View Full Version : Top 5 cricket identities you would like to have a barbie with
For mine:
Skull (Hundreds of amusing antidotes told in his trademark style. Knows how to nurse a can)
Flintoff (Big bloke who will hold his piss & should push the event into an all-nighter)
Roy (Would bring snapper or Barra to put on the barbie)
Tufnell (Disillusions of grandeur which will attract direct & indirect ridicule from the other attendees. Should drag a couple of 2-bit slappers along which will become fodder later in the piece)
Viv Richards (Cool kat who would add a Calypso feel to the event. May be some friction when Tuffers's 2-bit slapper gravitate toward the master blaster)
Stuart Broad, noone else.
Flem - reckon he is a funny bugger
Garry Sobers, Greatest ever, also loved a drink
Shane Warne, 2nd Greatest ever, be a fun bloke on the piss i reckon
Kerry O'Keeffe, funny bastard
Andy Symonds, loves to be a dick on the piss
Micheal Clarke, cos he might bring his missus
Haydos and the Pidge - they can do the cookin :D

Why would anyone invite Symonds to their barbie? There would probably be a punch up within the first 5 mins.
I'd invite,
Shane Warne - great cricketer, interesting bloke and also a Saints supporter.
Damien Fleming - funny bloke who can tell some great stories.
Michael Kasprowicz - met him in a pub once and he's a top bloke with a good sense of humour.
Mark Richardson - the Kiwi version of Damien Fleming.
Billy Birmingham - To do imitations of everyone else that isn't there.

I'd invite:
Shane Warne: Top bloke who would have plenty of stories.
Andrew Symonds: Hits the piss hard and seems very Blokey which is of course required.
David Warner: Need to be smarter then someone there.
Kerry O'Keefe: Someone to laugh at.
Chris Gayle: The coolest guy in the world needs to be at every BBQ.

... that's great, but shes not yours
Chris Gayle - is there a cooler man in the world than this bloke? Team Mo' got it one "needs to be at every BBQ" :D
Greg Matthews - another good story teller, I'd love to ask him about that sendoff he gave that Indian in the tied test
Bill Lawry - tells a good yarn, and seems like a genuinely good bloke
Kerry O'Keeffe - the laugh
Andrew Flintoff - need a pommy pisspot at every BBQ. Could be interchanged for Ian Botham or Fred Trueman (i know he's dead)

Micheal Clarke, cos he might bring his missus
He'd just leave early.....you'd need Katich for security.

Haydos - He can cook and would be good to pick the brain of.
Roy - Not much needs to be said.
Andy Bichel - Seems to be the type who'd be uber interesting on the drink, and he is god!
Kerry O'Keeffe - Would be talk long into the evening, and never lose his spark
Harbhajan Singh - See if he rocks up and fronts Roy face-to-face.

dont think it would be a problem getting up early for work after that bbq.
1. Boonie- solid mo should have no problem participating in an old fashioned binge
2. Merv- comic relief, his mo is also outstanding
3. Doug Walters- chain smoking beer swilling international sportsman gotta respect that
4. Flintoff- some poms are ok he seems like one of them
5. Ronnie Irani- means there will be an international cricketer there that i will be better than
