Your Favourite Current Player for each test playing nation

[StinkyBoHoon]

Most of the people like Saeed Ajmal .

I think saeed ajmal's popularity is as much linked to his brilliant ability as it is to the 2010 series versus england when in hindsight it was obvious he was straining every sinew to get a corrupt team winning and the way he went about it with dignity, not publically moaning simply doing his best to inspire the good guys. his reaction when they won that test match was fantastic.

Australia- Mike Hussey, what a guy.
Bangladesh- Shakib Al Hasan
England- I quite like bresnan, he's unfairly under-rated by a lot of the fans.
India- Kohli, the man's a boss.
New Zealand- I like jesse ryder, even though I shouldn't. he needs to sort himself out though, he's a wonderful player to watch when on song.
Pakistan- Saeed Ajmal
South Africa- graeme smith
Sri Lanka- Mahela Jayawardene, my favourite current player
West Indies- Chris Gayle
Zimbabwe- Brendan Taylor

To me there are 2 categories of favourite: 1) being the guy you most like to watch play, 2) the other being the man you most admire. Not in a queer way , the guy you admire for the way they carry themselves/their behaviour on and off the field. Sometimes they are the same player.

Australia: Michael Clarke/Shane Watson (to watch), Mike Hussey/Brett Lee (the man)
Bangladesh: Tamim Iqbal (to watch). Not sure about the men in the BD team.
England: Ian Bell (to watch), Graeme Swann (the man)
India: Tendulkar (to watch) Tendulkar/Dravid/Laxman (the man)
New Zealand: Chris Martin batting (to watch), Ross Taylor (the man)
Pakistan: Shahid Afridi (to watch), Misbah (the man)
South Africa: Dale Steyn (to watch), AB de Villiers/Jacques Kallis (the man)
Sri Lanka: Sangakkara/Jayawardene/Malinga (to watch AND as men)
West Indies: Chris Gayle (to watch), Darren Sammy (the man)

come on guys, don't pick 2 or 3 guys for each time. Narrow it down to one. Makes it tougher.
