Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

King Pietersen

International Captain
I love both Flower and Richards, so gutted I've gotta pick between 'em. Would have to go for Barry Richards though. As for the other group, I'd go for Bradman out of those 3.
 

Somerset

Cricketer Of The Year
Pretty sure they both have, actually. Hair deffo called Murali in a test & Gower had his little fit of pique versus NZ. He was pissed off with Crowe for something if memory serves.
I remember Martin Crowe saying once in a Dilmah Tea Party or something similar that in regards to that delivery, "I'd never seen Gower bowl before - and I still haven't since he chucked it!"

Barry Richards and The Don.
