Hated Viv Richard's as he always killed England
After he retired and gave his insight into the game and I appreciate how good he actually was, I now love him
A great story from Chis Cowdrey
Cowdrey, had been appointed England captain. All excited, he went out for the toss, impeccably dressed in whites and the England blazer. Richards came out wearing a Bob Marley T-shirt, surfing shorts and flip-flops. Cowdrey, true to tradition, started reading out the team list for the opposing captain when Richards stopped him after four names and said: “Play who you want, Man. Ain’t gonna make any difference.”
She went right downhill after all her surgery.Jordan
You're talking shite pal.Leave out football which could become a bit predictable
Loved - Mohammad Ali, greatest athlete and showman
Hated - Alex Higgins, an embaressment to a gentlemans game
Changed my opinion of him when asked to pick his best three players for each position and he picked 3 Australian wicket keepers for those positions Either one of Alan Knott, Bob Taylor or Jack Russel should of been included in that specialist position for one of his selections. He had made a lot of money from the British tax payer over the years working for the BBC and I think it was a massive snub to English cricket. He showed his true colours for me and for that he can fuck off.Ritchie Benaud: fine bowler, good batsman, outstanding captain. Became a great commentator. Example: Botham comes back into the England side after suspension for possession of cannabis; in his first over he takes two wickets and only a dropped catch prevents a third;
Benaud: Time for me to hand over commentary, I'm just off to catch up with the latest edition of Boys Own Paper.
Priceless. Loved him.
Graeme Swann
The best spinner I’ve seen represent England and his video diaries during the away Ashes series in ‘10 are well worth a watch. He’s a funny guy. KP might disagree though.
Good thread this. It was our discussion at the breakfast table in work this morning.
I loved Mike Tyson in his prime. Chris Eubank was class entertainment.
I can't stand the whining voices of the Aussie cricket team in any era. "Played Warney!" and all that over the top ooh-ing and aah-ing at every ball to try and put the batsmen off.
The All Blacks piss me off with their daft dance whilst pulling ludicrous faces.
Gerwin Price is a thundercunt of the highest order. Always looks like he's about to glass someone.
The ultimate has to be Steve Smith though. Crocodile tears, no shame and lack of humility last summer.
