varun Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The thread about cricket articles being mundane, formulaic and cliched got me thinking about how almost all authors use the same adjectives to describe match situations, cricket shots, and players. Some of the most overused adjectives I can think about would be "little master", " express", "breathtaking", "legendary", and the list goes on. How about coming up with some original and new adjectives to describe a player I'll start off with a few.
