Players you Miss

[Line and Length]

Neil Harvey and, later, David Gower. I loved watching graceful lefties batting.

Shane Watson

The body of the gods, the physique of hercules and the runs powered like Jason. He was the perfect man. Cricket never recovered

I don't care for IPL but the fact that he played a final with a bleeding knee is just crazy.

Wasim

Yeah that'd be my answer too. Either him or Saeed Anwar.

On the commentary side of things, bill and tony

Tony - Good morning bull
Bill - good morning tony good morning all

I know you read that exactly the way it sounds in my head

 

[Tom Flint]

Shiv

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Thorpe
Lara
Richards
Crowe

Malcolm Marshall. No one has bowled like him since. Plus batting with a broken wrist to help Larry Gomes to a ton.

Steyn. Pure ***.

Also, apart from just everything else about him, he absolutely wreaked havoc in a very batting friendly era. Since 2014/2015/2016 or whatever things have clearly changed and are more in favour of the bowlers now (or at least more even). But he hardly bowled in this era for obvious reasons - would have been fun to see a peak Steyn.

 

[Burgey]

Mitchell Johnson was always box office, whether having a good or bad day

 

[Binkley]

Martin Crowe, and not just for watching him bat - he really got into his writing / thinking groove before he left us. I wish he had been alive to watch Ross Taylor score in the winning runs in the WTC final.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Steyn
Akhtar
Pietersen

 

[Slifer]

A great West Indian Test cricketer, any one would do

Very very true!!

 

[Kirkut]

Fully fit Shane Warne. Not the one who can barely walk in 98 and 01

I see what you did there

Those sleeveless jumpers are elegant af

The man just exuded class overall. Definitely a missed presence.

Bryce Mcgain

 

[Number 11]

Ryan Harris - his time was too short
