Which international cricketer do you most resemble on the field?

Wow - there are some pretty good fielders on this forum... Mark Waugh, Mark Taylor :)

(I realise people aren't actually saying they're that good)

U19 Vice-Captain
Batting- Try to bat like Yuvraj Singh, but teammates say it comes out like an ugly-Lara

Bowling- I run in like Holding (nice and slow with a hint of swagger), but come in at an angle and side on like Marshall.

Fielding- Self confessed live wire- other captains always make 'Jonty' remarks when the ball comes to me.

Lunch/Tea- nice and polite, but always get in there like Flintoff

Bowling- I have never properly bowled once in my life so not applicable.
Batting- Technique has gone to pot and all I do now is pinch hit open though when in pomp I have been told I resemble Moin Khan.
Fielding- Pretty good backward point fielder, have a pretty accurate and powerful throw, can make spectacular catches though I have dropped a few sitters in my time. In all honesty only played last season thanks to my fielding.
Running between the wickets- Brendon McCullum, I use to be a sprinter and being a personal trainer my fitness level and running between the wickets is very good though because my team-mates are usually fat and not very quick I usually find myself running out at least two players an innings or worse myself.

I am deeply fattened to be compared favourably with the Greatest* Living Kiwi.

Flattened.

Flatter.

Flattered. That's right. Deeply flattened.

Boony batting-wise, in that we both rely disproportionately on the on-drive.

Bowling would be Kasper-ish, in that only left handers need fear me.

My bowling was at one time Harmisonesque, therefore only square leg umpires and the tea lady needed fear me.

Bowling - Bondy. I usually can't bowl because of my heat exhaustion, back stress fracture, foot stress fracture, stomach virus, bung knee, or just general lack of match fitness.

But when I do, you should see me.

Seriously though, my brother once said I had the Lance Cairns wrong step when I bowled.
