shady pitch? :ph34r: tbh, i have a real problem with balls coming around my thighs because i have trouble working the ball to the leg side. i actually take guard on leg stump to negate the lbws and allow me to hit everything on the off-side.

I was a pretty big fan of Azhar but going to go with Hanif Mohammad on this one.

Well if it hit my crotch, it wouldn't be a bouncer anymore :D

hanif mohammad he was supposed to be a great batsman like azhar. but he played cricket for his country to win and never fixed matches for money. throw the criminals out please.

Azharuddin was one of my favourite players, and he went to school with my father and uncles (and one of my uncles used to trump him with the bat, but never pursued cricket which is sad), but I'll vote Hanif mohammad as he was probably the better player, and obviously the more honest one.

You can't really vote Azhar over Hanif when on top of the match fixing vs. no match fixing, Mohammad has a 499 in first class cricket, and that amazingly defiant 337 (longest innings ever, easily the greatest 300+ score ever). When you put it all into consideration its hard to vote Azhar. Really all he has going for him is that he was likely the better batsman to watch.
