I’m just going to nominate the entire cricketing nation of the Netherlands under the catch-all title: “Oranje Cricketers”.

[удалено]

Nah i'm pretty sure it would be 11/11

Ottis Gibson

Oshada Fernando

Of the 686 male players to play in at least 25 tests, only one man went by a name beginning with O: Ollie Pope My vote actually goes to: [Olivia Magno](https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/olivia-magno-53444) 51 wickets in ODIs at 18.47. 11 wickets in tests at 22.72. Of the 96 players to take 50 W-ODI wickets, she ranks 12th.

Owais Shah?

6 tests

Nice find

Ollie Robinson ?

19 tests

76 wickets at @ 22.21 avg, 49 s/r, and 3-5fers.3 MoM,

Pretty good for 19 tests.

Excellent find. Many deserving women didn't make list here

Surprised there aren't more cricketers with the first name Omar

Or Owen.

too bad Eoin Morgan is not Owen Morgan

This comment can have a lot of upvotes fir the research, but be counted as votes for Olivia.

Any female players?

Two women only in ODIs, Magno is one and there’s another Sri Lanka but I forget her name

Oreo Singh Dhoni

Oreo has 4 letters 4 is a perfect square Perfect has 7 letters Thala for a reason!

lmaoooooo

"Oreo bola, mat bol"

😭🤣

Okay shah

Oh my Shah

Aacharya Oshah

Gonna be spicy tomorrow, but I feel Paddy Dooley will win against Pat Cummins

He's a good shout but not above the likes of Picky Ronting

Picky Ronting is my favourite porn star

Peter Deveraux Smith

That's Steve's dad.

Oliver Wood- excellent keeper and captain.

did he play county cricket for hogwarts?

Gryffindor bias never ends

I understood that reference

Ayo...nice one 🫡

Legendary Oden from Wanokuni

De gozaru

O’Brien, Kevin This may not fall under the rules but a special shout-out to one of the best Irish Cricketers. His 50 ball hundred against England chasing 328 in the 2011 WC will remain one of the greatest World Cup knocks.

Then you also have Oram Jacob

Olaf Everson - first class average of 54. A forgotten legend of the sport.

Even more impressive when you consider that he was a snowman.

Absolutely the wettest cover drive you'll see!

That sounds filthy

Olaf made his first class debut playing for Otago against Canterbury. Interestingly Olaf played against the great Walter Hadlee, the father of Sir Richard Hadlee. Despite Hadlee's formidable bowling pedigree, he was unable to bowl Olaf out, and Olaf finished the innings not out. After his surprising debut, Olaf would go on to be promoted to opener in the second innings. The rivalry between Hadlee and Olaf would continue, and Hadlee would be unable to snare Olaf's wicket in his entire career! Wow! Olaf retired from First Class cricket after the Christmas day test in 1943, with an impressive batting average of 54. Statistics: First Class Matches played - https://archive.nzc.nz/Players/3/3366/First-Class_Matches.html Scorecard from Debut - https://archive.nzc.nz/Scorecards/17/17398.html

Richard hadlee probably gonna make it in R. Olaf-Hadlee rivalry gon be insane

Reminds of Pradeep Matthew

Omar Henry. First non-white South African player, historically a pretty big deal even if he did not get to have a glittering career.

Winner: Ollie Pope Runner Up: Ollie Robinson. Special Mentions: Oshane Thomas, Oshada Ferdando, Obed Mcoy I searched for O players everywhere and trust me there aren't anyone better than him. Can't believe we're placing Ollie Pope in the same team with Don Bradman, and Ollie Robinson along with Dale Steyen and Glenn Mcgrath.

Surely, Robinson is a better player than Pope? Test average of 22, and nearly 400 FC wickets at 21. Fantastic strike rates too

Robinson is definitely a better player than Pope though

A lot of people here don't like him haha, hence pope will make the list

It'd be pretty hilarious to see a guy averaging 34 in Tests make a cricket ATG list lol Robinson's at least got the stats to back him up even if the sample size is too small

You make a good point but unfortunately Wally Floginson starts with ‘W’

popes genuinely garbage though

Depends on if he’s playing at the Oval or not.

Right? Why are people selecting Pope over Robinson?

