Welcome to this edition’s segment of “Top 10″ where we will be covering the Top 10 Entertaining Persons in the present Cricketing world.
Entertainment plus Cricket has become a corporate funda for cricket. Today we showcase the cricketing people who made a difference to TRPs and those who converted non cricketing fans to the die hard fans.
To Start with, it would be unfair if we don’t mention 3 players who couldn’t make it to Top 10 cause of their current status in their respective teams :- the tricky Freddie Flintoff, brutal Andrew Symonds and the express bolt Shoib Akthar !
So Lets get in to the real business area now…
At no.10 >>>>>>
Kevin Peterson
You Thought you bowled it right, but I will prove you got it wrong ! Thats one shock wave Kevin Pietersen sent over the bowling fraternity all around the world with his ” SWITCH HIT ” !! This SouthAfrican Born English player redefined the art of orthodox English cricket with his swash buckling innings and helped England emerge as a aggressive force on the International Scene..So KP, is deservedly in the Top 10.
David Warner
This little dynamo arrived on the International scene with a blitzkrieg 89 off 43 balls creating havoc among the Proteas attack. David Warner is a live wire on the cricket ground. Be it with his stunning shots or with his breathtaking efforts in the outfield, with him around there is no shortage of entertainment. David Warner makes it at no.9 !
Lasith Malinga
If there is one bowler who can make you dance to his tunes even on a flat surface, its the ‘Slinga Malinga’. His unusual side arm bowling action was a rage when he entered the international scene and who could forget his feat against SouthAfrica in Worldcup 2007 where he picked 4 in 4 balls in the final over of the match- where he arrived as one of the best death bowling specialists! His experiments with hairstyle is a style statement among the fans. To top it all, his bowling action forced the umpires to remove their ties and adjust to a new dress code altogether ! With Malinga on the field, its all happening!
T.M Dilshan
Inventor of the Dil”scoop” – is one of the greatest come back stories of modern cricket. His scoop shot is such a craze not just among fans but also the cricket players around the world, who every now and then try to make the Dil”scoop” work. Dilshan’s aggressive batting style made him a permanent feature of Sri Lankan cricket and is a big threat to the opposition teams. Dilshan also bowls some useful partimers and is a electric fielder. Not to mention, he is Srilanka’s back up wicket keeper. So Dilshan being a complete entertaining package takes him to no.7
Dwayne Bravo
The word entertainment is synonymous to the Caribbean, and who can stop them from entering the top 10. He bats, he bowls, he gives it all in the field… Introducing Caribbean sensation Dwayne Bravo at no.6. This cheerful player from T&T is such a TNT when it comes to making a difference to a game. His vicious slower ball or his rip off batting style holds promise. Bravo is a crowd favorite for his style statements and passionate celebrations every time he gets a wicket. His occasional jigs in T20 matchesand his crowd appeal makes him an irresistible choice at no.6.
Chris Gayle
At no.5 is the Calypso King himself –> The Gentle Giant from West Indies “Chris Gayle”. He is one of the most threatening left handed batters in the modern cricket history and his sky scrapper hits show it all. He is the 1st batsman ever to score a 100 in T20 matches and still holds the record for the highest individual score in a T20 innings. With him at the crease, no bowler or fielder can think of resting for slightest of a second in any form of cricket. His brutal hits are something crowd cherishes every single time.
Billy Bowden
Surprise!! Surprise!! But No Surprise, Billy makes it to the top charts of entertainment ! Billy Bowden redefined the umpiring profession with his unusual, at times funny and highly entertaining cricketing gestures and signals. He broke the shell of umpires being a serious souls concept and worked his way out to entertain the crowd making sure there is no moment of lull when he is around. Be it the famous crooked finger (signalling out) or the dance number six signal or be it the sensuous leg bye..therz just one word to define >> “LOL”. Thanks Billy for making cricket a better sport to watch !!
Kieron Pollard
Also known as “The Beast” – he is one brutal force in recent times, who can turn games in the span of just a few deliveries. Keiron Pollard is undoubtedly the top ranked smash hitters in world cricket. His shots clear the boundaries in no time and is known for his meaty and beasty shots which is a treat to the spectators. Not to forget his famous T20 hair style in last years Champions League ! This latest sensation is the man for the future, and club teams are already lined up to sign this wonderful cricketer.
Shahid Afridi
Introducing BOOM BOOM at no.2. This man is outright crowd favorite and the main reason he jumps up to no.2 is the ever lasting excitement in the crowd when he is at the crease even though he is not the most consistent batsman in the world. Shahid Afridi holds the record for the most number of sixers in the ODI format and his six per match average is almost 1 which is higher than any other cricketer in the world by a huge margin. This Pakistani sensation also holds record for the fastest century in ODI cricket !!
