Who is cricket's greatest alpha character?

[subshakerz]

Feel free to define alpha character as you wish as I realise it is somewhat subjective.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It’s gotta be Shakib

 

[Coronis]

He liked a shag did Wally.

Curtly fear no man.

 

[kyear2]

IVA Richards and DK Lillee

 

[Slifer]

One of Viv Richards or Imran Khan. Lillee not too far behind either.

 

[Coronis]

Grace of course deserves a mention.

*Puts bails back on* They came to see me play.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Virat Kohli

 

[smash84]

One of Viv Richards or Imran Khan. Lillee not too far behind either.

One of Viv, Miller, or Imran IMO.

[capt_Luffy]

Viv

Then probably Imran followed by Lillee. Sobers also deserves a mention.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Greatest ever is Viv Richards. Imran, Lillee, Miller honourable mentions. Today probably Kohli

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Grace of course deserves a mention.

*Puts bails back on* They came to see me play.

Yeah my first thoughts were Grace and Chris Woakes.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Grace probably. Though I would have Syd Barnes up there with W.G.

After leaving Australia, the team were crossing the Tasman Sea in a storm which had them "fearing for their lives". At one point, MacLaren was heard to say: "Well, there's one consolation. If we go down, that bugger Barnes will go down with us".

A true alpha wouldn’t have got caught.
