Honorable mention to every Indian cricketer in the 80's.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Merv has this covered.

Honourable mention to Adam Hollioake's handlebar effort that he sported all too briefly towards the end of his Surrey career:

Gooch's moustache was like Gough's bowling. Impressive in its own right, but really nothing close to what the Australians had at the time.

 

[MW1304]

The fact that anyone could consider these 'taches "impressive" deeply saddens me. Its your choice if you want to look like an unprecedentedly ridiculous ****, just because you can, but personally I'd rather have a raccoon shoved up my arse.

Edit: Mainly applicable to Merv Hughes tbh. Worst thing ever put on someone's face.

 

[Howe_zat]

Party pooper.

 

[MW1304]

That I am.

[Burgey]

Gooch's moustache was like Gough's bowling. Impressive in its own right, but really nothing close to what the Australians had at the time.

 

[Smudge]

Simple, no frills, just like the man himself:

 

[Burgey]

Gooch

Greenidge

Boon and Border (c) - ignore Marsh - maximum 10 images per post allowed here.

Vengsarkar and Dev

Murdoch (wk)

Hadlee

Kumble*

Lillee**

Spofforth

Not a bad side tbh. I'm sure there are many other contenders - Botham in lieu of Dev maybe. Rod Marsh over Murdoch.

Lots of great bowlers with moustaches, but the best of all I think is:

*Not easy to find many spinners who had moustaches. I put this down to the fact that they're usually pretty unmanly.
**Obviously, if Imran had a moustache, it would be better than Lillee's. Especially in the subcontinent and the West Indies.

 

[honestbharani]

Lara's moustache is good enough for him to be considered in the above side, AFAIC.

 

[Teja.]

Lillee has the best looking tache tbh. Gloriously intimidating.
