The next Ian Botham!!!
Good for you, mate.
When I first saw 'Dominic' as your userid, I thought that Corky had joined Cricket Web.
Now I realise that you are actually Brad Cheaty-Hodge, who was so taken by Rikki after his single-handed destruction of Leicestershire (for a bit) last season.

Welcome aboard.

It was 6.

You get the message :D


And dont reply with a message saying something along the lines of "Run!"

School Boy/Girl Captain
Batsman: SRT (I never got to watch Viv Richards but from the raw power that I've seen in his highlights, I think he would have been my all-time favourite.)

Bowlers: Warne & Akram.

What, I wonder, if we said "cut out those who didn't play international cricket in the last 4 years"?
That would cut some of the crap listed here, all right.
Amazing, also, that it's "all time", not "that you've ever seen".
For me, the two categories:
All-time, Marshall and George Headley.
That I've ever seen, Graeme Smith and Alec Stewart, equal exactly, and Dominic Cork very closely followed by Allan Donald.

It's personal favourite. Of course it's going to be based on recent players, since you can't have a favourite if you've not seen him. :rolleyes:

Exactly, as can be shown by the first poster's favourite bowler. I know of only one who think he's the best bowler in the world :P

Are you not allowed to like players if they're "crap" now?

Thought police, is it?

I'm sticking with Graeme Pollock and Mikey - they're my all-time favourites (which is what this thread was about).

My favourites over the last 4 are SRT or BCL and Corky (ignoring last season's crass stupidity)
