Most Punchable Faces XI
By Will 2 years ago, at the start of June Add your comment below
There’s a trend in our office of labelling a colleague, or more usually a stranger, as having a punchable face. It’s an odd but fun game, and you’d be amazed how often you end up agreeing on which faces you just want to hit. They can include your friends, too – they just happen to have a face you want to slap.
Inspired by this, but also Patrick’s comment that Graeme Smith’s mug is of a slappable leaning, a mate of mine presents a fine XI of Most Punchable Faces. Agree, pontificate, and deliberate among yourselves. I can’t claim to have had anything to do with this tomfoolery, however much I enjoyed reading it!
Matthew Hayden
Ian Bell
Graeme Smith
Sourav Ganguly
Ricky Ponting
Sreesanth
Kamran Akmal
Daniel Vettori
Andrew Symonds
Mohammad Asif
Fidel Edwards
The bowling is laughably light, which leads me to wonder whether all batsmen are endemically cocksure and most bowlers mad but sound. It’s a little tough on Fidel – owner of the best forename in cricket – and no place for Harbhajan Singh?

What a coincidence! The other day I was making a Give’EmAVirusXI myself:
Hayden
Gambhir
Graeme Smith
Katich
Bell
Yuvraj
Salim Malik (he’s only 57)
Matt Prior
Harbhajan
Anderson
Sreesanth
Yuvraj to open the bowling, forced to have a 15 yard run, just to see the pretender put in some hardwork.

I’d put
H Singh
Y Singh
Sreesanth
Broad
Harmison
Shoab Akhtar
Anderson
Michael Vaughn
Simon Jones
Parthiv Patel
possibly Shane Watson when he’s clutching his hamstring
see, some of us have some different tastes.

Andre Nel, H Singh and Sreesanth must be on any self respecting slappable face-list. The rest is debatable!

Firstly, isn’t slapping some1 a lil effeminate.Harbhajan-sreesanth row was called slapgate, it was actually punch gate.
Whackable faces,hmmm……….
I can’t pick 11 guyz so I picked a 16 man squad.
Hayden
Symonds
Clarke
Flintoff
Lee
Ponting
Ashraful(trust me on this 1)
McGrath
Nel
Broad(6,6,6,6,6,6)
Sreesanth
MacGill
Matt Prior
Gul
Hogg
Malcolm Speed(what the hell)
I think this team will get the most slaps.

I thought cricket was about being able to be friends with everyone, including ugly and punchable faces.
Does this instinctive urge to slap also holds true for a cricketer’s (read any human being’s) race, melanin content of his skin and all other traits that was inherited at birth?
There was an uproar in the cricket press when a player ’slapped’ another.
And now I read a leading cricket blog advocating a practise of labeling faces ‘punchable’ just because … and no other reason. And publishing a list of cricketers’ names who happens to have a face that he/she/they would love to slap.
There is a deeply hypocritical message in this article.

ASGill, what a pity. you havnt included the Punjabi prats in your lineup. How you can resist the urge to wipe the grins off the faces of a Yuvraj or a Bhajji is what, forgive the pun, beats me.

Raj Dutta:
Aren’t you a fellow “Punjabi prat” yourself??
I’m a bit suspicious of your identity, my friend.Are you really ‘Raj Dutta’??Is that really your name??
Hmmm………………
June 12th, 2008 at 12.37 am
What?? No Michael Clarke??
June 20th, 2008 at 9.54 am
I would have Ricky Ponting’s name jotted down first. Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh would follow.Symonds(would love to see him slapped).Shane Watson and Andre Nel would follow. And yeah someone said Malcom Speed.I would actually punch each and everyone associated with the ICC. Oh yeah I forgot. Micky Arthur would be right up there
