Thumbs down Current Cricketers You have a SEVERE loathing against?

Both Domestic & International?

International - Has to be the one and only MATTY 'I'VE GOT BUSHY EYEBROWS' HAYDEN. Sorry disliked him immensly before the current furore. His whole physical bullying persona doesn't sit well, you get the impression the lad is just so cocksure of himself. I'm loving it if the England management see fit to 'target' the ogre. I hope the indifferent form he had on the last England tour carries on into this series.

Of course we cant forget basically 75% of the Bok team as well, especially Smith & Nel who we must all just love to hate.

Domestic - Obvious vote goes to Dominic Cork and the Gloucestershire team per say for both being overrated and lucky to what they acheived in their careers.

Graeme Smith gets my goat. I think he ain't as good as he seems. And I think he can be pretty undignified sometimes. I'd hate to see him as captain of an all-conquering SA team. I reckon he'd make the Aussies look like little darling angels.

My aversions are legion... and whilst they don't really extend to loathing i could easily get an XI together:

1. Gayle (stand and deliver)
2. Tresco / Hayden (all form, no class)
3. Key (pieman)
4. Inzi (disgraceful blob)
5. Styris / Symonds (robotic)
6. Flintoff (all power, no finesse)
7. GO Jones (all "attitude")
8. Blackwell (another pieman)
9. Lee (one trick showpony)
10. Akhtar (ditto)
11. Sami / Best (not even good at the one trick)

I should also add a special mention for Gooch, Gatting, Botham, Stewart and (top of the pile) Devon Malcolm.

There are plenty of cricketers I dislike. Too many to list but here are a few of them. Each one has recieved a star-hating!

Scott Styris (NZ) *** - a bit ugly

Chris Gayle (WI) **** - reckons he's ace because he can hit a ball

Graeme Smith (SAF) ***** - arrogant and has poor technique

Mark Boucher (SAF) * - most overrated keeper in the world, moaner

Jacques Kallis (SAF) **** - boring, never wants to bowl, when he does it's a foot outside off, when batting will leave balls all day if you assure him his average is going up.

Hershall Gibbs (SAF) ** - don't like the look of him

Sourav Ganguly (IND) *** - reckons he's ace

Moin Khan (PAK) * - just for bowling 2 overs in an hour versus England

Boeta Dippenaar (SAF) * - funny head and too freckly

Chris Cairns (NZ) ** - arrogant

Shoaib Akhtar (PAK) * - my car can go faster than he can bowl, so there! What you gonna do Rawalpindi express?

Tino Best (WI) *** - he's about 5' tall but reckons he can jog down the pitch, go face to face and stare Vaughan out, can't even hit a window, too big even for his size 12 (and I mean kiddie sizes) boots

Agit Agarkar (IND) ** - looks like Andrew Caddick

OK I've underdone Tino in the height stakes. He's actually 5'8". Ha! Still smaller than me. That will probably his boots are about size 2 then. Well done Tino, you've got big boy shoes now!

By the way, he ain't THE Tino! He cuts my hair on a monthly basis, he's 5'9" with size 4 shoes! I've seen him smash a window!

1.Shoaib Aktar- Arrogant show poney with little dedication to his team.

2. Flintoff- Something about his face. Also the 'It was always going to happen', look he gives when he gets a wicket rather than celebrating.

3.Forgot his name... Pakistan leggie- Way too competative.

4.Stuart McGill- Cry baby. Arrogant.

Shane Warne - I've never liked him so it's not just a recent thing.

Brian Lara - selfish ****.
