Why the hell would you want to be Imran Khan, being the Prime Minister of Pakistan sounds like one of the worst jobs ever.

Cricketer Of The Year
Ian Bell. Decent enough to have w career, but also not enough great moments to be beyond lampooning.

Would have been more fun if named Iain

International Regular
To take the PEWS approach and extrapolate my skill-set upwards (generous use of the word 'skill'), I guess I'd be... Tim Zoehrer?

The normal awards that everyone else has
Because if I was much much much better at cricket but maintained the core of skills, strengths, weaknesses etc I'd end up pretty much the same player. I was park cricket's Ray Illingworth.
I would like to think I was the Ian Botham or Keith Miller of park cricketers, but the reality was more Chris Harris.

I'd like to think I'd be Alec Bedser but I'm probably closer to Pollard's pies and Chris Martin's batting.

Harris managed to get selected for 23 tests averaging 20 with the bat and 73 with the ball. The only conclusion here is that he’s a criminal.

Had a FC average of 45 and made a 50 in his first test innings and a couple of 60s against attacks including Donald and Pollock, and a 40 against Ambrose and Walsh. Classic case of a guy not being able to quite translate his game to the top level. A lot like me whenever I've gone from the 3rds into the 2nds or A-grade!

colin de grandhomme. i'd love to have that much natural balance of timing and power, and the ability to bowl the perfect trolling medium pace.
