Holysmoke Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I'm guessing this is only for retired players. Even then, where's Lara?
cowboysfan Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 the latest player inductee is miandad who retired in 96.come to think of it warne and kumble might have to wait a while.
Holysmoke Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Players to be added.. Ambrose Tugga Lara Wasim Waqar Kumble Warne Mcgrath Murali Surya Walsh Dravid Sachin Gilly Donald and Shahid King Khan the real Pathan beast Afridi
Lord Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Players to be added.. Ambrose Tugga Lara Wasim Waqar Kumble Warne Mcgrath Murali Surya Walsh Dravid Sachin Gilly Donald and Shahid King Khan the real Pathan beast Afridi :hysterical:
Anakin Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 The beast should have a separate hall of his own
SachDan Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 To add a few to Holy's list..Pollock,Inzamam,Ganguly. But seriously are they sleepin?? Why no one after Miandad ?
Kashmir_boy Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 This id quite shocking as its show that the ICC are either too lazy or dont have any new players to add to the ICC hall of fame. A new list should be made with new players the likes of sachin,lara,warne, murali, kumble, gilly, ambrose, waqar and akram should all be added. these guys are the elit and should take this players not players with the same level as dravid and ponting etc......... even though they have players who shouldnt be there!!!!
cowboysfan Posted January 2, 2009 Author Posted January 2, 2009 most hall of fames are slow to induct new members.i dont know how many they will induct each year but i cant imagine it being more than 2 or 3 a year.some great west indies bowlers are next i would imagine.
Tapioca Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 most hall of fames are slow to induct new members.i dont know how many they will induct each year but i cant imagine it being more than 2 or 3 a year.some great west indies bowlers are next i would imagine. You have to be retired for five years to be inducted in Australian cricket hall of fame and in the baseball HoF. Here it looks like 10.
Tapioca Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 A fair list mostly. Wicket-keepers won't be too happy. They have gone by reputation more than statistics (Larwood, Pollock, Barry Richards). Most of the expected names are in except a few like Clarrie Grimmett, Victor Trumper. Tom Graveney is possibly the only surprising entry.
Rajan Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Afridi is a certainity in "hall of shame"- his pitch dance was the most note worthy followed by his suspension for abusing umpire David Shepperd in world cup:hysterical:
SachDan Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Afridi is a certainity in "hall of shame"- his pitch dance was the most note worthy followed by his suspension for abusing umpire David Shepperd in world cup:hysterical: on a different note..Rajan, how you managed to survive for so long in Padosi site filled with brainless AFRETARD fans ?:--D
Rajan Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 on a different note..Rajan' date=' how you managed to survive for so long in Padosi site filled with brainless AFRETARD fans ?:--D[/quote'] my golden rule: never open Afridi fanatic's threads! other than that many of them are suffering from huge inferiority complex about their batsmen not being even discussed in the same sentence as Sachin , Lara, Ponting. for instance, recently read some genius post- Parthiv patel is a more gifted/talented batsman than Sachin- tell me how low some one can stoop!!! another thing most of them are mortally afraid of is the dominance of BCCI. U shud really read those conspiracy theories flying around and the people's willingness to imagine and believe it as God's confirmation! having said all that, there are many forummers from SA, AUstralia, England, west indies, SL, BD to share their views and some times discuss views with out the kind of bitter, biased,prejudice ridden and acrimonious "indians are evil, BCCI is a demon, Indian seamers never bowl above 120kmph,indian batsmen are FTB's..." comments from some bigoted people.the multi culturalism is missing here to a large extent.
The Outsider Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 A fair list mostly. Wicket-keepers won't be too happy. They have gone by reputation more than statistics (Larwood' date=' Pollock, Barry Richards). Most of the expected names are in except a few like Clarrie Grimmett, Victor Trumper. [b']Tom Graveney is possibly the only surprising entry. Probably because of his nephew's role as the English selector.
cochise Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 The beast should have a separate hall of his own Cage would be more appropriate
