Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

Lara vs. Ambrose final is a strong possibility I reckon. That's my prediction.

Both beloved WI cricketers who for the most part will have avoided any agendas (except for Lara vs. Tendulkar debate, but that pales in comparison to Ponting/Sachin and Warne/Murali). Always been popular on CW.
Waqar, Greg Chappel, Alan Border, Imran Khan have a good chance I reckon

Greg Chappell will struggle because not many here saw him play, because too many saw him coach, and Kiwis remember some sort of supposed 'underarm' incident.

Was going to mention Imran, but there's the Botham crowd as well who could stop that from happening :-o Depends how far each go.

That's why this is a pretty cool battle. It's just people's tastes, and that's cool. You can't be right or wrong.

Jonty. The first thing I remember knowing about cricket (that was around 1995) is that Jonty was awesome.

The second thing was that Lara was the greatest batman around, but he doesn't need my vote here.
