10 hottest men in cricket

Don't judge please. I love this sport for what it is but these guys make it so much more fun to watch! And of course I had to do this; it's been delayed long enough. Let's start at the bottom -  oh and before I forget, Virat Kohli is an honorable mention.

10) Sangakkara - He may not be the best looking guy on the field but he's well educated (a law undergrad!) and he has that I-know-what-I'm-doing look on his face even when Lanka might be losing miserably. Also, he speaks so eloquently and he's always grammatically correct which is a huge plus. He's totally the guy you want to have when having heavy discussions about politics, government or anything generally intellectual. He’s the guy you want to take to dinner to meet the fam.

9) Stuart Broad - Let's get the negatives out of the way first. Broad is probably the biggest cry baby on the field. He whines, gets frustrated, turns bright red, throws tantrums and hurls the ball at the batsman when things are not going his way. But this is totally objective and I'm going to put aside his displays of poor sportsman ship. Have you ever noticed how he screws up his face and squints his eyes during the run up, just before he bowls? It's actually quite adorable. He would look precious in a Peter Pan costume too..I think it has something to do with his pinched, slightly upturned nose; he’s rather pixie-ish looking. Just saying. 

8) Hamish Bennett and Tim Southee –  Bennett; new kid on the New Zealand block.  He’s tall, broad with this awesome shade of chocolate brown hair and one of the best bodies in cricket. Plus, he’s just 23. He’s the guy you want to go on a road trip with; he’d look great in a pair of jeans.

Tim Southee; the pride of New Zealand . He’s also 20 something from what I remember, maybe even a teenager. He’s one of the best bowlers Zealand has to offer at the moment and he’s slowly showing more personality on the pitch. His rare bursts of aggression are rather appealing so watch out for those during the World Cup. He’s the guy you want to chill out with; he has a cool temperament. 

7) Wasim Akram – Even though he’s one of the older players, he looks too damn good for his age. Wasim Akram fills out a fitted shirt like no one else can; he’s got those awesome biceps and he’s not afraid to show ‘em! 

6) Younis Khan – Younis Khan has come into his own in recent times! He’s all tanned with those green eyes and the contagious smile. Also, those who haven’t seen him in a suit, should google that just now! He looks like a million bucks in those sharp, formal suits. He looks like a movie star really when he dresses up. 

5) Shane Watson – Watson is another example of one of the best bodies and best hair in cricket. He’s one of those guys when you find out are married, you think ‘Oh shit no!’  He’s like a bar of Twix: tall, golden and smooth.  He’s the guy you want to ogle at. 

4) Shahid Afridi – The recent hair cut Shahid Afridi’s been sporting has bumped him up slightly in my ratings. He’s always had the best hair in cricket, in my opinion. He’s one of those larger than life players; people love him even when he doesn’t score a damn thing and captains the team to failure after failure. He’s really photogenic too. You just can’t help but love the Lala! As long as you don't get him to talk, he's the guy you want to take you to a rock concert; I've always wanted to see him in a leather jacket.

3) James Anderson – Anderson is your typical pretty boy. What is it with most of these English players?! They’re so friggin pretty…they’re prettier than some of the girls I know.  He’s the guy you want to take to prom/dinner/shaadi etc. Okay, I just pictured him in a sherwani and now I’m tempted to promote him slightly…

2) Imran Khan – Imran Khan has what every girl wants in a guy: looks, height, personality and talent. 

1) Mitchell Jhonson – Anyone who knows me would’ve known Jhonson would be at the top of this list. I never thought I would say this about anyone but watching Jhonson run in slow mo, when they replay the ball bowled, is a treat for the eyes. Also, now he’s been promoted up in the batting order to no. 4; now the guy’s a triple threat! Jhonson’s body is perfect and he has those biceps that are ripped by just the right amount. Who cares if he gives too many runs? WHO CARES?! Anyone that gorgeous can give away as many runs as he wants! (as long he doesn’t bowl for Pakistan) He’s the guy you do everything you can to get to Sri Lanka for, holding the sign, “Jhonson, I want you. So bad"
