The least exciting player to watch in world cricket is..?

Question

Fill in the blanks

Answer 1

I would have to say the shotless wonder Mark Richardson who i belive also has the record for facing the most balls per test which was about 180 odd per test. correct me if im wrong

but i guess hes not playing anymore so i would have to somebody like ashwell prince or hasim amla arn't the most exciting players to watch

Answer 2

I have to agree with puntroad, Rahul "The Wall" Dravid bores me.

For example, at the Oval in August, Dravid took two and a half hours (and 96 balls) to hit 12 when his Indian side were looking to push on for a declaration!!

Come the first Test against Australia in Melbourne he took it even further, batting 257 minutes and 180 balls in the match for just 21 runs!!! The Aussie crowd greeted every single with ironic cheers... maybe he was right to sit out the World Twenty20 after all!!   :)

Answer 3

This may shock you to your toes! But Ponting is my least favourite. I know, I know! He is probably one of the World's best, but he irritates me when we are in desperate need of runs & he comes in patting the ball a whole 2 metres & getting nowhere.BORING! lol. Everyone tells me he's just being careful & saving his wicket, but boy it irks me.

Answer 4

Wasim Jaffer

Answer 5

Hands down, it's Ajit Agarkar for me. And you being a cricket fanatic, you know the reasons all too well.

Answer 6

Stuart McGill by far.

Answer 7

is very slow.yersterday,he made 1 run of 35 balls!

Answer 8

(Michael Vaughan was with that 130 ball 30 the other day!)

Toughie - many players on bad days (or bad pitches) can be really boring to watch. England, as a team, in a ODI are the worst, particularly in the powerplays, in which we struggle to score 4 and over. They're not called 'Power'plays for nothing...

Answer 9

Answer 19

this would have been easier 3 years ago, cos i could have said Mark Richardson for New Zealand, good batsman but anyone that bats thru a full day to score 93 not out.... that would be like watching paint dry!

Jaffer comes to mind but i havent seen much of him, only out here last summer, and even then it was bugger all cos our bowlers (Lee in particular) made a mess of his stumps on a regular basis, so i would go out on a limb and say Jacques Kallis, a top of the range batsman as far as quality goes, much the same as Dravid, but Dravid can dominate an attack if he chooses to (which admitedly is not very often!!), whereas i i always hear about Kallis scoring consistantly, but i have never seen or heard of him really getting stuck into a bowling attack and dominating them and smashing them all around the park, so while he is a great batsman, it doesnt mean hes not a boring one

(was thinking at one point of saying Collingwood, then thought "i'm no chance of getting 10 points if i name a Pom! mind honestly Collingwood is no where near as boring as Kallis!)
