England fans are unfairly advantaged in this thread imo.

Dale Steyn. So awesome to watch

 

[ankitj]

MS Dhoni (such classical technique )
Virendra Sehwag (so adept at playing according to the match situation )

EDIT: Missed the "not" in the topic title

Not from my country, Dale Steyn and Mahela Jayawardene from the current lot.

Of players I have had the pleasure of seeing Farokh Engineer is and always has been my favourite cricketer bar none. There are some, himself included I believe, who claim he is Indian, although as far as I'm concerned he's as Lancastrian as tripe and cow-heel pudding.

Generally I will admit to being increasingly xenophobic as I get older but of current players I'd say Tamim Iqbal and Shiv Chanderpaul are my favourite non-english players

...oh and Farvez Maharroof, obviously

 

[aussie tragic]

1. Greenidge
2. Haynes
3. Richards
4. Gower
5. Crowe
6. Botham
7. Dujon
8. Hadlee
9. Marshall

11. Garner

Edit: yes, I grew up watching cricket in the 80's
