I know this has been done before but I am going to do it one more time
The cricketers I simply love as persons, role models etc (very good as cricketers too though thats not the criteria). First one from each cricketing nation.
1. Australia :
- Gilchrist (current and all time)
2. India :
- Tendulkar (current)
- Vishwanath (all time)
3. Pakistan :
- Yohanna (current)
- Zaheer Abbas (all time)
4. England :
- Flintoff (current)
- D'Oliviera (all time)
5. West Indies :

- Conrad Hunte (all time)
6. New Zealand :

- Pollock (current and all time)
8. Sri Lanka :
- Atapattu (current)
- Duleep Mendis (all time)
9. Zimbabwe
- Streak (current)
- Andy Flower (all time)
I havent included Bangladesh because i dont see much their games to form an opinion. I then added two players to each side to see what we get.
10 & 11. Miscellaneous :
- Brett Lee and Dravid (current)
- Kapil Dev and Courtney Walsh (All time)
That does make for good line ups.
Current favourite cricket persons :
Atapattu, Gayle, Dravid, Tendulkar, Yohanna, Flintoff, Gilchrist, Streak, Pollock, Vettori, Lee (Hon. mention Anil Kumble)
All time Favourite Cricket Persons : (seen by self)
Bert Sutcliffe, Conrad Hunte, Zaheer Abbas, Vishwanath, Andy Flower, Duleep Mendis, D'Oliviera, Gilchrist, Kapil Dev, Graham Pollock, Walsh (Hon mention : Wes Hall)
Some obvious choices are missing because of the cloud os scandals that I (personal opinion please) believe they were involved with.
Who says good guys dont win
