Which player past or present would you be?

[andmark]

Murali. I'd love to have the troll value of getting people to go beserk simply by bowling.

 

[fredfertang]

Sylvester Clarke, and I'd like to bowl at Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg please

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Eddie Gilbert, fast enough to get Bradman on the hop. I could deal with that

 

[Jack1]

Ravi Bopara might be my final answer but I would make sure to only ever bat left handed with sun shades on. I’d make sure I wore an India odi shirt with tendulkar on the back too under my England top in all formats with a wrist band on saying India.

I’ll add this just incase
Incase anyone thinks I’m being sinister I’m not, just joking around. I like Ravi (Tendy and India too) and that’s why it’s funny to me

I think Viv Richards might be a good one, wouldn’t need a helmet. I guess Bradman would be better and funner than I thought, doubt he would bother with a helmet even to a prime Jofra Archer

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The first false name I ever used in a one night stand situation was Albert Padmore, so I’ll stick with him.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ridley Jacobs, for the best seat in the house as The Prince tore the poms away on his way to the quad.

 

[marc71178]

I guess John1990 is Mohammad Asif as he keeps getting banned?

 

[Chrish]

Since it doesn’t specify the sport, Muhammad Ali.

Boxing was defined by Ali; both in and out of the ring.

 

[Howe_zat]

Shane Warne

Commentary gigs for life even if I spend absolutely all of them talking complete ****e

 

[Kirkut]

I am an Indian, what do you mean by a "bowler"?

Waqar Younis or Bumrah.

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.

Looking forward to your comeback in your early 50s further down the line.

I'd go for Bradman every time myself, but following PEWS's reasoning I'd probably be Mark Ealham or a slightly taller version thereof: tubby wicket to wicket bowler who could bat slightly.
