Warne - the only cricketer I've ever made an effort for to watch.

Tremendous player,would have had a much better record if he played in our teams from
Last 10years as opposed to 10 before.
Alec Stewart was a favourite of mine and loved Ramprakash as a youth aswell. How he couldn't cut it at test level is hard to fathom

Boycott was my favourite cricketer in the 60s and 70s. Then I saw Viv Richards and Michael Holding - best batsman and best bowler ever in my opinion.
Right now the only one would be Moeen Ali.

Sir Geoffrey Boycott, best opening batsman ever, and if you don't believe me just ask Geoffrey.

four of the top three iirc
Wasim Raja / Greenidge / Richards / Gower / Willis from my youth, perversely Chris Tavare as well, when we played in the street and there were no runs but how many balls you survived you had to study Tavare !
more recently Langer / Colly of course
and Kapil Dev because he was a really nice bloke when I was lucky enough to meet him

Shout-out to Ramps, too. Brilliant batsman and a true gent.
Remember when I was about 13, bunking off school to go to a days play at the Oval. Think he got out for about 98, and as he walked up to the dressing room, I ran over and asked him to sign my scorecard. He let me come up with him and got all the Surrey boys in the dressing room to sign it for me, despite spitting feathers that he hadn't made a ton.
