A tool or a gentleman?
who do you enjoy more as a cricketer. An Akhtar and a Kohli or a Mr Nice Guy aka Dranvid and Younis.
Ofcourse we are assuming both are quality cricketers nobody likes to see Faisal Iqbal sledging KP after getting LBW for zero by Collingwood. |

Of course any tool playing for NZ automatically becomes my favourite (Southee, Ryder). |

As a player, the tool. As a bloke, the gentlemen.
If the tool is on my team I want him to do well, if he's playing for the opposition I want him to drown in his own hubris. If the gentleman is playing for the opposition I want him to do well regardless. |

Support the gentlemen all the way. Would rather have seen Dravid do well in the last series than Haddin ITBT. Should **** off and let Nev keep for Easts/NSW/Australia.
Originally liked Phil Hughes, then found out he was a ****. Now I'll gladly watch him nick to slip all day. |

I like both tbh. It varies from player to player though. For example I like some who are tools and dislike others.

I like the gentleman despite which team he is playing for but only like the tool if he is playing for my team (there are too many already in Pakistan
 )

Enjoy seeing the tools fail and the nerds succeed.

Are those our only choices?
The instict is to go for the gent, but often you find the tool is in fact a nutjob while the gentleman is a dullard, in which case I'll take the tool.
