Cool dude list by country

[Prince EWS]

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

Ticker isn't necessarily cool though.

He may have been a defeatist peaheart but that can still be cool. Worthy enough nomination to the thread IMO.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah for sure. Not doubting that for a moment tbf.

 

[mr_mister]

Lol at Jadeja making the cut

 

[TheJediBrah]

Ticker isn't necessarily cool though.

This is true, if anything it's the opposite. Trying hard isn't cool.

Of course Merv Hughes and Max Walker were both ridiculously cool blokes in their prime.

 

[mr_mister]

Thommo was cool too

And Brendan Julian

 

[mr_mister]

Also, I dig Rohits persona

 

[stephen]

Do they still have the Julios vs nerds wars in the Australian dressing room? The Julios must surely be well and truly outnumbered in this day and age.

 

[Burgey]

This is true, if anything it's the opposite. Trying hard isn't cool.

You'd know, tbf

 

[Victor Ian]

Sehwag.

 

[harsh.ag]

Ashish Nehra FTW

 

[Burgey]

Is that because his first name nearly spells hashish?

 

[Jack1]

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.

You write that as if Dale Steyn isn't the biggest try hard in the history of the game.

Sehwag.

We have a winner for India folks.

England WG Grace
India Sehwag
West Indies Viv Richards

I'll think about the rest.

 

[ankitj]

Sehwag.

This.

 

[Jack1]

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

haha

 

[MrPrez]

How dare you.


That said, Imran Tahir is easily the coolest dude for South Africa.

 

[harsh.ag]

 

[Jack1]

It's close but I think Richie Benaud tops Keith Miller for Australia. I need to try and think of a better one for my list though (my serious list - opposed to the joke one in the OP ..lol..)

EDIT ...Mike Hussey might get the W

Australia Mike Hussey
England WG Grace
West Indies Sir Viv Richards
India Sehwag

That's my loading list - serious one.

 

[Prince EWS]

How dare you.

I don't really have the same general problem a lot do here with his wicket celebrations but I do think they preclude him for being particularly cool.

Oh, well if we're talking about traditional "cool" then it's clearly ABDV.
