Love to Hate XI

Post by Booney »

With the retirement of Virat Kohli it made me think of who I love to hate in World Cricket and who I have over the years, so, let's assemble the SA Footy Love to Hate XI.

Think of those who you hate them, but only because they were so good and/or they put it in our faces as we love to do.

For mine there's a few easy selections.

Virat Kohil
Stuart Broad
Ben Stokes
Richard Hadlee
Ian Botham
Curtly Ambrose

A few who might make the cut.

Viv Richards
Rishabh Pant

Who you got?

Team WIP

Warner
G.Smith
Pietersen

If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Curtly AND Viv??? C'mon Boon... :lol:

Arjuna "Mars Bar" Ranatunga surely gets a gig.
James Anderson has had that shat shit-eating grin for far too long, him & Broad would be the most despsied opening bowling pair in a while.
Davey Warner, cos no team like this would be complete without a nomination at least :lol:
my yes be yes, my no be no

Andrew Strauss for me. Never forget a catch he claimed at Lords, bounced twice before it got to him.

Graham Swan goes in to the team too. Stupid bloody sprinkler dance!

Akram was an awesome talent.

Not sure why there'd be much hate for him.

I agree. I was only paraphrasing the chant from back in the day.
