Worst Number XI ever...

[Richard]

A slog or two with whatever connection followed by a skyer or a flying stump isn't what I'd call entertainment.
But, of course, each to his own.

 

[age_master]

you must be the most boring person to watch cricket with....

 

[Richard]

Well comfort yourself that I'll never have the misfortune of watching any with you.
Anyway, I think my Dad quite enjoys watching it with me b'cos I get so wound-up when crap players do well.

Did you ever see Walsh bat? His stance was so exaggerated that it didn't really matter what he did, it was still entertaining. Even his leave alones brought a smile to the face.

Oh come on Liam - you're not going to watch Cricket with the intention of enjoying yourself are you?!

I agree 100% with that.

 

[Swervy]

its a different type of entertainment

 

[bennyr]

Does anyone else remember Bob Holland?

Worst "person holding a bat" ("batsman" would be too kind) I've ever seen by a long way.

Mike Whitney was also awful, particularly early in his career.

His "no, no" and raised glove when struck on the pad was cute enough.
His backlift-stuff was very like a right-handed Hinds in 2000.

Hinds was extremely unlucky in 2000.

 

[Richard]

Yes, I know. What has that to do with whether his backlift and Courteney's are similar?

 

[Langeveldt]

ditto this rich too....

I rave about guys with perfect techniques who play long crafted perfect innings... Dravids, Attapattus and Gangas (not long enough though)... Give me that over Shahid Afridi any day....

As well as pure bowlers, thats why admire AD so much more than a Shoaib Akhtar or a Wasim Akram......

Nothing wrong with Richards viewpoint, each to his own...

Absolutely nothing, but when did I suggest that it did/does?

You're out of line with that one Mr Master.
I can think of nothing finer for a lazy summer afternoon than supping claret beneath the cathedral at New Road while yer man engages me with racy tales of first chance averages. All while the opposition stick on about 150 for the last wicket.

 

[Jamee999]

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone remember any ginger cricketers, I can't remember any:rolleyes:

Since when was that ginger

 

[Neil Pickup]

Around the same time that 10-13 was -2...

 

[AUST_HiTMaN]

Mullally wasn't the greatest... lol. Average of 5.52? Cant say he was glowing with confidence when he came out to bat.

Macgill is a shocker, as much as i love his bowling, I have to close my eyes when he picks up the willow.

 

[Rik]

Paul Collingwood and Shaun Pollock immediately spring to mind.

I'd say Collingwood is more "reddy brown" than Ginger.

 

[Richard]

Absolutely nothing, but when did I suggest that it did/does?

By mentioning it in reply to what you mentioned it in reply to?
Maybe just a misplaced assumption on my part. :duh: ?

Still can't do any better than that eh?
