Cricket Nerds

Ok my question is this; who is the biggest Nerd or Nerdy looking player to play test cricket?
Ill put a nomination in for Daniel Vettori - his nerdy looking glasses just cap the look off. More of a nerd 5 years ago though i think. Good bowler though.

Gotta be Kumble. His pants look extremely high on him, and I believe he wears glasses too?

Kumble's a great nerd :cool:

Yes ill give you kumble. A big nerd who would have been bullied by other children from an early age.
I would imagine he would have had a bit of respect from his cricketing abilities

Harry Potter is a champ. An absulote legend in Wizarding circles and he pulled a very decent looking bird in Cho Chang recently.

I might go with Steve Waugh. Unless he'd been dressed by someone else, I dont ever remember him looking at all trendy or, at the very least, good. A complete nerd.

If you threw on a pair of glasses on MacGills face, he'd look like a nerd too. Especially with that top button buttoned .

I was going to mention Waugh too, but I always thought he looked pretty hip. Especially with his sunglasses and serious face shaking his head when MacGill (or was it Katich) dropped Sachin (or was it Laxman? lol) in his last test.

Whatever it takes!!!
To set the record straight, Kumble is a mechanical engineer. Krish Srikkanth was an electrical engineer. Javagal Srinath is a software engineer. The Indian side back then was full of engineers. I guess all 3 of them would have looked like nerds, then.

I dont mean on the cricket field, I mean everywhere else!
But speaking of sunglasses, have you seen Pontings lately?
