rangeelaraja Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) The contemporary great players I dislike with utmost passion are: Ben Stokes: Nearing all time great status, but cannot forget the imagery of his savage almost fatal physical assault for which he was suspended. He is a barbarian. He is the ultimate epitome of destiny's child. A primitive ruffian for whom destiny had rolled out the red carpet in a pre-ordained manner. David Warner: He is not much different from Ben Stokes. Barbaric and morally characterless. Steve Smith: Another example of destiny's child. Third rate cheat. Obnoxious physical presence and face. Former great players I dislike with utmost passion are: Greg Chappell: Third rate character. That under-arm bowling episode. Obnoxious physical presence. Nuff said. Miandad: Its a shame that our team in 70's and 80's was full of very sharif players. If this guy had to punjabi face heat from Gambo, Yuvi, Bhajji, Veeru let alone Kohli. G** phat jati is underworld ke sambdhi ki. Mcgrath: I HATED HIM SO PASSIONATELY. Part of the hate was also because apart from Sehwag in a few games here and there, there was no one we had who could hammer and humiliate him at will. Including Sachin, I always felt Mcgrath had the wood over Sachin, especially in big games. His attitude was no other team has the right to win. He was an absolute A*hole as an opponent.

Yup this is the guy along with Symonds, the part about SRT vs Mcgrath is partly true. I remember many of his victorious battles came when Oz had runs on the board, alot of them in fact. The 99/2k series was a farce with Oz umpires being really poor & super biased. Then came the Champions trophy, where Sachin got himself out. Same in 2001 series back at home. Of all the great bowlers, McG troubled him the most, but I'll disagree with the part about having wood over him.
diehardpacer Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) MSD -Pathetic, selfish ,stat-padder Ganguly -Lives in the past,held onto captaincy despite terrible form & captaincy post 2003 ,divided & politicized the team during Chappell & Dravid term. I don't count him as a great player either. Azhar-Better captain than Ganguly in terms of results.But a greedy crook Ashwin - Mankad non-sense( Buttler did nothing wrong ),Feel he had more success due to rank turners Laxman - Good batsman , annoying biased commentator Shmastri - Doubt anyone considers him a great player .The biggest tuk-tuker pretending to be aggressive,macho. Mushfiqur Rahim - Terrible attitude Edited January 21, 2020 by diehardpacer

McGrath is a big match player. We should not forget he is twice the height as Sachin. Real McCoy and Nikola 1 1
nevada Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I don't "personally dislike" any player but find a few of them annoying. Javed Miandad was perhaps the most annoying of them all. I loved watching him getting pinged on the head repeatedly by Venkatesh Prasad's bouncers in his final match! McGrath comes a close second. He was clutch, ripped the heart out of the top order and crushed opponents' spirits, bowled with metronomic accuracy, etc but acted like a prick with his mean sledging tactics. For someone of his talent, he didn't even need to sledge but he did it anyway. Dhoni - the worst non retirement ever. Selfish individual who has nothing left to give but continues to be greedy to grab ever more. After prolonging his faltering career by a good 2-3 years on the pretext of the 2019 World cup, he refuses to retire, putting undue pressure on Rishabh Pant with former players, media, public etc scrutinizing and magnifying his every little failure as if he stole Dhoni's place in the side. Mushfiqur - very childish and silly.
Straight Drive Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 All players involved in fixing and there are so many of them. But none of them were great.
SUMO Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Ponting Mcgrath (Andre Nel but he wasnt great lol) Never saw Miandad live, would qualify for most jahil cricketer ever
Shaukat Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Anderson and Broad duo Typical Poms Little puppy Gambhir Ponting, Big Head Johnson Hated the way he bowled His run up and so on
