Worcestershire. 
And TBH, unless Mason's changed his action since I last watched him (would've been about 2003) I'm not too sure what's wrong with it. 
Not poetry-in-motion or anything, but fairly run-of-the-mill.

Like Jacques Kallis's action. Looks to be putting maximum effort to get the ball across as quickly as possible, and the grunt just adds to it. On top of that he swings the ball as well, which I find quite interesting.
Used to love watching Waqar as well. The timing and rhythm in that action was apparent for all to see, and in combination with what was often the end result it provided the most entertaining total package from a bowler I've ever seen.

Like: Klusener - comeon, he looks like he is going to rip your throat out with his right hand
Dislike: Flintoff, he just lumbers into the crease and looks like he is going to fall over, plus his ankle.

oh wow is that a first ?
Like RP Singh and Sehwag bowling off spin.
just don't like Tait's action just looks like he has no co-ordination and there's something that really irks me about M Johnson's action as well.

I hate Graham Swann's. No idea why.

Upon reading said post, thought "Matthew, I hope". Can't fathom how anyone could actively dislike Ian Bell's batting TBH.

Yeah, one of the more attractive batsmen going around.

hmm, v. similar to Hadlees.
As for Ian Bell, very schoolboy looking batting technique, which is no bad thing but lacks much initiative or 'dog'.
For bowers I like either smooth or the very natural and unforced.
There are many to mention but Donald and Craig White would fit the categories
