let’s remember some guys

[Smudge]

Fanie's not a guy. Richard Snell was a guy.

God, Snell's leg cutters were dishy. Almost as dishy as his face and gorgeous hair.

Just like your face and posts.

Wait a minute...

Craig Matthews was another guy.

 

[Shady Slim]

trent lawford not notable enough to be a guy i feel given he never played internationals but i love seeing him get mentioned in this thread by @TheJediBrah @GoodAreasShane

it takes a true legend to bring those two together and lawfers lawford is that legend

 

[Gnske]

James Muirhead, guy supreme.

most teams have a period of utter dearth at a position where they have a guy wheel and it’s glorious

australian spinners between warne and lyon. the openers for england for cook’s mid and late career. and so on

 

[Gnske]

Oh Shady you dog, that reminds me of the time I saw famed guy Sam Robson get castled at Lords in an FC match in 2014 after all that talk here about how his stumps were a gaping anus of a target.

Those post-Ashes England rebuild days were something. Some might say it hasn't stopped.

The Strikers have certainly had a fair few quintessential guys over the years

 

[Athlai]

Remember the Palanes? God they were such guys

 

[Pup Clarke]

Andrew Hall

 

[Line and Length]

While not a "guy" in the context of the OP, Colin Milburn was a great guy who was lost to cricket far too soon.

 

[Pothas]

Andrew Hall

Chris Morris a more recent equivalent. A very South African type of guy.

This thread has longs since been derailed and I can't be arsed to read it all or even be sure what it's actually about.
But England selected Mal Loye in his mid 30's for an ODI series in Australia and the commentators (on English radio, not sure about Australian TV) were salivating after he slog swept Brett Lee for 6 early on. It was all down hill from there but he was a real HE-man in that moment.

 

[Howsie]

Mal Loye was my favourite cricketer for like two months during that summer. He didn’t really do anything other than play that shot half a dozen times but I couldn’t believe someone had done that to Brett Lee.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I remember he top edged a sweep off Mcgrath right into his chin. Brutal sound.

 

[andruid]

Andrew Hall

And his partner in Guy-ness Charl Langevelt

 

[Howsie]

Yeah I remember that too. McGrath got him out like next ball with a bouncer iirc.

He put Mitchell Johnson out of the ground too, this one was huge. Someone earlier was talking about the definition of a guy, well I think Mal Loye might be a pretty good answer
