Who’s your FAVOURITE player?

 That's the outrageous pull of a ball from outside off , through midwicket. He pivots on one leg to play the shot and is still on one leg after completing it.
   It gets it's name from the bird that , when resting , even sleeping , is often seen standing on a single leg.

And includes the most fantastic twist of both wrists I've ever seen in a shot.

Originally posted by samhache debate is the crux of the forum W.G. i dont think ignorance is the right word, people percieve others differently, you of all people should know that. Never assume anything.

Ignorance is not an abusive or derogatory term - I am ignorant of many things, and am happy to be told such when I overstep my understanding on any matter.  You will discover, in time, that ignorance is the first step to learning - please stop presuming that there is any malicious intent, it becomes boring.

If you believe Pietersen to be unorthodox or to have poor technique then you are ignorant - of orthodoxy and technique.  You cannot play some of the shots KP pulls off without great technique.  Please do not mistake invention and power for unorthodoxy.

And I was joking, you even recognised it yourself. No need for the childish stuff, your a grown man.

I give up with you Bondy, you clearly have not a humorous bone, muscle or sinew in your body. PS As a lawyer - do you write your own legal documents?

Yes that stament is easily miscontrued.

I don't have one really, I enjoy watching all great cricketers. Sadly, they are becoming thin on the ground.

kumar sangakkara is one of my favourites. Out of the current sri lankan team, he is the best player equal with Murali.

yip, thats right, may i add that, this particular test was highly boring so, Sangakkara brought a bit of excitement to the day!

Definately some strange selections there......Jadeja? Hussain???? Very strange....

I guess i have never heard of some of those players ever being mentioned as Favourite players before. I respect your opinion but in my opinion, they are strange selections.....

he may be a decent cricketer but as a person....not half as good. Im guessing your from SA?

a little cocky? well, thats an understatement if I ever heard one. I suppose im being a little pre - judgemental since i dont actually know the guy, im going on what i hear.

Yep, I think you're right about being 'a little pre-judgemental' Samhache, you can't judge a book by its cover. Instead of making assumptions about his character, shall we just appreciate him for his awesome cricketing abilities?

Nah, I think I'd stick with awesome. He can destroy the opposition on his own.
