Players that you hate XI

I want all of them to get out for a golden duck or to go for 100 off 10 overs.


1. MacIntosh
2. James Marshall
3. Ponting (c)
4. Hamish Marshall
5. Clarke
6. Symonds
7. Haddin (wk)
8. Watson
9. Powell
10. Harminson
11. Panesar

Not surprising to see a couple of NZ openers at the top.

Can't say I 'hate' any players. I hate when a few players are selected for NZ - Gareth Hopkins is one that springs to mind. Not because I have anything against the way he plays but just because it's such a massive handicap to the team.

Wait sorry, yeah actually I hate Brad Haddin - just something about his face that screams smugness and arrogance. Not to mention the bowled-assist incident. I do want him to get out for a duck every innings and if possible to cop a ball or two to the teeth as well. Irrational? Maybe, but meh.

Thought Flynn would be right up your stonewall with technique alley?

Or is it him keeping Skippy out of the team?

symonds? Surely not?

Ah, yes, Shane ****ing Watson. I don't know why I missed him, when he should have been the first guy pencilled in.

I don't mind watching him bat. Unlike the others he's not in there because I don't like the way he plays. I'm sure I'll learn to like him in time.

I enjoy seeing him fail (which really sounds so cruel and petty, but it's the crux of it) because I thought he was such a terrible selection initially.

Haha, I remember. My head almost exploded when he and Marshall were selected ahead of Fulton and Hay.

He's done well though, not proving to be a one season wonder. If anything he's getting better and better.

i am surprised his parents haven't disowned him yet. he is among one of the most annoying personalities to play international cricket.

but i find him merely annoying and it is different from hating. i sometime fantasize nayan mongia tapping my car window on a crowded road begging for alms with hungry eyes and in torn clothes and i shoo him away. that is hatred!!
