Battle of Cricketers - CW's Favorite Cricketer

[andyc]

Miller. Bedded a princess, FFS.

 

[pasag]

Miller. Flew fighter jets, FFS.

 

[Xuhaib]

Miller, Imran lite FFS.

 

[Pothas]

Miller is great and would vote against for him in nearly every battle but is has to be Robin Smith

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Jeez. Love all three of these fullas. I'm gonna vote for Robin Smith though. Bumped into him a few times at the Rose Bowl, decent chap. Would be happy to see the others through, mind.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pretty sure I nomed him so going for dear old Judgey: Robin Smith.

Gutsy, pugnacious cricketer. No secret he wasn't the best player of spin, but an awesome hooker and puller. Remember for a brief time when Gooch was ranked #1 in the world, Smith was #2 and we had, amazingly, the two best batsman in the world. Which, given the depths we'd plumbed, was a source of cricketing pride for my younger self.

Keith Miller

 

[age_master]

Miller.

 

[_Ed_]

Nathan Astle.

Cricketing Safari a literary treasure, ftr.

 

[Somerset]

Would vote for Miller but I assume he'll win the battle anyway; so I'll give my vote to Nathan Astle to try and ensure he'll have enough to get in as a wildcard.

 

[Matt79]

Miller. Flew fighter jets, FFS.

Actually he flew Mosquitos, which were propeller driven, rather than jets. edant:

Miller easily for mine - in my top half-a-dozen cricketers of all time.

Would have voted for that other great Victorian allrounder, McDonald, in the last round, if I'd been fast enough...

This, and I remember that #1 / #2 match-up as though it was yesterday.

The Judge was just a heroic figure for me.

 

[four_or_six]

Robin Smith, thought he was great when I was younger.

 

[Nate]

Keith Miller, hero.

 

[Cevno]

Keith Miller

 

[nightprowler10]

Keith Miller x 1 million.

 

[Jono]

Miller.

Uppercut and Thierry may hate it, but cricket myths are awesome, and his is one of the best as the years go by. Legend.

 

[fredfertang]

Great man as The Judge was even if only half the stories about the Nuggett were true he's still not a patch on Keith Miller
