Overweight Cricketers

[Tin Man]

Colin Milburn was “tubby” but is my favourite all time batsman.

 

[Parkside]

I D Blackwell would easily qualify. Could have been an England regular if he could have bothered his @rse - had trouble getting it through the boundary gate.

 

[Struts]

Paul Sterling

 

[Sol Invictus]

I was watching the game on Sky yesterday and thought the same thing about Rossington.

He's been around for quite a few years too.

There have been plenty of porkers in the past - Colin Milburn, Mike Procter, Ian Botham...

...and who can forget Dwane Leverock?

"He's been ROUND for quite a few years"

I'm sure that there is a rather large Pakistani wicket keeper but I cant remember his name

Azam Khan i think his name is.

That's the fellow. He was 22 stone but has lost a bit of weight recently

Moin Khan's son. I mean Inzamam Ul Haq was big boned but this lad is bigger.

Anyone remember the Pakistan captain Inzaman (Inzy) Ul Haq.

Proper heavyweight but class batsman who had the odd hilarious way of getting out

Class batter was Inzy. Big boned mate, was never what I would call fat. This Azim Khan on the other hand....

Although, one of the posters have said he has lost a bit of clem lately.

 

[Lumley End]

He looked like a raffle winner when he faced Mark Wood at the Oval a couple of years ago. Never seen someone so out of their depth.

Nepo baby 100% no way he'd be anywhere near the international set up if his father wasn't a Pak great. I mean he can hit a big ball but that's about it. Can't run, can't field even with gloves.

This is what happens when nepotism is taken to the extreme.

Anya Shrubsole was a hefty unit by the time she finished too.

Aye, Sophie Ecclestone was carrying a bit last year as well.

Mark Cosgrove the Aussie springs to mind, still a very very good cricketer in his day

There's a few England women cricketers that can also fall into that category - Ecclestone and Capsey were the main culprits last year.

He was comical when I saw him. A few claims of nepotism from Pakistan fans.

 

[Voice of fair play]

Played for Swalwell

Yeah with a hell of a lot success, scored a absolute boat load of runs

In 2005 when he was at Swalwell and the Aussies were over here he was asked to check in with them for a fitness check up. He went AWOL

Middlesex v Durham -June 28.New ECB initiative that each team plays one home and one away against a team from another zone.
