Battle of the Infamous

Think Lillee was a bit of a prick, with Gavaskar, Healy and Hadlee not far behind or just about equal. Croft also had some regretable incidents with Gilchrsit (Roy) being in a league of his own.

Definitely Butt.

I'm surprised Kallis isn't in here. Always struck me as not being very well liked due to this tendancy to bat slowly before declarations.

Whatever it takes!!!
Twatto everyday of the week. A mouth MUCH bigger than his cricketing talents and that says a lot as he is very talented.

That Watson picture is pretty good "promotion" for this poll. But it has to be Butt.

I don't know where people get this perception from.

Other than a couple of incidents which looked bad on the field (one in particular with the Chris Gayle issue), Watson is an absolute gentleman and is very quietly spoken. Comes off as humble and intelligent.

Thoroughly enjoyed doing the research for my piece about Heine and Adcock and finding out just what ****s they were, but that very enjoyment convinces me that Butt has to be the winner out of these three
 

Agent Nationaux

International Coach
Butt

Would like to vote Ijaz Butt (he played a test I think) and also Wasim Akram for being a fixer and not helping Pak bowling after retiring. According to cricinfo recently, he was approached by the PCB recently but unfortunately doesn't have the time. WAC
 

BoyBrumby

Englishman
Shane 'Twatto' Watson (Australia)

How photoshopped is Twatto's torso in that pic? His abs look like they've been drawn on.

Must admit I'm suprised to read benchy describing him as "intelligent" too; have read more than one article openly questioning his smarts. Regardless, he might well be Stephen Hawling off the field, but the run-outs and the optmistic referrals don't speak of a deep cricketing intelligence anyway.

Anyway: Butt by the proverbial here. Sold his country out and basically acted as a shop steward for spot fixing.

Exactly. I've never seen why Watson rubs people up the wrong way, most cricketers have the capacity to act like a douche in one way or another.
 

Viscount Tom

International Debutant
Well he did tell Jayawardene who's a bi of a douche at times to f*** off after Clarke took a close catch the other year.

Also he is easily spooked.

Still voting for Butt.
