Current Cricketers You have a SEVERE loathing against?

[Teatime FatCat]

He called him Malcolm Devon didn't he?

[Mongoose]

It was said that he called Dev's parentage into question, while also referring to his skin colour. I must point out that this is what I believe, not what I know. Just so no-one starts suing.

I dont think that it's true though.

Beny, it is true. Sorry about the late reply, and I know we haven't seen it in a while, but after a century Haydos makes the sign of the cross.

two words: ian f'n healy

both as a player and now as a commentator. i just have to leave the room and wait till his slot's finished.

[Teatime FatCat]

That's three words isn't it? And an apostrophe!

Honestly, you colonials!

Players I loathe...

Matt Hayden - For his whole 'butchers' attitude, when the chips are down, he finds someone to yell at.
Brett Lee - A show man.
Glenn McGrath - A fantastic bowler when on song, but gets irritating when he goes for a few.
Chris Cairns - Creams the ball over the stands, then has his off stump creamed the next ball.. wasted potential.
Martin Crowe - A good player yes, but nobody appreciates his whole 'demi-god' attitude we get.
Brad Williams - Goes ballistic when dismissing the likes of Vusi Sibanda.

and of course .. Ganguly - Yes Sourav, there IS such thing as leaving the ball just outside off !

Kev Pieterson, Gayle and Ricky Ponting are arrogant, but these guys I don't seem to mind for some reason. I guess there is a fine line between cocky and downright annoying.

Players/ex players who once bowled one or two overs for some side or other who now think they're superbly quailfied to comment on other people etc that f*** me off:

Reeve - tosser. Simple as that. And he snorted cocaine - why?!
Boycott - lives in the past. Always bangs on about how it was never like this in his day.
Botham - inconsistent, sycophantic, only believes in himself and won't listen to others.
Pietersen - arrogant, suddenly the figurehead of an England side that I still don't feel comfortable about him playing for.
Bell - shoe in for the side, but I'd like to see him really prove himself against proper opposition.
GO Jones - as has been mentioned before, those interviews are so camp, so ineffectual. Stop already!
Aggers - another England also ran who knows far too much but never seemed to "know" it when it mattered i.e. when he was playing for England.
Chris Schofield - live with it!
West Indies cricket team - you were once a fantastic side, now you are ruined by greed and infighting.
South African cricket team - you're not the world number ones. Hadn't you noticed?!
Shane Warne - arrogant t*** very much in the mould of Pietersen (or is it the other way round?!)
Dominic Cork - the final straw came long before his Beckhamesque headband thing, but that was REALLY the final straw. Again!

I could go on. And on.

I have to say that I think Key is cool, even though he'll probably never play for England again, he gets my vote for a sense of humour, a rounded belly and some great first class playing.
Don't dislike the bloke just because he's not an athlete!

I believe it's because he needed to escape from the reality that he was a ****** player and a ****** commentator. After years of thinking he was one of the game's all-time greats, reality finally hit home. So the white stuff hit the back of his nostrils.

[Pubuman]

Chris cairns over ratted, Martin Crowe - racist pig and was not that good a batsmen..he seriously was NOT!!

[greg]

Glenn McGrath cos he is too good.
