LOL!! The same could be said of Rob Key - I find it hard to belive anyone could actually dislike the guy for the same reasons!!

[Teatime FatCat]

There seem to be a couple I really dislike, but somehow find it difficult to pin down -

Ganguly - Just looks sooooooo Snooty, not as good as he thinks he is!

Peter Roebuck - For being such a shameless turncoat nd knifing his mother country in the back - continuously

Jeff Thompson - For keeping the arrogant Aussie stereotype alive


I'm sure I'll think of some more..............

[DaveGillespie]

People who don't (currently) play:

Alec Stewart - Arrogant know all, and without any reason for being so
Tony Greig - No loyalty to anyone bar Kerry Packer and the almighty gods of finance, arrogant git
Jagmohin Dalmiya - Would try to get Ganguly off with first degree murder and would probably succeed
Ian Botham - Arrogant, changes his mind every five seconds
Bob Willis - Dullard, arrogant, sounds like an echo when commentating with Botham
Dermot Reeve - Do I need to explain this one?
Darren Lehman - If I hear the words "Ashley Giles" and "negative" in the same sentance coming out of his mouth one more time I'll ****** scream

Current Players:

Graeme Smith - Ugly, terrible technique, bad attitude, big time charlie
Mark Boucher - Bits and pieces player, can't bat, can't bowl, can't keep wicket
Jacques Kallis - Lazy, boring, selfish, extra hate points for being Jacques Kallis
Scott Styris - Dullard
Shoaib Akhtar - Big time charlie, foppy haircut, all round tube
Sourav Ganguly - Can't bat, seems very reluctant to actually finish a game
Zaheer Khan - Overrated, can't string two games together
Kevin Pietersen - A bit too arrogant, terrible taste in haircuts, about as English as a Kangaroo
GO Jones - "Enjoys his cricket" too much.
Brett Lee - See Shoaib Akhtar
Ricky Ponting - Backsniper. Brian Lara's 400* denied his side a chance of winning? What chance? On your bike son.

[Notts Exile]

I'd have to go with Brad Hogg for starters, jumpy little so and so. What's with the follow thorugh that's longer than Bret Lee's ???

After that ..............

Glenn McGrath - really Great to see him so distraught on Saturday. Hopefully we'll see it again at the Oval in September!!

Dominic Cork

Darren Lehman - If I hear the words "Ashley Giles" and "negative" in the same sentance coming out of his mouth one more time I'll ****** scream

Come on I've only heard it twice...

Ricky Ponting - Backsniper. Brian Lara's 400* denied his side a chance of winning? What chance? On your bike son

But everybody likes Ricky. And everybody thought the same thing... Many people agree that Lara is self absorbed

Really? Seems like more than that. I can see him banging on about it all summer though. I don't see his bowling as negative these days either, he's pitching it on leg stump to hit off, rather than outside leg.

You have to take that innings in context, though. Yes, Lara is self absorbed, but his team had been drubbed 3-0 until that point and the 400* restored a bit of much needed pride. Plus, Lara didn't have a nice easy Zimbabwe attack to cuff for 380-odd like Hayden did. The irony was delicious when I watched Ponting manipulate the strike for an eternity (against NZ was it?) in a one dayer to get Clarke a hundred.

[The Worker]

Gotta agree with NE about Brad Hogg. Ditto The Motherlands comments about the whole Gloucester team.

My personal bugbear is actually Shane Warne. Not the man himself, but just the way that everytime anyone even gets a bat on one of his deliveries, he acts like it was the luckiest shot ever played. And he gets far too many LBW's for a spinner. Must mean he's not turning it much......!

[Beny]

Or that he's just redefining what a good spinner is...

Yeah, horrible to watch when batting, horrible to see when celebrating like he's God's gift to cricket, horrible to see when wingeing about the reasons why his team has been played off the park

The most over-rated gloveman since humans developed opposable thumbs. Can bat a bit, to be fair, but inconsistent

For one so talented, he really is a visual general anaesthetic. Stop mucking atound and get on with it, Jacques! Crap hair, too.

[ykickamoocow]

I only dislike a few people

Shane Warne - He is loud, stupid and self absorbed, if i didnt know better i would think he is a American

Darren Lehman - a very paranoid person, ever time he gets dropped from the team he practically says that the selectors are out to get him.
