Most disliked cricketer of all time

[Pothas]

Dominick Cork has always been a player i have rather disliked. not a nice chap by what i have seen.

Love the way not only did I put Ian Chappell twice, but I spelt his name wrong too and nobody noticed!

Ian Chappell or even Chapple- so disliked he gets 2 entries. I bet his brother is jealous

I think it was superkingdave....the rest of us probably thought it would be impolite..:-P

Many of the guys here are mentioned for decent reasons but IMO the nastiest peice of work to play cricket was Roy Gilchrist. This man deserves to be hated.

Nasty fast bowler who thought nothing of bowling a beamer of 18 yards and intentionally trying to hurt the batsman. Altercations with batsmen, captains and anyone in general. Add in the fact that he held a red hot iron against his wifes face and was involved in other violent incidents mean that this guy surely must be up there with the worst.

Take that back. He's a hero, that man.

No he really isnt. Do you remember when Nasser made his defiant number 3 gesture at the press box in a ODI? Well i remember Mr Cork tried to reinact that with a number 7. Corks nasty contorted face almost ruined what was a brilliant England victory. Plus there was that Beckhamesque hair cut he had. A complete prat.

Irfan Pathan

Thats typical Shoaib Ahmad.

Though to be fair, Irfan has not won many friends in Pak after recording that amazing hattrick and making both Butt and Yousuf his good old bunnys

But inspite of winning the game, some still haven't forgotten Irfan Pathan's famous hattrick!

I voted for KP, but I'm very interested as to what it was Aamer Sohail did, apart from winding up Prasad in the '96 World Cup.

annoying commentary.. always praising or scolding Pakistan, as though the other team never matters in a cricket match.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Bill Lawry does the exact same thing, interspersed with Tony Grieg! Pain!

well you are right in a way, out of all the senior cricketers around the Lancashire CC, he is one of the least approachable.

Have you ever seen him off a cricket field?
One of these Andre Nel \ Glenn McGrath types - likes to make a big show on the field, to both wind-up batsmen and get himself going - but it's all on-field. Cork is certainly a very nice chap off-field - I'm sure le would tell you the same.

His relatively brief career means he's barely remembered.
Incidentally... there's a guy on these forums who uses him as his screenname...

Cork made that gesture in a Test that no-one ever looked like winning.
And Nasser found it uproarious, BTW.
