RIP Craig Walsh (Craig) 1985-2012
Proudly supporting the #2 cricketer of all time.
Since he's got a solid lead here, Barnacle gets a reprieve.
To salve Fred's conscience a bit, I found a Telegraph anti-obituary where he's slightly more of a **** than commonly averred. Features beamers, youthful stroppiness and active disappointment at not being part of the leg-theory age.
RIP Fardin Qayyumi and Craig Walsh - true icons of CricketWeb.

Boyoboy - some heavy weights in there. And we only have 2 (a half) in there .... what's our chances?

Azharuddin was probably worse than all Indians in that list IMO. I know there are many match-fixers in that list, but India deserved to have a representative as well.
"I want to raise my hand and say one thing. Those who complain about my love for the game or commitment to the game are clueless. These are the only 2 areas where I give myself 100 out of 100."
- Sachin Tendulkar, as told in an interview published in Bengali newspaper Anandabazar Patrika after his 100th International century (translated by weldone)
Think Asif is going to win this one for sure.
fear not, the indians on the list are plenty ****y enough
Who won the Azhar battle?
EDIT: Looks like Gilchrist. In most other battles Azhar would've cruised.

How isn't Stuart Broad in this one? That petulant little brat threw the ball at a pakistani batsman I think and injured his hand. I smell some pommie favoritism
Possibly because you didn't nominate him?
Have to say one of the reasons* why this Battle is much more fun than most on here is that nationalistic lines appear to have been ignored - I for one would be happy to acknowledge that Broad deserved a place on the starting grid (though I don't think he'd be worth a place in the last 16)
*main reason of course is the sterling and impartial efforts of LHC to make it entertaining
Indeed, LHC's taken a good concept and run with it extremely well to make it one of the better battles on CW.
Morgie's also done a great job in the BotTMatches.
As the article says he was really just more of a pragmatist than a romantic and that does not necessarily a **** make. Although deliberately bowling beamers does definitely crossed the border into the realms of ****ishness, he at least had enough about him to own up to what is (IMHO, obz) a fairly common but largely unacknowledged practice.
Sloppy factchecking tho, 99.94% sure this wrong:
I'm pretty sure it's never been possible to get an LBW decision when a ball has pitched outside leg, has it?
- As featured in The Independent.
"This is not the time for namby-pamby promising youngsters who might just do something; not the time for building for the future. Pragmatism rules and they don't come more pragmatic than Rogers."
- Victor Marks makes the case for stiff-legged and stiff-armed 35 year old left-handers in Ashes squads
According to wikipedia the earliest drafts of the law emphasised the batsman being given out only if the ball was "straight", which was later changed to wicket-to-wicket, and it wasn't until 1937 that you could be given out with a ball that pitched outside off.
Maybe we wouldn't be so quick to fill buckets with filth if we knew they had a soul. Or maybe that's what they're into. Ain't no way to get inside a bucket's mind.
No it hasn't, remarkable gaffe from the torygraph, let's hope they are all distracted as they have some inside knowledge and are all busy preparing the iron haradan's obituary
