Today an accusation of negativity was levelled at the Sofa, and it occurred to me that in our unfettered criticism of what we don't like about the game and its players, we sometimes forget to mention what and whom we love in it.
So this is the first in a series of bloglets in which Sofa stalwarts tell us a little bit about their favourite international cricketer. The only rules I have laid down are that a) the person in question must currently be playing (or eligible to play) international cricket, and b) they can't blether on about them - the argument should be fewer than 100 words long.
First up is the Sofa's monkey in chief Ralphy, who has chosen Daniel Vettori, and here's why, in his words:
He's the most talented cricketer in the southern hemisphere bar none and wrings every inch out of his talent. Vettori gives hope to geeky looking chaps everywhere. He was New Zealand spectacle wearer of the year 2008. What's not to like? Jesse rider take note!
