Who is your favourite cricketer?

[marc71178]

If Mahela makes it,he'll be upsetting a few predictions.

Well he did, and I didn't get the money! !

 

[Rik]

Andy Flower - Amazing against spin, keeps scoring runs and big innings in ODIs FINALLY!
Heath Streak - His countries best bowler and even manages to score regularly with the bat, amazing outfielder
Brian Lara - The Guy's a Genious
Marcus Trescothick - Makes batting look so easy and scores damn fast too
Phil Tufnell - Ya gotta love him, hes totally mad and also a fellow SLA bowler...if way better than I ever will be!

 

[Rik]

Hayden seems to score at will against everyone all over the world...but he really struggled in England, he was good as an overseas player for Northants but strangely Hussey who is thought of as inferior to Hayden can't stop scoring over here and seems to be doing a better job, so maybe Hayden hasn't got England cracked?

My favourite players from all the major teams:

India - Sachin Tendulkar(no need to elaborate), Rahul Dravid(fighter to the core, exceptional technique)
SA - Jacques Kallis(immense value as batsman and bowler), Shaun Pollock(their only truly world class bowler)
NZ - Nathan Astle(one of the best batsmen of the modern era), Chris Cairns(genuine all-rounder, explosive in batting and a good bowler in helpful conditions)
SL - Muthiah Muralitharan(vying for the title of the greatest ever), Aravinda DeSilva(easily the best batsman SL has ever produced)
WI - Carl Hooper(a lot of wasted talent, very elegant and exceptional against spin), Brian Lara(genius, albeit a little flawed)
Aus - Matt Hayden(has come of age, exceptional against pace and spin), Glenn McGrath(accurate, penetrative, one of the best fast bowlers of all time)
Eng - Marcus Trescothick(has the talent and attitude to end up as an all-time great)
Zim - Andy Flower(one man army, plays great under extreme pressure, wonderful player of both pace and spin)
Pak - Waqar Younis(great fast bowler), Wasim Akram(greatest left arm pacer ever)

Afridi's problem is his 'upper story',

Was this predicting his hitting of the roof?!
