Who is the most frustrating player for your country?

Who is the most frustrating player for your country?
By this I mean which player from the opposing side frustrates you the most through their performances.
Being Australian I would have to say VVS Laxman gets my vote. So many times in tests and ODI's he has risen to the challenge with big scores and most importantly, frustrated me Well done VVS

 

[Mr. P]

Ganguly just cause he is a frustration and we all know he's a bit of a *****.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Jacques Kallis.

Jacques Kallis.

Kallis is a legend. His fighting innings of 99 against Australia is one of my favourite knocks. I was annoyed as hell when we ran him out.

Until Recently probably Flintoff, but lately he's slowly turning into the player we know he is. I'd have to say Mark Butcher. The guy has BAGS of talent, easily the most in the England side just he has ZERO powers of concentration and usual gets to the 20-30 mark beautifully then gets out slashing to a really wide one or pushing out to a wide one he could leave.

Didn't know that word wasn't allowed. I'll make a mental note

Not your own sides most frustrating, the most frustrating AGAINST your side.

Matthew Hayden. Though he didn't do much in the recent series, he gets my vote on the basis of the 2001 series. His handling of the spinners was top class.

I thought it would be Ponting. Two double centuries in a row!

 

[Tim]

For NZ, Jayasuriya..he consistently smashes us, whereas other teams manage to control him better.

****! well the topic suggested otherwise :P and i cant be arsed to edit my original post.....so

You would've known if you'd read the first (explanitory) post.

By this I mean which player from the opposing side frustrates you the most through their performances.

 

[Kent]

Dravid.

Not so much in numbers, but sometimes it just feels like he's got kids gathered around the back of a net while he puts on a clinic, with our trundlers getting paid $6 an hour to bowl to him.

 

[Tim]

Mind you, Dravid does that to alot of teams.

On the other hand, especially in the ODI's it seems most teams are able to get Jayasuriya out quickly whereas we tend to let him smack 50 runs off about 30 balls.

 

[Sehwag309]

Australia = Hayden
Pakistan = Inzi, Shoaib
England = Flintoff
SA = Gibbs

Couldnt think of more

 

[Prince EWS]

Jason Gillespie.

 

[Waughney]

Australia = Hayden

Assuming you're an Indian supporter, I'd add Ponting to the Australia list. Like what Mr.Ponting said, 2 double centuries in a row!

 

[Sehwag309]

Jason Gillespie.

But he is really good to watch. One of my fav bowlers

I see your point but Hayden was the pillar in 2001, and has won many fans in India.

I think it's more to do with the last Aussie tour of India, Hayden was the only one who could handle Harbhajan comfortably.

As for Laxman, we'll he performed both in India and Aus

For us, it has to be Ricky Ponting. The man scores against us everytime. Well, he scores against anybody everytime.

From South Africa, it has to be Herschelle Gibbs, he plunders our bowling attack to pieces most of the time.
