The “Naughty or Nice” list of the Year 2010-Part III
(Continued from Part II)
Dale Steyn is the James Bond of South African cricket; his name gives him such a Bond-esque sound to it. And as M Muralitharan has bid adieu to Test cricket, Steyn is fast becoming the future scary man. He already proved his grace as he scared England in
Johannesburg earlier this year and then rattled India at Centurion.
However, JP Duminy has been naughty this year. He only scored 58 runs in four Tests and was then dropped, yet he enjoyed his stint at the IPL. However, given his poor form he might not fetch the million dollars. However, the naughtiest cricketer for South
Africa and even international cricket this year has been Herschelle Gibbs. He explored his talents this year, writing being one of them. He narrated his fourteen years in the national team and his account was very disturbing, to be very honest. He dedicated
a good chunk of his book to women and booze and some inappropriate things that cannot be mentioned here. Oh and he also gave some inside scoop about a clergy in the Proteas camp. He was also relieved of his national contract by the board when they reached
to a mutual agreement. Gibbs will be jet skiing to Australia in 2011 to begin filming for his debut movie alongside Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan. Gibbs is in good hands.
England were naughty with a hint of sweetness
This year will forever be known as the year when England reigned supreme on Australian soil. It took them 24 years to take the Ashes title in front of the Aussies. The very handsome Alastair Cook raked hiatus with his double centuries in the first Test and
he surely is destined for greater things. As a side note, the scribe has a huge crush on Cook therefore Cook take the creamiest part of the cake. It will do well for his smooth skin as well.
Graeme Swann, England’s self-proclaimed clown prince also got the nod of being the world’s meanest spinner. He was the key player for England’s Twenty20 World cup and of course the victory in the land Down Under. He is also the most searched “bizarre” story
of the year about the cat being blamed for his drunk driving. Yet, Swannyg66- his Twitter account- is the most entertaining and funny celebrity on the micro-blogging website.
Kevin Pietersen has been naughty this year. Given his Twitter fiasco earlier this year when he slammed his country’s cricket board and cursed the selectors pretty badly. The board took a disciplinary action against him but some things just don’t go that
he easily. He was fined for speeding in a Lamborghini that was not even his in Australia. He also revolutionized the Movemeber movement as he sported a moustache for one month. He actually resembled a naughty French hotel receptionist. Oh, and he also found
his form in the Ashes Test matches.
However, James Anderson was the naughtiest for England. Not for rampaging through the Australian batting line up but for posing nude and that too for a g*y magazine. This is some serious naughty stuff. He had no qualms going naked for the magazine. However,
he was not alone. He was accompanied by the whiny Stuart Broad and the beautiful Cook. But it was all in the name of charity. Broad was also the naughtiest as he hit Zulqarnain Haider. But it was all in good fun or maybe Broad had some psychic powers to curb
the evil inside Haider.
