What other side do you support?

[Corbin]

After Australia, definately NZ due to having strong family ties.

 

[Corli]

I don't really support a Test team apart from South Africa, but I'm always interested in the performances of my favourite individual players. Went with England in the poll, because I like many of their players.

Of the minnows, I like to see any African country do well. I also support Argentina.

 

[Zinzan]

BTW I predict there'll be a hell of a lot of British members voting for Bangladesh due to the more-common-if-not-exclusive-to over here habit of barracking for the sides who've obviously got precious little chance.

Surprisingly not the case, SA now leading by a decent margin - although in fairness there aren't that many S.Africans on this forum who could have voted for other teams

People are fickle and have short memories, I think it's because we have just beaten the Aussies at their place.. While I have no problem with SA being popular, in fact, it's a good thing, it's funny to see how our reputation as a boring bunch of chokers and blockers (Kallis) once captained by a cheat and a match fixer has changed seemingly overnight

I don't think i ever saw them like that at all. To me they were a top-class one day side, famous for their incredible fielding (Rhodes, Gibbs, now De Villiers) and deep batting lineup. Players like Pollock and Klusener summed them up well- quality all-rounders with styles better suited to the one-day game. The last thing they were was boring.

Now their ODI play has gone to the dogs and in tests they're the team with a top-quality batting lineup and extremely awkward-looking 5-man attack.

Australia's opposition

You beat me to it

Fair call that, although in my case I started taking a liking for them about 18 months ago now

With regards to the 'choking tag', I'm pretty sure in most people's minds that exclusively applies to World Cups

Nothing has changed in that regard.

They just combine all that stuff with other stuff that people like and get excited by.

 

[Lostman]

Whoever I have money on

that is my answer as well

 

[cowboysfan]

it would be great if west indies get back to their former glory and now they have motivation to do than ever.

 

[Fusion]

Generally go for the sub-continental teams when watching a neutral game. I have a soft heart for Bangladesh because of their underdog status. India and SL will be next on my list of teams to support.

 

[Redbacks]

India, but now they are challenging Australia I might have to change that opinion

Tendulkar, VVS, Kumble, Dravid love(d) watching them play. Maybe in 5-10 years time people will also look back on Ganguly as being the hard nut who turned them into a solid unit ala Border.

 

[Top_Cat]

Generally neutral (i.e. whoever plays the best cricket) but have always had a soft spot for Panic-stan.

 

[Burgey]

Depends on individual players and the general state of play a bit, but I'm more likely to support England in a neutral game than any other side.

Say it aint so Joe.

Windies for me, And ABE and ABI.

 

[duffer]

Sympathy vote for Zimbabawe. I don't understand the hate they get.

 

[MendisNuffSaid]

I actually generally support any oppostion of Australia.

Same here. Australia and Pakistan - even though I like some of their players, like Gilchurch, Lee, Misbah, etc.

People like Clarke, Ponting, Afridi, Akhtar etc ruin the teams for me.

I really do like SA, NZ and SL though.

Haha i swear that wasn't the case for Faaip after the 2005 Ashes.

Probably now just feels sorry for them after 2006 though.

Nah, I've pretty much always liked England. I like their cricket culture in general and a few of their players. I hated them during that series mind you, especially Vaughan and Fletcher, but I supported them against SA beforehand, and since.

 

[Jono]

Ah okay, I just distinctly remembering you supporting Pakistan over England in the series immediately after the Ashes.
