Just say 'AB' man, the de Villiers bit is redundant.

Bracewell has some cool tattoos.

Probs should have a thread about cricketers with the best tattoos tbh.

From the Guardian"

There is a story about Chris Gayle, now as well-worn as the old pair of pads under the bench at the back of the changing room. The punchline is a little offensive, so if you’re squeamish skip ahead to the next paragraph. It was at Arundel, back in 2004. West Indies were playing a tour match against the MCC. There was a dinner one evening during the match, hosted by John Barclay, old Etonian, once-and-then-future president of the MCC, and as Mike Selvey puts it in his version of the tale, “all-round good egg”. Barclay, keen to kickstart the conversation, launched into a disquisition about his own recollections of Jamaica; the beaches at Boston Bay, the Blue Mountains, Dunn’s River Falls, that sort of thing. On and on he went, until he finally paused to take breath. At which point Gayle turned to him and said: “You get much pu$$y?”

Maxwell. He has that kind of uncomplicated mate-ish coolness around him.

England - John Snow
Australia - Doug Walters
West Indies - Andy Roberts
India - Syed Kirmani
Pakistan - Majid Khan
New Zealand - Richard Collinge
South Africa - Brian McMillan
Sri Lanka - Asanka Gurusinha

After South Africa had wrapped up the match by 197 runs, the action shifted to Cape Town. During the Test, Brian McMillan and Allan Border went at each other, unleashing a torrent of verbal abuse that even the hardened sledgers found difficult to swallow.

At tea, Border was winding down with a cup in hand when McMillan borrowed a AK-47 from a soldier posted, and ****ed it at the Australian captain with the words: ”Anything to say now?”

Dean Jones wrote later in The Age “AB went white! Many of the South Africans thought it was funny. AB didn’t, nor anyone else in our team. McMillan handed the gun back to the soldier, and the game went on.”
The series was shared 1-1.

[G.I.Joe]

That's the exact opposite of cool.

 

[ImpatientLime]

ABDV and that desperate attempt to salvage whats left of his hair is the very opposite of cool.

geezer needs to shave it off, then we'll talk.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Mark Craig looks like a possible cool kid.

 

[Dan]

That's the exact opposite of cool.

Yeah, indeed. "Oh hey, you know what would be cool, threatening to shoot someone over a cricket match! Hilarious, amirite boys? Boys...?"

 

[Swingpanzee]

Another reason why we should stop referring to Border as AB. The real AB is a cool bloke who smashes inept attacks for fun and then wins nobel prizes with ease.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Misbah is a cool cat or as cool as a cucumber as Rambo constantly mentions.

 

[karan316]

Damien Martyn is the coolest cricketer ever.
