Eye candy from Cricket World Cup 2015
It pays to be a cricket-loving girl during the World Cup. Not only do you get to see some close matches – between “minnows” these days – but you can ogle at them hot-bod cricketers without your parents or partner looking at you like you’re ready to be committed to the crazy house.
Unfortunately, since the World Cup is being held in Australia and New Zealand, one needs to choose between gawking at aforementioned hot-bods and gawking at the pile of your untouched work. Of course, watching highlights is not an option either because your mom needs to watch next-gen Balika Vadhu.
Fret not, for I’ve taken the trouble of sifting through the hottest playing XI, substitutes, staff, et al of the teams in the current tournament. Here’s a comprehensive list of all the smoky goodness in the gentleman’s game this time round, in no particular order:
Mitchell Starc:
Way too many Mitches in this team. Them piercing eyes makes you almost forget how his eyebrow game is spot on
Virat Kohli:
Added for his popularity with most women, not a personal checkbox though. He’s suave and has style and is a hit with female cricketers too!
Shahid Afridi:
Eternal cricketing heartthrob. Boom boom, the youngster!
Steven Finn:
Personal hot favourite for this cup (too bad England’s on a flight home now). Dude’s got cheekbones and hair game going for him. Dayum, son.
Shapoor Zadran:
Not your typical ladyboner, Zadran’s wavy locks and heroics on field have turned him into the heartthrob of the cricketing world. Get him to IPL and get him some modelling contracts soon!
Shikhar Dhawan:
Yet again, not your typical hot guy, his moustache twirling, thigh slapping, boisterous Punjabi act has made a slave of international cricket fans
Max Sorensen:
Scruffy dude, born in Johannesburg but now represents Ireland. Looks dapper in green, no doubt about it.
Brendan McCullum:
When you see those shoulders, you know why Kiwi cricket is carried on them
Dale Steyn:
Hot stuff that you’d probably get mildly intimidated by… and enjoy it!
Chris Gayle:
Dude’s the Dan Bilzerian of the cricketing world
Mitchell Johnson:
Hot without facial fuzz, hot with it. Aggressive on field with a killer smile off it.
Richie Berrington:
I admit I don’t know much about the guy. I looked at his mugshot and Googled him. Holy smokeballs, the dude’s gone from being a gawky youngster to a Scottish hottie.
Morne Morkel:
Albie’s cuter brother, Saffer pacer, dude with boy-band good looks
Daniel Vettori:
Like AltCricket said, dude should’ve been cast in 50 Shades of Grey
Kumar Sangakkara:
Very little the man can not do, including look mediocre
Andrew Balbirnie:
Former under-19 Irish captain and currently with the WC squad for the team, the scruffy bearded dude is quite an eyeful on the field.
Pat Cummins:
The only problem with Pat Cummins (for most of us) is that he’s barely legal at 21. At least in India. Look at him!
Special mentions: Alastair Cook, Brett Lee, you guys are missed <3
