Just a thought that came in my head…We ( Me hehe) refer to Roston Chase as Thanos quite a lot.
He is inevitable.

Answer the question that the thread title posed.

Hansie Cronje - Kevin Costner

Jay Shah

Hansie Cronje - Kevin Costner

Costner's Cronje famous for a rousing, anti -English dressing room speech ahead of the final day of the 2000 Centurion test. "They might have taken our test cricket for 25 years, but they won't take our freedom to earn big bucks from fixing matches for illegal bookmakers!"

 

[Molehill]

Hugh Grant as David Gower flying over an Aussie Cricket ground and probably throwing in a cheeky "F*ckety F*ck".

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I reckon a young Gary Sweet and Hugo Weaving could act Bradman and Jardine.

Jack Black as Mike Gatting

 

[honestbharani]

Young Downey as Virat Kohli

I play a dude who’s playing another dude

 

[reyrey]

Tropic Thunder era?

Yep. Anyone playing the Universe Boss needs to be able to overact and be comfortable making jokes about his "big bat".

No one is doing that better than Downey Jr

A slightly younger Chris Evans would be such a perfect fit for Keith Miller

 

[Isura]

Garfield Sobers - Denzel Washington
