Hated Players

[LankanPrince]

ahh good thread

1. Muttiah Muralitharan (Regardless of his action which has been done to death here, he comes across as a bit of a t*** generally)

2. Saurav Ganguly

3. Brad Williams


Ill think of some more later, especially if WI manage to beat SA lol...

Hmm, T*** is quite a harsh word to describe someone you don't know very much about. How has Murali ever come across like this? At most he is a little eccentric, but whats wrong with that? He a little different to your average cricketer and he definitely brightens the game up with his competitive but friendly nature. It is competely unfair to label him a T*** or whatever that is. I would love to know where you got this idea from, pleeeeease tell me?:!(

I think Shane Warne has a very high opinion of Shane Warne, but he doesn't annoy me as much as Boycott did.

I think as a general rule those players who pick and choose when they want to represent their country annoy me more than anything else.

Well, then, you won't like many cricketers!
Anyone is entitled to a break sometimes with the amount of international cricket played ATM.

Actually, Shane Warne is one of the more modest cricketers around.

Let me clarify...

I have no problem with a player taking a break for a match or two to rest.

I just hate players that decide they won't play on certain tours because they don't want to or they have lucrative foreign first class contracts.

 

[Anil]

Disrespect for the game/his opposition?

What???:O :O :O

Talk about prejudice! The guy just can't do anything right, can he? How can a smiling face be regarded as a disrespectful one?

That doesn't happen that much.
Hayward was a recent example, but he signed the contract because he got in one of his customary strops and vowed he'd never play for SA again.
But in the old days picking and choosing tours wasn't unusual by any streatch of the imagination.

Im in no way prejudiced against Sri Lankans or any cricketers, but Im not chuffed at some guy with a batting average of sod all having a laugh at the bowlers all the time... It could be classed as intimidation, and he was terrible against England....

 

[Neil Pickup]

C'mon Rich... this is one of the worst arguments I've heard since "India will win the World Cup because Ganguly is left handed".

No Smiling allowed in International Cricket!

 

[Langeveldt]

I think its quite a valid argument, he certainly did enough to wind the Englishmen up to breaking point... I know im pretty much alone in not respecting Murali, so any comments on the other cricketers!?

 

[Richard]

Winding batsmen up is a valid tactic.
Warne's done it all his career.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Forget McGrath and the rest!!:P
