Chicken XI

[Shri]

Lets make a fun XI out of players who are too skinny.

Michael Vaughan
Rahul Dravid
Michael Clarke
James Foster
Stuart Broad
Laxman Sivaramakrishnan
Ishant Sharma
Nathan Bracken

Help me complete it.

Never been keen on this <insert random characteristic> XI material but a few skinny players who come to mind:
Bruce Reid (left-arm seam)
James Foster (wicketkeeper-batsman)
Russel Arnold (left-handed opening batsman)

Playing roles inserted for help for those who don't know if you really want a team-ish.

Going to be a lot of bowlers I imagine, batsmen tending more towards the 'comfortably built.'

Jon Agnew and Sikander Bakht come to mind.

Not as straightforward as the Fat XI, that's for sure.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Venkatapathy Muscles Raju first name on the sheet.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Morne Morkel.
Garry Park.
Dale Steyn is pretty skinny aswell.

Plus Park and Steyn both look like crack heads!

Dravid has gotten skinny as hell lately too. Anyone agree?

Michael Vaughan, definitely. Always looked like a chicken when in skins with shorts over the top.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I was going to do a really clever one based on names but got stuck at Graham Fowler.

 

[BoyBrumby]

JP Duminy

Wouldn't have said he's too skinny. Kid's got massive biceps.

Skinny batsmen quite thin on the ground (ha, see what I did there?) tho, it must be said. Gower in his younger years always looked like he could do with a feed; especially when he was sharing a dressing room with such trenchermen as Gatting, Gooch, Lamb & Beefy.

 

[stumpski]

Stephen Capon (one match for Kent) would also fit that bill. I only heard of him because he came from my home town, the only county cricketer to do so as far as I know.
