Cricketers whose game styles and techniques you like but personalities you dislike.

I wonder how many people could claim that they 'really know' Sachin.

Really know as in ?

He is as known of a personality as you can get with a cricketer. Just doesn't have a flash one.

 

[Jacknife]

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Nah you're right, he's a bit of a ****.

 

[Cevno]

AB? He seems to have a outgoing image, but never has struck me as someone to dislike overly.

First 4-0 still hurting eh?

I've never liked Ponting's behaviour during the fourth Test in 2005. He was having a go at England's use of 12th men, after he was run out by Jones' substitute. As a matter of fact, Simon Jones was really injured and never returned to Test level ever again.....

Have a liking for personalities that actually play for their country ITBT. The 4-0 actually gladdened me.

Too little, too late, Marcuss.

Zaheer Khan.

I just can't stand the bloke. The guy just comes off as way too ****y for a player who was pretty average for the first half of his career. Always seems to be mouthing off to the batsmen as well, I know many fast bowlers also engage in the act but when Khan does it, it really does annoy me.

Definitely admire his ability to consistently swing the ball both ways with such control though. He also happens to be a very crafty and thinking fast bowler which is a big plus for me.

He's definitely a bit of a prima donna. Haven't known the younger quicks in the team to say anything positive about him.

He is not the most likeable character, but that isn't true tbf. Just a couple of examples -

Zaheer Khan's tips helped me bowl better in second innings: Ishant Sharma - Cricjoy.com - Lets celebrate Cricket

Ishant Sharma says Zaheer Khan helped him regain form ~ INTCRIC.COM

He is the leader of the attack when fit, and helps all the other bowlers with tips,planning and even field placements.

Tab-owned

I just want to fit in

I'm sure I've seen people mention before that AB de Villiers is a bit of a ****. Right?

Nah you're right, he's a bit of a ****.

He's always seemed like a nice enough bloke to me. What is your reasoning for thinking he's a ****?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Graeme Smith, I love gritty lefthanders but he is just a ****.
Ricky Ponting, too quick to have a hissy fit if things went against him.
Shahid Afridi. Good cricketer but a doombrain.
