loooooooooooooooooooooooooong before my time.The Kippax Kid said:viv richards was brilliant to watch
nowadays it's Andy Flintoff, his wife is soooo fit.
Never saw him in actionThe Kippax Kid said:viv richards was brilliant to watch
But I like Tendulkar, even though his technique isn't as good as Lara's. Both legends.
Sehwag is a fun slogger to watch at times.
Jacques Kallis when on form was excellent.
viv in 1976 was just different class to anybody i have ever seen.
modern day players i enjoy watching are pieterson ,freddie ,inzy, tendulkar, ponting and sehwag.
my old favorites were derek randall, gower, botham, imran khan , kapil dev, gordon greenidge, dennis amiss, zaheer abbas, gundappa viswanath and wasim akram

he scored a test double hundred.M160RA said:

Viv Richards. Seen some magnificent players, such as Gavasker, Miandad, Greenidge, Chappell, Lloyd, etc etc but he was something else. Especially pre-84. As for quick bowlers, Imran, Lillee, Marshall, Holding, Garner, Younis, Akram, Ambrose. . . all fantastic.
At the present time, Mike Hussey.
Favourite of my time - Lara, Favourite Englishman - Thorpe.

Yes.
I liked Roger Harper too. Effortless in the field.
Also Neil Fairbrother. I think he didn't get a fair crack at Test level.

Remember Boycott versus Holding? Holding made him look rather silly.

whispering death.
he made many batsmen look silly
Garner was pretty effortless too. A better bowler than Ambrose for my money.
Greg Chappell, Allan Border, Desmond Haynes, Martin Crowe, Geoff Boycott (just because the Aussies hated him and at times couldn't get him out)!!!The Kippax Kid said:viv in 1976 was just different class to anybody i have ever seen.

Batter, what a stupid fecked up word. They are batsmen and Viv Richards would be the best I've seen, best now is Ponting, Sir Clive would be my fave.
He used to be one of my favourite commentators!TonyPark said:
gilchrist at his best is the most enjoyable to watch
The bowlers Holding. The Batsman's Willey.
Failing that ....
Tempura

The big hitters are the best to watch.

s you have a great taste in cricket, KK. A lot unlike from your taste in football teams.Compared to the greats he may have achieved feck all, and he may be an Aussie cnut, but Mark Waugh was a joy to watch almost everytime he played.

I doubt most of us got to see him play. Otherwise, Bradman, The Three Ws, Hammond and others of their ilk would've got mentions too.
I dont need to give my nomination.
Yuvraj is great to watch as well. And finally fulfilling his immense potential. Gayle is probably the best entertainer today.
