Who's the obnoxious weed in World Cricket, today?

[Plum]

Harbhajan Singh? The most famous of the species
Stuart Broad? The most blatant, ICC-backed thought leader in obnoxiousness (Cricket engappan soththudA!)
Sreesanth? Famous for being the nemesis of Harby above
Suleiman Benn? Angry young, tall man
Brad Haddin? He, of the "magical hands"
Shane Watson? Shoulder barger, par excellence

Not just that... he has a history of misdeeds behind him!

Sulaiman Benn ellam edhukku list-la sertheenga :huh: Avan avvalavu mosam illaiye :?

Enna ippadi kEtuputeenga?


Benn's behavioural issues came to a head during the Perth Test in December, when he was suspended for two ODIs following a clash with Mitchell Johnson and Brad Haddin. He had previously been fined and forced to have counselling after what was labelled "insubordinate" behaviour during a West Indies A tour of England in 2002.

His fiery nature has also been on display at club level, when he was fined after an altercation with an opponent while batting for his Barbados club Spartan

I think Haddin and Johnson were left scott free while Benn was punished. Seems like a hot tempered guy, but he is not that bad compared to other guys in the list.

How about Ponting fighting petulantly with umpires?

[Plum]

To me, the crown goes to Stuart Broad. A lot of English and Aussie bloggers love to make fun of him on his girly features and behaviours - but the key problem with him is his sense of entitlement. And the fact that he has got away with behaviour that would have brought life bans for the Gambhirs of the world makes it doubly bitter.

To me, he is the runaway winner

Though Ponting is arrogant, he always gives credit to the opposition when Aus lose. Sangakkara never does that.

Innaiku varaikum answer varala! :huh:

I am sure that he is the future of Indian cricket. I even feel that he would lead the team after Dhoni. 8-)

[Plum]

19th - specificA ippO oNNum solla mudiyala but immediately after the junior world cup win, in IPL-1 he was looking more like the next Yuvi than the next Dhoni. romba irritatingA irundhudhu especially IPL-1la
I admit he has grown as a person in the last 3 years and is far more mature and dependable now.

As I said, I am officially removing him from the obnoxious weed list in my mind

[Dinesh84]

yes.. sinna vayasula appadi ippadi nu irukurathu thaan.. so Kholi unselected .. I recommend Slater to be added in this elite list.. I remember him arguing with the umpire after his claim for catch was turned down by 3rd umpire.. in the 2001 series..

[Plum]

Slater is one of the few cricketers in history who sledged the umpire. The most famous one ofcourse is thalaivar Ponting.

He abused Venkatraghavan in that match and got away with it - it is easy to say why didnt Venkat complain to ICC etc. To me, that clearly shows what the ICC is - someone like Venkat not even bothering to make an issue of it most likely because he knew ICC will do nothing about it- it is not as if Slater was Ganguly.

And some people still maintain ICC has been King Solomon in its dealings with player behaviour.
Only the blind or stupid can deny ICC's historical bias against Asian players and bias towards Aussie/English players

[Puliyan_Biryani]

Kohli enna panninaan? Enakku onnum gyabagam illaye, can some one help me?

Innaiku varaikum answer varala! :huh:
A couple of instances I can remember:

1. Few years back, an U19 manager/coach ranted in public like this "U19 players are behaving like stars already and not respecting the game. They are more worried about hair styles and other extra-curricular activities". yaaru, eppo, enna-nu marandhupochu. But there were rumors at the time that it was Kohli.

2. I remember watching a program of Kohli in TV (2-3 years back I think). They tried to make the program casual so the concept was to take Kohli to his room where some of his Delhi team-mates would surprise him and then engage in casual chat. Almost all of them were definitely elder than Kohli but he was very rude and disrespectful. And no, it didn't look like team mates having fun.

But he seems a different person now. May become Indian captain in the future too.

[Sourav]

Voted 4 Shane Watson.

I wish an Indian win this :redjump: Voted for Bhajji :cheer:
