Which player irratated you the most?

[St-KriS]

Whenever you sat down to watch a game, who's the guy that got under ur skin the most? I'd have to say for me, it was Hadlee. Seemed very smug and arrogrant. But I suppose he had good reason when he was one of the all time greats, but still, he did seem to irratate me a fair bit.

Ganguly would have to be on top of my list of the current players.

Yours?

Shaun Pollock

 

[Unwritten_Law]

I never did like Hanse Cronje. Of the current players Kallis would have to be right up there.

 

[Nige_Bix]

The wicket keepers - the way they keep yacking behind the stumps - probably a legacy of the stump cam/mike!

Apart from that - Kallis -when he bowls and Ganguly when he walks onto the field!

 

[BT]

NZ - McMillan
India - Ganguly/Harbijahn
SA - Kallis

 

[McAlmanac]

Ganguly - the elitist cheat.

 

[J.Gallagher #1]

Nasser Hussain

 

[EagleBlue]

Kallis - have to laugh everytime Gilly, Hayden, Ponting etc, belt his cannon-fodder/short crap bowling to the boundary, the look on his face suggests he should have got a wicket

Ganguly - his behaviour as a skipper (especially when Aus toured India in 2001) is a disgrace to the game.

Donald - (see Kallis) although at least he could bowl.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Rangatunga by a mile. Racist scum he was.

Australian players - Tim Zoehrer.

 

[manmountain]

Ganguly - spoilt rich kid
Ranatunga - fat racist git
Lara - brat wasting his talents
McGrath - biggest sook in cricket

Harsh call that. He has made the most of his talents in the last couple of years.

He's averaged 71.96 from his last 16 Tests and his overall Test average is 51.55, which is higher then Steve Waugh's.

Perhaps he hasn't made the fullest use of his ability at times but he's still had a damn fine career.

England - Nasser Hussain
India - Ganguly
Sri Lanka - Murrilitheran (the chucker)
Pakistan - Inzaman Ul-Haq
South Africa - Pollock
West Indies - Hooper (only recently retired)

Zimbabwe and Bangladesh I just feel sorry for.

All time
Australia - Glen McGrath (how he hasn't been suspended is a disgrace to the ICC, he's a spoilt little sh**)
England - Geoffrey Boycott and Douglas Jardine (the latter only because of what he did to cricket, appartley W.G. Grace was no better).
India - Gangully
Sri Lanka - Aravinda De Silva
Pakistan - too hard to call
South Africa- Pat Symcox
West Indies - Richie Richardson
New Zealand - Haddle.

He was suspended for a one-dayer during the 2001/02 one-day series.

And I agree with you, can't stand him. Immature spoilt whinging brat. Considering the personal and team success he's had during his career, he has nothing to complain about.

You'd have enjoyed one last Saturday.

England had bowled them out for 107 and were having a nice little stroll to the target when Kallis 'beat' (it was actually a flail at a wide ball) one of the English batsman (Solanki I think) and starts some jaw work.

Next ball is hit with contempt into the Grandstand, the following one smacked over mid-on for 4 more.

I think he shut up then (3 overs for 33 does that to you

They have another one, Andre Nel, who tried giving Flintoff some advice last week. Lets just say it didn't work.

 

[hans moleman]

chalk up a 2nd vote for pat symcox.

 

[Generalissimo]

Australia- Glenn McGrath (only when he opens his mouth. When he gets on with the bowling, I have nothing but respect for him)
England- wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.harmison.com
India- Sourav Ganguly
Sri Lanka- The Baseballer (aka Murali)
South Africa- Pollock

I like Andy Bichel.

Damien Martyn. Somehow he keeps getting selected despite not having half the talent of other Sheffield Shield batsmen.

Love, Clarke, Blewett, Hodge to name a few.

Blewett's had umpteen chances to prove himself at international level and progressively got worse as his career went. Had some serious technical flaws that he never managed to overcome.

Hodge has been too inconsistent throughout his career, although it would be interesting to see whether he could cut it at international level.

Clarke should be in the side right now, but in the place of S. Waugh, not Martyn. Love is in a similar position.

Martyn deserves his spot in the side.

 

[Pedro]

Andy Caddick. Don't know why. Just seems like a bit of a pompous git to me. I also hate the way the commentators carried on about him and his secong innings bowling record. Esecially when the the Aussies were making 500-600 in the first dig when it matters most

Who's that? Never heard of him. I just checked Test Cricket Tens and it says he only played ten tests in the mid 80s. He must have been a real nutcase if you still dislike him. Details?
