Which player gave you/gives you the most pleasure to see getting themselves out?

[Maximas]

Gotta be Watson, Matt Prior up there as well for me

 

[Pothas]

Alviro Petersen, I don't even dislike him but he should just be out.

 

[Expressway76]

Graeme Smith. Can't stand him. Comes across as a ****, is one of the ugliest batsmen in the world to watch, and has an irritatingly good record against England. Love seeing him get out cheaply against us.

Yeah he's good to see the back of. Seeing him walk off is like watching a school bully being sent to the headmasters office.

Regarding Matthew Hayden: Me too, dont know why I didnt like him when he was playing but now I see each of his masterclass with some interest and miss him being there - ready to punish mediocre attacks.

Other players I wanted to get out :

Andrew Symonds
Manoj Prabhakar
Shane Watson
Mark Waugh ( Just cause I couldn't handle my cousin keep going on and on and on about how awesome he played... )

Good call, chuck in Kallis the minnow basher as well.

Just looked up his record, nearly 5000 of his 13000 test runs come from playing against bottom 4 teams at an average well in excess of 75. I never realised how much of a minnow basher he is.

Watson getting out is like pleasuring oneself whereas Clarke is going out and getting the best bird in the club. Ultimately, both acts bring a lot of pleasure but the substantially greater effort required for the latter makes you just wanna stay at home next time.

Obviously to be a good batsman you have to be like Kevin Pietersen and only score runs on the "big stage" (and that big stage is defined as only when you score runs).

I see beating **** teams into the ground because they are **** as a good quality of a batsman. **** them up.

Kallis averages higher than anyone else against the top 8 test sides since 1990. You can't bag him for smashing Zimbabwe and discount Tendulkar doing supremely better against Bangladesh than all the other sides he played. It's seriously such a tiresome and stupid argument.

And those same people have the cheek to call Kallis' batting boring.

If Tendulkar had the good sense to retire after 2011 world cup

He'd not have experienced a 4-0 win over Australia though? #teamgame

To the OP......It is always so much fun to see Virat Kohli getting himself out......

 

[Burgey]

Tendulkar. The sweet, sweet taste of 1.2 billion tears.

 

[Daemon]

they were all butt tears ftr

Especially now that we can all see it happening over and over whenever Jono posts

I'm not just referring to Zimbabwe and Bangladesh when calling Kallis a minnow basher.
