speedheat Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 NZ Almost all of their players in present and past have been likeable. They punch above their weight as well. With WI I don't like Pollard, Russell etc I can understand hate for pollard but why the hell Russell?? The guy is phenomenon one of the best athlete.. May be because of his affair with drugs??

They play with passion and have always been competent despite not having Star players. they are the only side i personally dont feel bad loosing to, not sure why. I always think Middle earth when i see new Zealand team and imagine Samwise gamgee. Mosher, Forever Indian and speedheat 3 Link to comment

flat_wicket_bully Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Liked Australia of 90 and 2000's. At one point was liking them more than India lol. Currently my fav as a neutral fan is SA ( I am the first one here ) speedheat 1 Link to comment

I remember in one of IPL games they gave him a microphone while playing, he totally owned the commentary space for a few deliveries even as he was playing in the field. Harsha was laughing later told him to go off quickly so that he can keep him job for a bit longer. Link to comment

bixente Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 SA is my fave team, really like Amla, De Villiers, du Plessis, Philander, Morkel, Kock, lot of their players. I miss Kallis a lot. I'm warming up to Bangladesh too. Shakib, Mushfiqur etc. speedheat 1 Link to comment

bixente Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 NZ are pretty likeable. I really like BJ Watling, gutsy player. Oh and I really like the NZ and SA national anthems - so rousing. speedheat 1 Link to comment

waga Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Gotta be South Africa. Player for player the bets bowling attack (minus test spinner) and one of the best batting line ups as well. For how good they are they do kind of under perform, they still do well but they don't have the kind of money to throw at the cricket team like England, Australia and India do. The sad thing is though the bureaucracy, quotas and budget hold them back so much. So many great players for England, Australia and NZ were South African. Kyle Abbot is one of the best bowlers in the world but he had to sign a colpack deal because he couldn't afford to keep playing sporadic tests. If they had the infrastructure of the big 3 they would be by far the #1 team. rahulrulezz 1 Link to comment
YCCC Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Whoever isn't the favourite to win I guess. Supporting NZ against SA now but supported Bangladesh against them earlier in the year. Also I may swap during a series as I want it to be competitive to the end. If one team wins the first match I may swap to the other team for the next one. For the India v Aus series I've been swapping during a match willing the team under pressure to come back and it's worked. Been a great see sawing series. Anyway to sum up I guess you could say I don't have a favourite neutral team but usually support the Windies against anyone. I probably wouldn't have done if I'd been around in the 80s though!
