Top 5 cricket identities you would like to have a barbie with

[Plogs]

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)

 

[Mr P@H]

Stuart Broad, noone else.

 

[Scatter]

Flem - reckon he is a funny bugger

 

[tomemy]

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

That is very important.

 

[Plugger35]

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.

 

[Team Mo']

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.

 

[XFactor1979]

That is very important.

... that's great, but shes not yours

 

[emperor]

Chris Gayle - is there a cooler man in the world than this bloke? Team Mo' got it one "needs to be at every BBQ"

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)

 

[Gunnar Longshanks]

For mine:
Skull (Hundreds of amusing antidotes told in his trademark style. Knows how to nurse a can)

Will be handy if someone gets bitten by a humourless snake.

 

[eth-dog]

Chris Gayle- just a cool bloke. Bob Marley in the Background

Andy Flintoff- need to rub in the Ashes to someone

Richie Benaud- He's Richie. 'nuff said

Matty Hayden- need a good cook

Michael Clarke- Want the missus to be there

 

[emperor]

Micheal Clarke, cos he might bring his missus

That's no good, he might wanna leave early

 

[Seilum]

Peter Siddle - he could chop the wood for the BBQ

Lance Cairns

Trevor Chappell

Boonie

Richie

 

[Tex_21]

Boony-gotta get on it with a serious drinker (has been rumoured that it is common knowledge Roy can;t drink)
Funky Miller-known to be in the bar past midnight mid Test
Roy-seems like a good fella
Pete Siddle-ditto
Viv Richards-does it need to be said?

 

[Divado]

Fleming - Love his work when he is commentating
Warne - Legend
Gayle - As stated before, coolest man in Cricket
Flintoff - Loves a beer
Bill Lawry - He's a Victorian

 

[Belnakor]

Big Merv would also have to get a guersney

 

[stmookeyj]

Tony Cozier (WI commentator/historian)
Henry Blofeld (TMS Commentator)
Andy Flower (discussing Zimbabwe and England's failures)
Mark Taylor (so I can get a free Fujitsu plasmavision and air-con)
Matthew Hayden (the chef)

 

[Selective Retention]

Micheal Clarke, cos he might bring his missus

He'd just leave early.....you'd need Katich for security.

 

[Homer Jnr]

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.

 

[jesterwester]

He'd just leave early.....you'd need Katich for security.

And Mike Hussey to delay the barbie song until after midnight!

Tony Cozier (WI commentator/historian)
Henry Blofeld (TMS Commentator)
Andy Flower (discussing Zimbabwe and England's failures)
Mark Taylor (so I can get a free Fujitsu plasmavision and air-con)

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
