Players that you hate XI

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Yeah, I don't understand why so many people despise Katich, either. The only time he's acted untoward on the field (from memory) would have been at Trent Bridge 2005.
Gambhir incident, but we like to pretend that never happened :ph34r:

Find it hard to hate any players, they just have so little (public) character. Even guys like Symonds and Harbi can be so manufactured at times. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing, I don't know, but find it hard to base such strong feelings on something as trivial as a quote taken out of context, a heat of the moment reaction on a sporting field or the fact a guy gets injured constantly. Fact is most cricketers today are pretty boring.

Yeah, I don't actually hate cricketers' characters as such. My list was just based on players I don't particularly like watching, think are over-rated or don't think should have been selected in the first place.

Didn't realise people coming up with tenuous reasons to dislike cricketers was fun :p

Look I'd love to hate some cricketers, they're just pretty dull for the most part these days.
Haha, well in general we don't genuinely dislike them, but you know. Players we don't like seeing do well.

Based on those vote tallies, here's our Hate XI:

Vaughan (c), Warner, Ponting, Pietersen, Clarke, Bell, Symonds, Haddin, Harbhajan, Harmison, Powell

Bowling issues but a decent side otherwise.

The press is to blame for the Waner hate, he's been nothing but humble in the press, never appeared to have a big head.

I voted for him just because he made the Australian team without any hard work, if I was English I probably would have voted for Luke Wright.

I don't hate any players really, just picked Cricketers that annoy me no end.

How do you know he doesn't do any hard work?

Chimpanzees have taken up religion now, have they? I guess that's evolution in action. Maybe you won't need an infinite number of them to write some old ****e, such as Daniel Vettori's appallingly written autobiography.

Anyway, my number one reason for hating Michael Clarke is that claimed catch. Can't stand blatant cheating. Same reason for Haddin being on my list.
Do you also hate de Villiers for that catch? (Strauss)
