Greatest Ever 'Taches in Cricket?

[Shri]

 

[Burgey]

Lara's moustache is good enough for him to be considered in the above side, AFAIC.

Nah, longevity of the 'tache has to be a factor here imo. I don't know if Lara had his for long enough did he?

Having said that, if he went 'tacheless for the vast majority of his career, but for the period he had a 'tache it was of the Merv Hughes standard, then it would certainly be worth a shout.

Sarfraz got to be well in contention with this beauty.

Yeah, the same old longevity vs peak argument in CW...

Ikki to come up with statsguru filters showing how peaks of Australians were better than longevity of others, and longevity of Australians were better than peaks of others [excluding minnows and including WSC (Lillee only) of course - and ODIs to be considered for Bevan alone]...

 

[Burgey]

I think Ikki has been subjected to a fair bit of vitriol, some of it personal, but he takes it pretty well tbh.

Some very good names thus far. Slightly surprised that no one has mentioned cricket's Adonis - the great man himself:

*Not easy to find many spinners who had moustaches. I put this down to the fact that they're usually pretty unmanly.

 

[Burgey]

Why, I can't. I don't even....

Couple of unmentioned names.

In terms of volume no one has anything on this guy though:

 

[Garson007]

The question about Merv Hughes is, is that all moustache, or is there beard in it?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Nah, that's all mo.

Cricket Victoria did a countdown of their best 30 moustaches over the past month, too.
