Your Boy

[Spark]

Was Stuart Broad once upon a time

Still is for me, if you ask Cribb

 

[Pratters]

Sachin of course. No one defended him as much as I did v Marc.

 

[Zinzan]

Two Ms for me in recent times, Munro & Milne.

Primarily Munro since he doesn't appear to have that many CW fan-bois outside myself and Hurricane. We may have to scrap over the rights.

Well I don't think, personally, that players like Broad and Steve Smith are really what the thread is asking for.

Like, Broad is still one of my absolute favourites, that's not changed. But I don't really feel I can be smug about it as everyone (well, most) know how good he is now.

Acknowledge your point though. You've been a fan as long as I can recall you posting

yeah this thread is for the early fans of unrated cricketers or the first fanboys of good ones.

whoever was first to back the likes of steve smith to the hilt gets him. the rest of you hangers on, nope.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I mentioned Root first on here but hadn't seen him and was going off the hype coming from Yorkshire about him. Not sure that counts me as a fanboy though even if he is my favourite player in the team at present.

I guess I have stuck up for Bairstow more than most so seeing him do well in SA has been satisfying.

 

[Pratters]

True boy claimants would have to see the player in a domestic match, preferably in person before they play an international game. The first one to do so gets to claim the player. By that accord, I might have KL Rahul, Sudeep Chatterjee among recent Indian players. I still back KL to do well in tests at least.

Haha, it's more that Cribb likes to make fun of me popping up every time someone takes a shot at Broad or bringing him up in random threads.

I have Chris Woakes. Loved him, he won't make it as a Test match player (and frankly doesn't deserve another shot) but still hold out hope he can be a solid ODI player for us.

 

[Daemon]

I can probably claim Murali Vijay

 

[BoyBrumby]

Used to love me some Zak.

Took it very personally when he turned up for India's last but one tour clearly having had quite a long term affair with the pies.

 

[smash84]

Jono, you've found your match

‘Kohli fan’ held for hoisting Indian flag in Okara - Pakistan - DAWN.COM

 

[vcs]

I know it's irrelevant but it's awful if the guy is being prosecuted for that. I was horrified when those poor Kashmiri students were expelled in Meerut for cheering Afridi's sixes against India in the Asia Cup.

yeah, its crazy. I had no idea you could even be arrested for such a thing.

They both had periods where much (most) of the world didn't think they were very good though. You can always proudly proclaim that you always saw his quality etc.

Guess I can claim Kohli then
