My Favourite Cricketer

Why don’t you go ahead and tell us ‘who is your favourite cricketer’?

Along with the excellent Balanced Sports, we invited cricket journalists, writers, bloggers and fans to give flowing tributes to their favourite player. This was by no means the players they considered the best but rather who they love for their approach, flamboyance, or any other idiosyncrasies.

The culmination was a fantastic array of articles all completely different. It goes to show just how vibrant the cricket writing community really is. You can see the results below.
