Mediocre cricketers who you support

[GoodAreasShane]

Kinda sorta inspired by the Shardul Thakur discussion in the Aus v Ind subbie

Sometimes you see a cricketer who by any objective standard isn't very good, yet you like them and want to see them do well anyway

Fire away

 

[Daemon]

Sri Lankan team

 

[Prince EWS]

Virat Kohli

More seriously, Nick Larkin for sure. I love the guy.

 

[Burgey]

A young Merv Hughes fitted this category for me.

[Daemon]

Rassie VDD
Wriddhiman Saha
Kraigg Brathwaite
Rahkeem Cornwall
Imrul Kayes

 

[Chubb]

I support Zimbabwe, it's pretty much all of them.

 

[OverratedSanity]

@Daemon Saha is most definitely a good cricketer overall.

 

[Starfighter]

Glenn Maxwell
Daniel Worrall

 

[OverratedSanity]

Temba Bavuma
Kraigg Brathwaite
Tim Paine (when not playing India)
Shan Masood

 

[Daemon]

@Daemon Saha is most definitely a good cricketer overall.

I think Paine is the fairly mediocre and would take Paine over Saha in my team

Fair enough but depends heavily on conditions. In asia where keeping to spin becomes crucial, saha has been an asset.

 

[Prince EWS]

Rassie VDD
Wriddhiman Saha
Kraigg Brathwaite
Rahkeem Cornwall
Imrul Kayes

Respect the Saha.

Rassie's a good one though.

I used to support Mohammed Sami, Russel Arnold, Alan Mullaly, and Adam Dale. There were a few others as well I guess. I don't watch enough cricket these days to support anyone - Kusal Mendis perhaps.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Fidel Edwards. I thought he could have been a world-class bowler, but he just didn't get there for some reason.

 

[Burgey]

Russel Arnold

Russel's young bloke is in the Parra Green Shield side this year.

 

[Burgey]

@TheJediBrah sadly supports the Renegades in the BBL, so he has plenty to choose from.

 

[honestbharani]

*cries in Karun Nair*

 

[nzfan]

Tom Blundell. He has pretty good year record so not necessarily mediocre but his one day and T20s don't look flash. At the moment the numbers may suggest mediocre but he'll come good in the long run.

Like the way he walks away calmly after getting out. Looks a happy chappy always.

 

[Bijed]

I'm quite a big fan of Karunaratne but he's probably above mediocre, at least in tests
