Which cricketer from history would win a UFC style tournament?

Burgey · 08-09-2012, 05:39 PM

Probably Justin Langer, given he's a black belt in some form of martial art whose name escapes me ATM.

Agent Nationaux · 08-09-2012, 07:14 PM

Lillee
Miandad
Merv
Boon
Border

Viv Richards or Matthew Hayden would probably kick everybody's butt

Dan · 08-09-2012, 08:46 PM

Well Andrew Flintoff is now taking up boxing...

Jager · 08-09-2012, 09:16 PM

WG Grace would be a shout

smalishah84 · 08-09-2012, 09:22 PM

Curtly Ambrose's stare will do the job. He will not even need to punch.

Ikki · 08-09-2012, 11:22 PM

Symonds or Hayden?

Then again there's Sreesanth.

8ankitj · 08-09-2012, 11:27 PM

Sreesanth in toughest cricketer thread?

fredfertang · 09-09-2012, 01:02 AM

By all accounts Peter Willey was/is as hard as they come

And I think I'm right in saying that JWHT Douglas won an Olympic Boxing medal in 1908 or thereabouts - may even have been gold

Andre · 09-09-2012, 01:04 AM

Surely Andrew Hall is up there.

Douglas won Gold in the middleweight boxing in 1908 beating Snowy Baker of Australia in the Final.

The only person Ian Botham wouldn't dare play dressing room jokes on was Peter Willey.
