Strauss sounds about as English as a plate of chicken foo-yong... When did he move?
The family moved - via Melbourne - to England when Strauss was 6.
Unlike all the other South African-English cricketers, not a trace of accent or sentiment remains.

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....

One of the crappiest arguments I have ever heard ...... I think Rich hates murali because Murali flat batted Donald (Rich's Hero) over his head for Six !!! :D :D :D

Tino Best for me. Well I dont 'hate' him, I just dislike him with passion. He's one ****y little booger.

I thought he had 'character' - but I'm rapidly changing that to 'is a prat'. His run-ins with authority don't exactly endear Best to umpires - the latest beamer incident is just the latest in an ever'growing line. He'll soon be that throwback to yesteryear - the Amateur Cricketer - because he seems to lose much of his match fee quite regularly now.

I've disliked Best intensely ever since I realised the regularity with which he bowled Beamers and come to the conclusion that they cannot possibly all be accidental.
The Lloyd 2002 incident was merely the beginning and I've never interpreted it for a second as "character".

Hated players:

1) Kyle Mills - Worst. Bowler. Ever. Bad hairstyle does't help either.
2) Craig McMillan - Useless batsman, not helped by a brain the size of a pea.
3) Chris Harris - Used to be a favourite, now he's just crap.
4) Glenn McGrath - He has slid down (or up?) the rankings in the last year or so though
5) Shane Warne

Pietersen actually strikes me as being more "Aussie" than English... (No offence Aussies)

I'd love to tell that to his face
he strikes me of being more tw*t than anything.

I hate people who hate people for no apparent reason, especially when they admit it's for no apparent reason. 8-)

I hate Peter Roebuck. And it has nothing to do with the Garner/ Botham/ Richards thing, I've never supported Somerset. I simply find him to be a loathsome little creep.

And being a childbeater doesn't really help..
