Default Famous cricketers that you don´t enjoy watching perform.

There are cricketers who are legends but I still don't enjoy watching them play.

Rahul Dravid ( boring batting)
McGrath ( not so exciting to watch)
MoYo ( boring)
ChanderPAul (awkward)
Ponting ( never liked him)
Kallis (boring batting)
Laxman ( boring)

Pls add yours

PS:its just my personal choice/opinion, there is not much of logic involved, so no point arguing.

Shoaib Akhter? He was the most exciting pace bowler of the 90s (except Wasim/Waqar). That long run up, the jump, and the mighty swing of the arm, the inswinging yorkers. He was a special bowler in his prime. Only Shane Bond after could match that aggression.

I pretty much enjoyed all the players mentioned here except MoYo and Chanderpaul. So more players who are super boring --

Younis Khan
Hafeez
The entire 90s Eng team except maybe Atherton
Langer
Fleming
Laxman

I loved watching Bevan bat! It was so frenetic - in the era before T20s

Wow really surprised by some of your decisions. Matty Hayden, Ponting, McGrath were all fantastic to watch. Really surprised with Shoaib Akhtar's name being mentioned as well. The player that i just dislike watching sometimes is Phil Hughes (not really famous though). His only shot in his book is that late cut he plays for ones and twos. It pisses the eff outta me.

Surprised by a few of the names mentioned but for me chanderpaul has to be the worst, last time I watched a WI match I was very much enjoying them bat but after about 5mins of chanders I had to change the channel.

From current player, the one and only Dhoni. Batting looks so bad when he bats. Ulta palta, ura dhura technique. The ugliest batting technique I have ever seen.

Among the current players, Mesbah should be one of them.

I came in to this thread thinking JO would win this hands down. The amount of hatred he received in BC back in the days.....

If there was a scale 10 to 1 10 being the highest...

Shoaib Akthar would get a 14 from me.

Ricky Ponting 10.

Swann, Trott, Pieterson, Harbhajan, Jadeja, Dhawan, Afridi 6.

No one is more agonizing to watch than Shoaib Malik among the current bunch (yes I know he is spouse of Sania and also won the MOM for CPL Final).

Surprised to see Ponting's name up there. His batting was a treat to watch when he played at his best. He was one of the best pullers of the game.
