Pros And Cons of Icons![Freddie flintoff]

[max_dillon2007]

Hi everyone, in this thread we all would post pros/cons (Good/bad) of Cricketing Icons. This would be really interesting. We would start with one player at a time and post 10 Pros and 10 cons bout him, then we move on to the other one.

So we Shall start with---

Glenn M'cgrath.

P1- Ultra accurate bowler.
P2- Inspire everyone in the team,especially young ones.
P3- His work for cancer patients.

C1- He likes to sledge but cant take it.(everyone remember Sarwan episode)

 

[evertonfan]

Pros - He's the greatest fast bowler to have ever graced this universe and is one of the great cricketers of any era.

Cons - He isn't English.

 

[Dare]

pros- he is retired, so the rest of the world doesn't have to get powned by him.

cons- he is retired, if you are a Australian cricket fan you are pissed as hell

 

[max_dillon2007]

guys, plzzzzadd numbers to your pros and cons so that we can change the Cricketer when we reacj 10 pros and cons.

Example: See my post. Everton fan should have written his Pros as P4 and Dare you should have written as P5. Same goes for Cons

 

[metallics2006]

Pros: He can still play T20 when he is 40.

Con: Too bad its for Delhi and not for Australia.

 

[max_dillon2007]

Pro- Still bowls faster than india's Third seamer.
Con- Never scored a 100 while gillespie managed a 200

 

[jordox]

C1- He likes to sledge but cant take it.(everyone remember Sarwan episode)

That isn't a fair example. Sarwan (Without knowing his wife had cancer) mentioned Mcgrath's wife who was very ill with cancer at the time. I'm pretty sure most husbands on Earth would go off at someone who brings their wife into it.

I don't see the point of this thread.

Pros - Best fast bowler ever in my eyes.

Cons - No real cons.

 

[angryangy]

Pros - He's the greatest fast bowler to have ever graced this universe and is one of the great cricketers of any era.

Cons - He isn't English.

Pro - his kids would qualify for England
Con - you still won't ever get your hands on them

 

[max_dillon2007]

Player Changed.

[Andrew Flintoff]

Pros- unarguably the best bowler in English side
Pros- Can change a match at anytime.

 

[OffCutters]

Flintoff-
Pros- Has good pace
Cons- A little bit inconsistent with the bat

 

[Collingwood50]

Cons - Is Known to get into a pedalo when slightly intoxicated, capsise it, require saving by a local during the world cup

 

[metallics2006]

Pros - One of the best ODI bowlers around atm.

Cons - Injury prone.

 

[King Cricket]

Pros- Has both: pace and talent, England's best bowler ATM, also a pretty decent allrounder.

Cons- Often gets injured. Sometimes over-acts a bit (That drug incident after which he was immediately removed from captaincy, also that "taking his shirt off" episode at Nagpur)

 

[aussie_ben91]

Cons: Was captain when England lost 5-0 in the Ashes.

Stick that right up ya FREDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYY!!

 

[Precambrian]

Cons: Was captain when England lost 5-0 in the Ashes.

Stick that right up ya FREDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYY!!

And who;s the only captain to lose an Ashes in England despite having Warne and McGrath?

Flintoff is an extremely overrated player. He was good for a couple of seasons around 2005. After that he has steadily gone down the hill. And is in the test team purely because of his reputation.

However in ODIs he is still a formidable force. His batting has been **** though.
