inzammul huq was a bit of a lard arsed disaster waiting to happen but timed the ball sweeter than any pakistani of his generation. ian botham always had a problem with his belly and so did mike gatting. there are so many jokes about gatting pocketing an extra ham sandwich in his trouser pocket and munching on it on the way down from pavillian after lunch. robert key of kent, who played a handful of test matches for england was a terrific county performer. his chubby cheeks had many an admirer! in the modern game where fielding is thought to be so important, makes it a little difficult for the fat men to play cricket at a high level unless they are truly special. i am sure that a fat lara, tendulkar or richards would still have been accepted by their teammates.
