In chronological order, each of these was my favourite test player.

Rick Darling
Peter Toohey
Doug Walters
Mark Taylor
Glenn McGrath

I will admit that my judgement wasn't great as a youngster and there was a period in the 80s where I hated all test cricketers. I have really liked some overseas players at times but not enough to call them my favourite player.

Just a really big fan of his work tbh. One of the first Tests I watched all the way through on TV was his debut when he got 8 in the match against us.

I imagine he must be hugely frustrating when he's playing (or not playing) for the team you support but seeing as I'm a Kiwi I don't really care how he performs for Pakistan. Just love the way he bowls.
