The Coolest Man In Cricket?

Title says it all.

Only two contenders of course.

Hard to look past Gayle. Perhaps because I've not watched or followed Richards, not helped by fact that for most of his career I was yet to be born, anecdotes and incidents reported nevertheless. :-)

Dhoni perhaps a contender although sometimes it seems a bit imposed.

Well yeah you could never say that Kallis was unduly influenced by the match situation.

Voted for Viv although I think he had a different sort of "cool" factor to him compared to Gayle.

Lack of helmet makes Viv so much cooler.

Gayle is the only player today who is jovial, funny, provocative, hip, easy going all while being a captain, and having a top record in ODIs and decent test record. So he is kool and successful
