Most Physically Fit Cricketer
Who is, currently, the most physically fit cricketer in the world?
For me, the likes of Yuvraj, Collingwood, Shoaib Malik, Mohd Kaif, Bravo, and Brett Lee come into mind. But if you had to name one, who would it be? |

Ponting doesn't seem that tired even after scoring so many runs. Like in the 180's he was running fast as ever.
McGrath seems to be able to bowl forever.

The list begins and ends with Ntini.
Nothing else needs to be debated. Im not his biggest fan, but his fitness, dedication and training is above that of anyone else.

Brett Lee and Makhaya Ntini are the fast bowlers that spring to mind. But I would have to say the ultimate cricketing athlete would be either Dwayne Bravo or Andrew Symonds.

Lee and Ntini are the obvious ones. Among batsmen, Hayden has always been phenomenally fit, though I guess he's getting a bit older now and that might be declining. Ponting is probably also up there, at least in recent times.

Also, there is regular bleep test done for cricketers to identify cardiovascular fitness, and in the Indian team Mohd Kaif always comes out on top.
But then again I am talking about overall physical fitness levels, not just cardio (however it is one of the main aspects). |
