can't say that I have too many favorites apart from some Kiwis & Aussies........but there are a few that I like at different times for one reason or another.......

Fleming, Marshall, Ponting, Martyn, Gillespie & McGrath amongst the former.............

the latter currently includes the likes of Harmison - it's good to see another 'quick' coming good;
the young PAK batsmen for their fearless attitude;
Dravid for his tenacity & class.............

most others I can run hot / cold on depending on form / circumstances etc........or it's still too early to tell one way or another..............
