I'm a bit surprised that S would make your list of likeable players, TBH. Seems like the sort of guy who thrives on being a nutcase, like Andre Nel, and hence not someone who'd be widely liked outside his own team.

I know you're a fan of his own team, and all that, but I thought the excercise was to name a few you thought were widely liked, not those that were your own faves.

I was under the same impression at first - you may have seen me name a "universal" list back on page 2 (since deleted). I realized that pretty much everyone else was just listing their personal favorites so I did the same. By the way, it's Shantakumaran Sreesanth, Sree Sreesanth or Sreesanth, not S.

 

[Richard]

No, sorry, he's now listed in Wisden as S Sreesanth - so that's how it is. (Damn it, no stuck-up smiley)

For me, he will now forevermore be S.

I think the results might be skewed though, as the posts at the start were more listing the most popular cricketers, while the posts in the last few pages have been posts of genuinely "favourite" teams. If you actually want to do that, you might be better served starting a new thread and asking for people to post their favourite lineups.

andrew flintoff, sachin, lara should be high up there...

Fred would.
