Shoaib Akhtar. Hated him after that test match in Kolkata where he took out Dravid and Tendy and then was invloved in Tendy Runout.

Right now he is one of my all time favorite player, I don't see a better sight in Cricket than Akhtar running to bowl.
Agree but never hated him. Well I did when I found out he took drugs. But wouldn't anyone?

Among Indian players, it took me a long time to start rating Gambhir. And Zaheer has been really good for a while now but I only properly got on the bandwagon quite recently.
awta re. Gambhir. I always thought he wasn't cut out for the highest level and was too loose around the off stump but he's proven me and all doubters wrong again and again. One of my favourites in the Indian team right now.

I was on here in 2005 telling you all Gambhir would be a gun.

Yes, sure I did base my judgement on the fact that he was a good player for me in International Cricket Captain on my PC, but that's besides the point. It turned out to be correct :cool:

I'm still holding out hope for Yashpal Singh. Absolute gun in ICC.

Yeah he was scoring hundreds every other game for me. Thought he was Yuvraj (Y Singh) for a whole season before I checked the full profile :laugh:

Dhoni. Disliked him for his ugly technique initially but now he's one of my AT favourites.

Gotta say Graeme Smith got a bit bucket of respect for the way he held himself, batted and above all walked out at Sydney in the last tour here.
