Cricketer Of The Year
Stephen Fleming is advertising pretty much anything at the moment.

Recently he was in India filming some television & billboard advertisements & recently in Australia he did a Rexona ad with Ricky Ponting...I even see he's been advertising home loans in the paper.

Now expect almost 1/3 of the replies if you had not said AA thing. Liked cricketer in my view you mean who is more in the news . Then let me put it in this way . Dont just take one player if you are gonna get good voting . Because just because of one big vote bank the poll thing screws up . So let me make it Polls wise ....
1. Sachin Tendulkar (India) marks 100/100
2. Sourav Ganguly (India) marks 100/100
3. Rahul Dravid (India) marks 100/100
4. Laxman (India)marks 100/100
5 Balaji (india) marks 100/100
6. Zaheer khan marks 100/100
7. Nehra (India) marks 100/100
8. Patel (India) marks 100/100
9. Kumble (India) marks 100/100
10. Pathan (India) marks 100/100
11. AA lololololol had to say now If I am wrong put a poll on the results are gonna be the same . The vote bank (you know)
Now just get down to business and serious talk
Well Steve Waugh is the most respected personality of his times, And you know what I guess Stephen Fleming is the best personality in the world cricket today . And he is a person to be liked by every one . Even Aussies will agree that .. Right
Do you ever make any ****ing sense at all ??

I would put down my list from the people i have enjoyed watching the most.

Wasim Akram - The greatest bowler in my view, great to watch, always doing something with the ball and always playing around with the batsman.

Brian Lara - In my view one of the best left arm batsman ever produced, just brilliant and so aggressive, who has not been afraid of any bowler.

Sachin Tendulkar - One of The greatest stroke maker i have seen, when in form there is not a better timer of the ball. Its like he touches the ball and its gone.

Shoaib Akhtar - Fast and Furious, he has the ability to turn the game any minute, he is a bowler who can scare the hell out of almost any batsman when in form.

I will with Waqar Younis, i think he the best behaved pakistani cricketer ever. If you forget the Symonds incident, i never saw him misbahiving with any batsman or any opponent, No Cursing which is very Non Pakistani Fast bowler like.lol....Even after he gets hit for a boundery, he would just walk up to the batsman, pull his shirt back from his chest, smile and say some thing to batsman but never a bad word.

Hanse Cronje - As honest as the day is long...and he'll prove his popularity when he makes his return to international cricket.

Mark Ramprakash - A man who was always prepared to accept his limitations as a test cricketer without blaming others.

Darren Lehmann - Epitomy of a true sportsman, especially when playing non-white cricketers.

Brian MacMillan - See Darren Lehmenn.

Alan Donald - Always put playing for his country before a lucrative english county contract.

Jonty Rhodes - see Alan Donald.

Nantie Hayward - The only guy who was prepared to admit he put a lucrative english county contract before playing for his country.

Younis Ahmed - Did anyone a good turn...if the odds were right.

Phil Tufell - Despite the scurilous accusations of wife bashing he has emerged as one of the UK's loveable rascals after winning Big Brother 2.

Ian Botham - A one woman man if ever there was one. Also fully respectful of other cultures and societies.

Tony Grieg - Popular only for his loyalty to 12 diferent countries. at any given time.

Sir Tim Rice - Writer of some of the most atrocious lyrics known to man.

That's "Tufnell" and he won "I'm a celebrity get me out of here", Big Brother 2 was like last year...maybe longer!

Personally:
- Akram
- Dravid
- Laxman
- Gilly
- Sachin
- Jayasuriya
- Murali

There's something there in all of them that I like, there are other great cricketers whose attitudes I admire but the competitiveness of Murali, the concentration of Dravid, sportsmanship of Gilly etc. all appeals to me as a cricket fan.

Akram definitely. There's nobody more exciting to watch on the field.

Also really like Sehwag's attitude -- he's really open about who he is and how he plays.

Loved the Tendulkar of old, who lived and died by the sword.

added later -- From what little I've seen of Sanjay Manjrekar on and off the field, I really like him. In terms of commentary, I think he's one of the better Indians around. He may not be as polished as Shastri or Gavaskar, but he provides a lot more insight than their hackneyed lines.

Well said . I admire Manjrekar really . He and Vengsarkar and sunil Gawaskar are my personal favourites Indians . (My present favourites are only Dravid , Kumble and some what Tendulkar ). I remember Manjrekar making a double ton in Pakistan in Indias last test toured to Pakistan in 1989 . I dont know why Indian selectors kept on ignoring him . he is a master player . Imran Khan hardly praises any guy . In Imran's view Vivian Richards had the greatest talent and According to Imran There has'nt been any other batsman who cnan touch the class of Viv . And he has said Gawaskar is quite nice and so is Manjrekar .
