Test Fattest XI

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Jesse Ryder would bowl first change here I reckon. Was a few season were his little 6 steps wobblers had him opening the bowling in early season county conditions.

Fat cat and post 85 Beefy demand inclusion too

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I loved Ridley Jacobs

Had one pretty good tour of Australia when the team was really struggling

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Daniel Smith's physique just screamed pub darts player, especially when combined with the hair

 

[philreich]

Inzamam was 6'3 high and 6'3 wide, which meant that he really struggled to keep his balance at times.

When Inzamam goes to the cinema, I'm led to believe that he takes up 2 seats - one at each end of the aisle.

Greatest Inzaman incident. An Indian spectator brings a megaphone to the game and repeatedly calls him a "fat potato" - he takes it poorly

Hahaha now THIS is good areas! And pleased to see UN Peacekeeper Steve Bucknor calming things down.

 

[1990crow]

Cosgrove stiff.

 

[Power Raid]

Cosgrove stiff.

he had the potential to be flabulous

They need to play a Skinniest XI, which I assume would be eleven Bruce Reids.

Marco Jansen and Fred Spofforth have to be locks

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Warwick Armstrong was so large they actually keep one of his shirts on display the the MCG Museum... Apparently he was in the ballpark of 130kg give or take. He tried to lose weight during the boat trip to England for an Ashes tour but ended up putting on MORE weight.

Ian Redpath would have to be in there. Most of him was adam's apple.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

How could you leave out poor Colin Milburn. He could have eaten Gatting and Boony for lunch. Great personality. If it hadn't been for his accident he would have been a star.

Yes, it was a loss to cricket when Milburn lost an eye in that car accident. He had a couple of years playing for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield and impressed everyone with his power hitting and made some huge scores. I saw him make 129 in very quick time at Adelaide Oval one day, he was one powerful unit.

He played VFL for South Melbourne as well. Apparently when he began his Test career he was fit and athletic at 10 stone, and it ballooned out to 22 stone at the end of his career.

 

[The Passenger]

Ian Redpath would have to be in there. Most of him was adam's apple.

I notice they've finally updated his CricInfo profile picture.

His old one looked like Freddie Mercury in his final days. Felt a bit macabre to be honest.

Colin Cowdrey

 

[Gough]

Ian Redpath

Aaqib Javed on his first tour looked like a poster child for a relief agency.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Colin Cowdrey

Probably for dinner!

 

[allrighty]

Probably for dinner!

What a gutsy player though!

 

[ioppolo]

What about verge of retirement Lasith Malinga?

 

[Tyberious Funk]

So apparently the Malinga picture is a fake;

But to be honest, the original still isn't flash for an elite sportman.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Put some respect on the man's name!

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

I would like to nominate this young fellow for a spot in the squad.

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Could this bloke make it through?

 

[Rabish Binney]

Could this bloke make it through?

Lucky not to play it on!
