Least Entertaining Players

[Richard]

(Hayden is not boring, just to clear that up)

There's no clearing anything up.
As far as I'm concerned, there are few more boring than Hayden.
That doesn't mean anyone else has to find the same thing, but nonetheless there is no "is" or "isn't" about it.

upul chandana

Personally I find him a very entertaining player.
Excellent fielder, always worth keeping an eye on with the willow, and a bowler who's developed a bit recently (if not quite as much as some might think).

You have a strange perception of boring.

Two more using the idiotic idea of judging a player on one series.
Just because Crawley was incredibly slow in The Ashes 2002\03 (still outperformed most of the English batsmen I might add) that is not his normal batting style.

You associating me with idiocy? I wouldn't do that I were you.

lol david lloyd is great!

Seconded!! Bumble is #1

Jasson Gillespie batting

For me he is a perfect example of a defensive player who is not boring..

 

[Josh]

It's a matter of opinion, really, all of this.

Someone is allowed to find Hayden boring, it is not a crime. Personally, I don't find Hayden boring, but I'm not attacking and finding excuses to try and convince Richard that Hayden isn't boring.

Some people might find Adam Gilchrist boring... who cares. Let's continue and find them entertaining, and they can sit there bored sh*tless. Let's get on with our lives.

I don't mind debates on who's a better player and comparing with statistics among other things, but everyone has a different perception of boredom and entertainment, so I'm sure every cricket player on the globe is found boring by at least one person.

Find me one person.

 

[Josh]

Find me one person.

I've got better things to do

You don't have to be an idiot to commit idiocy.
But it's very idiotic to judge a player on one series when most of the rest contradict that.

In that strange merely means unusual, I do indeed.

When did I say he was not entertaining because he was slow? I merely said his name because in my opinion he is not entertaining. That's what this thread is for. Would you begrudge me of my opinion?

I agree, and for the record Geoffrey Boycott should go down in history as one of the games great entertainers!

I'm not sure how you can say Hayden's boring either, but as you said it's a matter of opinion. I'd like to know why you find this to be so, but if you told me it'd probably just start arguments on here.

So why do you think he is boring, then?

Because I purely and simply get sick of the sight of him at the crease. I get bored with the cricket whenever he's batting.
He's an ugly batsman, and his presence has been one of the worst monotonies of cricket in the last 3 years - indeed it has epitomised it.
Personally I wouldn't call Boycott one of the game's great entertainers but certainly there are those I'd much prefer not watch - Hayden amongst them.
Watching someone grind-out a long innings against quality bowling and contribute to winning a tight game is, for me, far more entertaining than belting popgun bowling around on flat pitches and causing innings-and-200-run victory after innings-and-200-run-victory.
I'm not saying that it's the fault or to the credit of either player, just that I find one far more appetising than the other.

 

[Mr Casson]

So why do you think he is boring, then?

Because of all the people who are entertaining, he is the least entertaining of all of them. That fits the criterion, surely?
