It's my experience that most popular people are tossers of one sort or another. Lillee was the embodiment of Aussie machismo in the 70s.

He kicked Miandad like a bitch when his back was turned and hid behind the umpire when he retaliated. Certainly the embodiment of aussie faux machismo.

In Australia if you're not a tosser then you're barely even considered a man tbh

India - Munaf Patel, awesome guy, could seam it at 145 kph with no serious effort/training, can roll a fat doobie.

I read a story somewhere of how Lillee picked up a girl someone was trying to pull. Had the entire crowd eating out of the palm of his hands.

 

[Teja.]

Lillee too intense to be cool.

Shoaib Akhtar, that is a cool man.

I'll take your word on the doobie but come on. I saw a bit of Munaf and I'm not sure he even hit 145kph at his very best with a generously miscalibrated speed gun. Definitely not with effortless regularity as you're implying.

Haha nah it's actually true. It was just only for a short period.

You could never accuse Shaib of being too intense*, could you?

*giving a **** when it was a bit tough to bowl.

Was it a three over spell in one of those really important Sharjah tournaments back in the day?

Sir Jadeja

Agree withthe first two. Jadeja tries far too hard to be cool though. That sword thing he does is pure cringe. If it was a tv show it'd be an episode of Below Deck, it's that bad.

Yeah pretty much.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Even Craig bloody White of all people had half a season of bowling with genuine wheels

It never looked effortless though. Munaf was weird.

 

[Teja.]

Munaf bowled that way in tests to highly varying degrees of success too tbf.

The guy was injured a lot and definetly looked like he cbf in the 35 or so tests he played but you can’t really question his ability to bowl on extremely dead tracks tbh.

 

[TheJediBrah]

on the field Shoaib always looked like he was about to have an aneurysm

I can see him being a cool cat off the park though

 

[Teja.]

He said he would’ve been a small time mobster if he wasn’t naturally good at cricket. I can 100% believe that.

I'm not questioning his ability at all. I'm questioning his ticker.

Cut a ****ing swathe through Mosman when he played there in the early 2000s
