Ok when i was living in Dubai, I think it was in the summer of 1997 when India, Pakistan and West Indies toured for a tri series. The hotel where the players stayed was pretty close to my house! I met and got the autographs of:
Sachin Tendulkar (also got a photo with him hehe)
Ajay Jadeja
Mohammad Azharuddin
Sunil Gavaskar
Ravi Shastri
Brian Lara
Wasim Akram
Rawl Lewis (remember him?)
Of the whole, Jadeja was the most friendly person. He joked around with all the fans. Ravi Shastri behaved like a snob. And so did Azharuddin.

Crikey, this sort of thread really makes you feel small.
Best I can do is bit-part international players like Crofty, Maynard, James, Jones and Watkin. Plus Gavin Larsen, an ODI specialist and long-retired Dermot Reeve, who's at just about every England international.
Larsen seemed a really nice guy, though, and he'd just got 10 overs for 19 (if I remember rightly).
I also met Simon Hughes but as has been said he never made the international scene. The stuff he notices is amazing; he routinely picked-out stuff even I hadn't spotted.
