Biggest jerks in Cricket

[KennyD]

yeah i get it too, i was wondering actually why you would include Ian Meckiff who is from the 50`s, coz i doubt anyone could have seen his social behaviour lol

 

[masterblaster]

Lol, Adam Gilchrist is an absolute champion, and one of the nicest guys in the cricketing world.

He's a true champion in World Cricket personality wise and cricketing skill wise too.

HA
Shoaib jerks !!!
Nice Info ...

You're really defensive over Shoaib.

That being said, I like Shoaib Granted I've never had the opportunity of meeting him.

 

[a massive zebra]

Stephen Fleming. I have asked for his autograph 3 times and on each occasion he just said ''get out of my way.''

he was probably worried about getting into a Warne vs Murali debate with you

 

[Slow Love™]

Shoaib Akthar- u wonder whether he's a thug or just ********. tough call. Sanjay manjrekar said it best, "sometimes you question whether there's anything between his ears."

The Shoaib is maybe too enamored with his own ability (although sometimes, he actually backs this up), but, given some people's tales of players behavior when autographs are requested, he deserves some credit for saving a kid's life down here in Australia.

Apparently he was signing autographs outside the airport in Brisbane, and a child came running across the road. A speeding taxi was heading straight for him, and Akhtar grabbed him and hauled him quickly on to the footpath. The police were certain that if he hadn't grabbed the boy, he'd have been hit.

I agree with Mr Casson that it's easy to catch someone on a bad day, and it shouldn't necessarily be the final judgement as to their character - except for Arjuna Ranatunga, who surely is a pr_ck of the highest order.

 

[KennyD]

i nagree, you can catch some cricketer on a one off bad day, then brand him an ass for life, but concerning Arajuna Oranatang (hehe) everyday is a bad to meet him. ass!

I dont think you can really call someone a jerk just because they wont sign autographs, or were rude to someone.. TBH I find autograph hunters pretty damn inconsiderate (i know they are nearly all too young to know better) but I get really incensed when a crowd of people badger a batsman after he has been out for a duck..

Anyway my list..

1) Andre Nel
2) Shane Warne
3) Merv Hughes
4) Rodney Hogg
5) Aamir Sohail
6) Shoaib Akhtar
7) Arjuna Ranatunga

You're really defensive over Shoaib.

Ohhhh, come on not Big Merv!! He was a great character, funny on the field (would give the batsmen a bit - but it was before everything became so PC) and was the first man in the dressing room after the game to have a beer with the opposition whether they'd won or lost (more losing than winning in the early days)..............surely not a jerk! Although, maybe from England's point of view.................haha

 

[Son Of Coco]

no in 2001, ganguly was playing mind games w/ waugh to get under the skin. and it worked.

haha, of course. When he's from your country it's "mind games" but if he's from somewhere else he's "the biggest jerk in cricket".....

 

[Son Of Coco]

The bowler was ready to bowl, but Parthiv Patel want ready to face him yet. Warne ,at slip, felt that the batsman was delaying and trying to put off the bowler . So he gave Patel a mouthful . Parthiv was visibly stunned by that performance.

Oh the poor guy......where do we send our messages of condolence?

LOLOLOLOLOLOL
I remember a thread ,
"What If India had Shoaib Akhtar "......

 

[Son Of Coco]

MY list of jerks would include:

* Michael Bevan
* Stuart MacGill
* Daryl Cullinan
* Lance Klusener
* Arjuna Ranatunga

The only person I've met out of these guys is Bevan.........and he was a world class idiot. It wasn't a five minute meeting, we played against them and he was a ****** throughout the game and wouldn't say much to anyone either before or afterwards. Apparently MacGill isn't a bad guy off the field.....

On the other hand, Michael Slater, Brad Haddin and Nathan Bracken are all very good guys.

 

[age_master]

bevan
macgill
ranatunga
ganguly
murali

 

[viktor]

Mcgrath
warne
ranatunga
nasser hussain

 

[a massive zebra]

Mcgrath
warne
ranatunga
hussain

Good choices.

 

[Eclipse]

before we say anything we should probably put ourselfs in the players shoes for a moment..

I doubt I could be nice 100% of the time because there would be time's when you just want to be left alone.

Glen McGrath
Aamir Sohail
Andre Nel
Rodney Hogg

The stupid thing that McGrath has trademarked trying to scare batsmen by hurling the ball back to the stumps/WK when batsman is clearly in the crease. As Ian Chapell said "One day someone will whack McGrath with the bat" for this inane aggression. Plus his personal sleding (as of Ganguly, Sarwan...) is completely tasteless.

 

[KennyD]

aww with Macgill, he is ugly as hell and a bit of a fool on the ground but yeah he is a really nice player in matter of fact. Also hes got a hot wife.
