They say bad habits die hard but every person has some good habits too. For instance, West Indies player have a habit of knocking the bails hard so they dont come off, Wahab Riaz has a sily habit of following the players, Kamran Akmal had a habit of dropping catches.

So name any habit of cricketers that you like or dislike.
 
Shreesanth's disgraceful antics and his sheer disrespect of opposition players was so disgusting, it often drove me nuts.
 
I also dislike Virat Kohli's antics. He thinks he is above the law. He needs to take a chill pill sometimes.

Most pleasant character was Hashim Amla. His conducts (on and off the field) were excellent.
 
I like Jadeja's sword celebration whenever he achieves a milestone with his batting :heart:

Yeah that's cool. It's a bit off topic but I like Lewandowski's celeberation.

Hahha.. And Siraj's copy of CR7 is hilarious
 
I really enjoy watching Shamsi and Imran Tahir run around the park when they take a wicket, and Shamsi follows that up with a magic trick or telephone shoe skit. Some say it's a bit cringe, but it cracks me up every time and you can really see the enthusiasm.
 
I love Rohit Sharma's habit of throwing his wicket after getting set as it just leads to Indian collapse.
 
A former pacer who consistently says "If I had played under Imran Khan, I would have achieved this and ............"

Sehwag tweeting without thinking much.

Imran Tahir's celebration after taking a wicket.

Shakib frequently displaying signs of thinking he's bigger than Bang Cricket

Gulbadin Naib being very vocal about his hatred of PCT.

Hasan Ali losing focus when pressure is on.

Mohammad Sami bowling no balls at crucial stage of a match.

Mohammad Amir saying "Decided to bowl another outswinger to Kohli after the first two" thousand times probably.

Any Pakistani cricketer uttering the word cornered tiger after team doing poorly in world cup (legit boils my blood when the players start going back to 1992 final after their own failures)

Warne and Mcgrath consistently getting away with fines after arguments with umpires.

Hafeez looking indifferent after getting out.

Basit Ali, Sikandar Bakht etc mentioning Karachi k players ko moqa nai dete

hahhah..And Hafeez getting owned by Steyn
 
Worst habit of guys like Sharjeel and Azam Khan - claim to want to play for Pakistan but can’t follow even a simple diet plan for a few months
 
Inzamam used to irritate me during the presentations with repeated mention of the word 'the boys...the boys ...the boys.'

“boys played well” has become a legendary meme on Indian forums.

At least they couldn’t say anything about his batting!

Yes, quite a few jokes were made on it. Unfortunately it cannot be posted on this forum.
 
Mohammad Rizwan always looking for Babar when he knows the cameras are on him so that he can tap into his fan base by cosying up to him.
 
Rizwan overreaction after scoring useless fifty .
Dhawan trademark Thai celebration after taking any catches.
 
Pakistan clique players overestimating their actual importance in world cricket.

Pakistan getting smashed to smithereens by NZ and Australian batsmen in the warm ups of the cricket World Cup, and recently having a horror show against India and Sri Lanka in the Asia cup,

But Mohammad Rizwan coming up with cliché statements like: ‘our nation tells us ‘Tum jeeto ya haaro…’ ‘the results would have been different if Rauf, Shadab, Shaheen played’

They all play in the World Cup and Pakistan still gets smashed to smithereens
 
I missed following.

moin's comments behind the stumps.
Akthar 99 ,Pollock 96 run up.
Hit me hard kind of look on 2000's aussie team.
Peter Roebuck articles (Half of English words have to be searched in google/dictionary)
 
Bangladesh's nagin dance but I always enjoyed it whenever they were on the receiving end of it from Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
 
Allan Donald and his post-wicket celebrations were just beautiful, even when our players were on the receiving end of it (especially during the India tour of SA in 1996).

Not a fan of the recent trend of (failed attempts at) showman-like celebrations from most youngsters (I am looking at you Ravi Bishnoi & Shaheen shah Afridi), these days.
 
habit of being too friendly on the field. This is a professional sports and should be competitive. No need to pass smiles at each other when the situation is intence. try to intimidate the opposition instead of passing flowers. I am not saying that you should be physical but at least be like shoaib akhtar. LOL
 
Pakistani batsmen of 2010- present blocking or missing out on deliveries that any other batsman in the world would’ve absolutely smashed for a boundary.
 
Ambrose's violent reaction after wicket is priceless

Lara's jump i like.

My least favorite arm spread celebration by anybody.

Ambrose reaction was so animated, I really liked it.

I absolutely hate three things:
-Rizwans time wasting shenanigans during his batting
-Hassan Ali's generator celebration
-shahnawaz dahanis shenanigans and wild celebrations

Shahnawaz Dahani's celebration is too cringe so is kuldeep Yadav's.

Both of them need to learn something from Pat Cummins who can silence 🤫 a crowd of more than one lac capacity.
 
The recent phenomenon of Pakistani senior batsmen having an expert pitch reader in the team that tells them before the game that ‘it’s a 150’ pitch

We need to be aggressive.

Even guy like Kohli feigns to be aggressive on the field.
 
Dislike:

Rizwan’s fake injuries, Shadab over-acting in the field and trying to make the regulation look spectacular, Hassan Ali and Dahani’s celebrations, Kohli touching his nose before facing a ball but he has stopped doing that.

Also, Imran Tahir’s celebrations, Abdullah Shafique holding his pose.
 
Marnus being visibly in disbelief and hanging around every time he’s dismissed. Turn around and walk back to the sheds. You are not that guy.
 
I loved George Bailey smily face even in the toughest of situations. Was just a gem of a player for Australia.
 
Dislikes: Sreesanth's antics, SSA and Haris Rauf celebrations after picking wickets, Kohli uttering abuses
 
This heart celebration by Tymal Mills really annoys me. He is a fast bowler, he should show agression and anger, not this bakwas heart love stuff everytime he gets a wicket.

Ruman Raees' silent smile as a celebration sets the batter on fire.

Most decent way to annoy somone!

I may sound like a grumpy old man but I enjoyed cricket a lot more when there were no staged and pre rehearsed celebrations
 
Dahani's run after taking a wicket after years of getting smacked all over the park. He is really annoying and a show off
