[Damien Martyn]

World's Favourite Cricketer

Who is your ALL TIME FAVOURITE CRICKETER?! it can be anyone ever... Mine well i bet you know

 

[masterblaster]

My All Time Favourite: Wasim Akram (Pakistan)

He has been the greatest fast bowler I have ever seen play. He eclpises anybody who has picked up a leather ball. A true legend.

Honourable Mentions:

Sachin Tendulkar (India)

A true Icon, he is the greatest batsman I have ever seen play live and with my own eyes. He is the champion for our generation, the greatest in our generation

Rahul Dravid (India)

A hardworking and honest guy, (im not jumping on the hate bandwagon yet). One mistake doesnt eclipse 12 years of impeccable behaviour and modesty.

Brian Lara (West Indies)

Brilliant, simply brilliant to watch. A treat for eyes all around the world. Second greatest batsman of my generation.

David Hookes (Australia)

A brilliant timer of the ball, a sharp, witty and likeable man. A true legend amongst legends. May God bless his soul.

 

[Pratters]

My favourites :-

Gilly is by far number 1.

Lara comes in at two

And Tendulkar at 3.

Gilly, Lara, Tendulkar.. what a combo.. gosh I love them!

 

[deeps]

Stephen Rodger Waugh

 

[Tom Halsey]

Shane Keith Warne.

 

[Gaijin-san]

Michael Clarke
Marcus North
Adam Gilchrist
Beau Casson

I admit I'm not very old so I haven't SEEN too many years of cricket, but I go back a while. But it's still current players who are my favourites.

 

[BlackCap_Fan]

He has been the greatest fast bowler I have ever seen play. He eclpises anybody who has picked up a leather ball. A true legend.

yes.he was good.But I think that Sir Richard Hadlee is better.Maybe not on the batting side,but his bowling side was magnificent.He could bat too,he had a couple of centuries.

 

[Salamuddin]

Hadlee was a brilliant bowler but he was part of a weak attack overall unlike Wasim who at various times had to compete with Imran, Waqar, Abdul Qadir and Mushtaq Ahmed.
Not to mention Shoaib Akhtar as well in the later part of his career.

That should be noted when comparing the two.
