Cricket's cult figures...

[TheWackedYak]

Right now I can only think of Dizzy...Boof Lehmann was up there too.

McGrath's old haircut deserved cult status, but not the man himself.

Murali? funny looking bugger who can flat-stick take wickets.

Saeed Anwar's Al-qaida beard deserved cult status

Herschelle Gibbs? loves a spliff, takes a bribe and is as dumb as dog****!! Bats OK too...

Paul Adams...bowling action gives hope to the impaired (recently took 7-for too)

shame Kepler doesn't play any more...dual nations, face like a bulldog, no leg side...he was da man!!

Visit India and it's all Alan Border and Steve Waugh.

Billy Bowden's well on the way too. (Not in India!)

 

[wang]

A few of the most recent ones that come to mind are phil tufnell, pat symcox and ronnie irani

Yeah for some reason when I saw the topic I immediately thought of Lehmann.

 

[jim boy]

Inzamam-ul-Haq for his porcine resemblance

 

[Bomber Spirit]

In the media, Kerry O'Keefe is the biggest cult hero going around. That laugh - everyone either loves it or hates it. I love it.
Navjot Sidhu is the only other contender.

Ronnie Irani last season (obviously not for his cricket prowess! )

Gladstone Small,Merv Hughes, and Greg Matthews thought he was a cult figure......

Hell I recently heard him rabbling about himself being good enough to play for NSW. Sounds like a good bloke (maybe a bit out there), I enjoy listening to him on the ABC's sydney test match every now and then.

Funky Miller with his blue hair coulda been, but he didn't hang around long enough at the top level.
Kind of...
SS, SS, SS...
bang here I am blue hair and all, winning test cricketer of the year...
then - gone.

Merv! Merv! Merv! I love him, i wanna boof him get him up here.

Richie is the #1 cult figure going around, has been for ages.

Boony was a classiiiiiiiiiicc.

Definately Irani at the moment, or most recently

For looks, Dizzy, Lehman and Anwar. I miss Steve Waugh's hat flap though.

Paul Adams is a classic.

Waiting for a West Indian to grow a massive Afro, that will be a ripper.

Was Gladstone Small a cult figure on the strength of having no neck?

 

[fitzmantle]

Devon Malcom, he was a character.

Boof? well I guess being a fat arsed, old, bald, racist south australian, then hes definetaly a cult figure.
