Who do you respect in Zimbabwe cricket?

[ZIMDOGGY]

Ok,

I know theres a bit of love for nearly everyone in the team and many associated with it, but who of these people do you REALLY respect?
and what are your reasons?

I'll name a few of mine personally:

Andy Flower:

Best batsman in Zim, rose to the top, stayed loyal to his country for the most part, also gave Mugabe the finger metaphorically speaking.

Henry Olonga:

This is one very brave black man.

He lost everything he had when he stood up to Mugabe, he had to flee. He was the first black cricketer, he is very well spoken, doesnt talk like a caveman and always seems polite and articulate with his words, he is also a multi talented artist/muso.


Mark Vermeulen:

The toughest cricketer in the world.

He is the only one with a bit of grunt in what is, lets face it, a weak sport (i love cricket.....but lets face it, its the gentlemans game...its not a game for the bold, brash and the warriors of the world...although probably a good thing all round). He also comes across to me as very very loyal, he wouldnt leave your side.

Anyone who is willing to go toe to toe with an abusive spectator and not take any crap despite the consequences is ok with me.
You'd love to have him behind your back in a fight...he wouldnt back down, and you gotta respect the crazy.



I'd like to hear the forum members and there reasons.
Personally speaking i would accept any explanation, this is everyones personal opinion and others shouldnt be ridiculed if they dont agree.

For instance, if someone respects matsikenyeri for being talented i will laugh in disbelie but i wont attack them.

When Gus Mackay steps in a puddle he doesn't get wet, the puddle gets Gus Mackay'd.

As far as i know Gus Mackay is the only person who can slam a revolving door...


To be? or not to be?...

That is the question....




The answer?

Gus Mackay!

I respect most of the players in total honesty. I may not like watching some of them, but that doesn't mean I hate them and show a lack of respect. Perhaps Elton Chigumbura for his grit and determination to succeed in international cricket, and for his never ending smile and wonderful personality.
