Which bowler has the most over-the-top wicket celebration?

[chrisps]

I would nominate Imran Tahir for his celebration that involves running with arms outstretched into the outfield. To have a look, search for 'Imran Tahir celebration' on YouTube.

Who would you nominate? I've compared and contrasted the reactions of Tahir and Jim Laker when the latter took 19 wickets v Australia at Old Trafford in 1956 on my blog Declaration Game.

Pity Mrs Tahir Declaration Game

Let me know what you think - here or there.

Thanks

Chris

Flintoffs ridiculous poses irritate the beep out of me.

That look at me pose reeks of arrogance IMO

 

[Burgey]

Always found Lee's chainsaw after knocking over a tailender really OTT.

 

[Furball]

I would nominate Ishant Sharma, but I doubt even he remembers how he celebrated a wicket.

 

[kyear2]

Tino Best, almost disrespectful really.

Mark Richardson. There doesn't seem to be a video on Youtube, unfortunately, but it was something special.

Tino Best, almost disrespectful really.

AWTA

He almost did two laps of the ground after his first wicket.

Siddle is pretty ****ing annoying as well

Well like any right-minded individual I always hate to see anyone else enjoy themselves in a professional environment. If I can't have fun at my job I don't see why anyone else should.

 

[andruid]

Kinda absurd for Fidel Edwards to do the whole 'can't see me' routine to a guy who's getting out after scoring loads of runs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Lee and Tahir are/were the most annoying I can remember.

Doesn't worry me, Gayle is consistently the biggest **** in cricket

I for one would like to see batsmen celebrate in an OTT manner every 20 runs they score.

I cringe every time I see that.


I'm sure Sreesanth would be up there in terms of being OTT.

talk about OTT celebrations

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Wasn't Punter also involved in that celebration?

If I were batting in a Test I'd celebrate every run.

Be tricky running the threes, I'll admit.

 

[kingkallis]

Tahir, Panesar, Sreesanth, Siddle, Lee, Tino, Freddie, Afridi...and yeah sometimes Kumble!

 

[Agent Nationaux]

You guys may hate Afridi's celebration but I love it.
