Your Favourite Cricketer...

My first favourite cricketer was Michael Slater.

Mathew Sinclair for favourite ever though, comfortably. I supported him as a player with greater passion than I've supported any team in any sport, I think.

EDIT: Heh, just noticed the M.S. thing. Cool. My second most loathed cricketer ever is MS Dhoni though.

Brummie-born Queenslander, int he? What's to like?

To watch it's unquestionably Lara for me; lithe, quicksilver little genius that he was.

However as an all-round package Rahul Dravid is impossible not to love just a little bit. Resolute and unbending an opponent as he was, he also had a deft lightness of touch and, crucially, understood the ethos of the sport like no-one else. Just a champion bloke.

In all seriousness though, I can't really narrow it down that far. I'll try and get it down to an XI though.

Jackson
Compton
Macartney
Dravid +
McCabe
Worrell *
Miller
Shakib
Procter
Constantine
Larwood

Shane Bond. Amazing bowler but also comes across as the nicest, most humble cricketer.

I'm also a big fan of Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis.

Manoj Prabhakar
Anil Kumble
Javagal Srinath
Narendra Hirwani/Maninder Singh/Venkatapathy Raju

Those days, the Aussie ODI XI looked something like:

Mark Taylor
David Boon
Dean Jones
Allan Border*
Steve Waugh
Mark Waugh
Ian Healy+
Merv Hughes
Craig McDermott
Paul Reiffel
Mark Whitney

Perhaps, they didn't play 4 specialist pace bowlers and played a spinner instead. But I'm failing to recollect who that spinner used to be....Tom Moody? Tim May?