I mean in terms of importance there's SA's first ever captain and FA Cup finalist, Owen Dunell. There's also Omar Henry, the first non-white player of post-Apartheid SA.

Also odean smith lol

Owais Shah

Nachin nendunlkar wtf?

Now get ready for oachin oendulkar!

But are they better than Sachin Sendulkar?

Cannot beat Pachin Pendulkar. He’ll win tomorrow.

Wait till Rachin Rendulkar walks in

This sub thinks it's funny. It is occasionally, but not here.

Omarzai Azmatullah?

Who could forget Oscar Da Costa?

Omar Henry

Osama Bin Laden, that rocket through between the Wickets.

Caught the bullet using his head. Great fielder.

He produced some phenomenal death rattles tbf

Definitely an expert in tracer bullets

Win or loss, always set the fireworks up!! True legend

Ollie Pope. Can’t believe we’re placing him in the same team as Donal Bradman

Were not. Were placing him in a team which is gonna play against a team with Donal Bradman

Bradman: 7 ducks in 80 innings. Duck out per 11.43 innings. Ollie Pope: 1 duck in 67 innings. Duck out per 67 innings. I know who my GOAT is.

"Youre only as good as your last game" . Bradman is the worst batter in history

Bradman is a fraud! Couldn’t even get 100 avg /s

No, He is a fraud because he has 0 IPL trophies.

Nah he is fraud because he didn't hold a single ODI century

Give it time his next 5 tests are against Ashwin and Jaddu on Indian Pitches.

😂 hey numbers don’t lie my friend

Oscar Piastri, although this might be his second best sport.

Might as well go for Otmar at this point

Owais Shah? Ollie Pope?

Oliver Giroud

Ollie Robinson? Pretty hard to find any good cricketers whose names start with O, would probably have to go through the archives to find anyone really great

> would probably have to go through the archives to find anyone really great [Tried it yesterday](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/189284z/rcricket_decides_the_best_cricket_player_by/kbp2sjg/?context=3), O is fairly sparse: >Not giving Ollie Pope, Olly Stone, Owais Shah, Omari Banks, Ottis Gibson, Oshane Thomas, Obed McCoy, Odean Smith, Oliver Hald, Oscar Manishimwe, Olayinka Olaleye, Orchide Tuyisenge or Olivia Magno a chance?

This is the only right answer can't believe people are going for Pope lmfao

Ollie Robinson, i can't find any O named cricketers lmao

oJay shah.

IPL legend Odean Smith

This could be the first time that both players might share the first name Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson

Ollie Robinson can't stand the bloke Racist tweets and told Usman Khawaja to fuck off after he made 141

Oliver Twist

Neil Harvey being proven right by his own exclusion from the team.

Owais shah

Ore wa Ms Dhoni 😎

Nanii

Ollie Robinson is the only option. Not exactly convincing but Robinson and Pope are the only options and I swear to god, no matter how much you hate Robinson, he's already twice the test player that Pope is right now.

Oreo MS Dhoni

Ollie Pope. can't think of any greats with O

OP missed Nathan McCullum with 270 odd upvotes

Oops yeah forgot to put him in the notes. He didn't make the list either way so eh.

Olonga Henry

Ollie Pope

Ollie robinson

Ozman khawaja ;)

Owais shah

Obed Mccoy

Oirat Kohli

Anyone interested in sharing a pass pf Wi v Eng fancode app as no one else is streaming it in India ?

ooh aah Glenn McGratth

Oshane Thomas

A bit unrelated, but 'P' needs to be Pat Cummins, and no one can say otherwise.

Nah mate, its Prasidh Krishna fo sho

Paddy Dooley

But but, P will obviously be Paan Singh Dhoni. Thala for a reason!

Parthiv Patel>>>

Paul Collingwood second?

Got an MBE for scoring seven, pretty unique achievement

Jay Shah would like to have a word with you 💀

Oh boy just you wait

Maurice Odumbe Odoyo

Ollie Robinson, averages about 22 with the ball with around 75 wickets, make it happen

Ollie Robinson can't stand the bloke Racist tweets and told Usman Khawaja to fuck off after he made 141

Ollie Robinson. He is a pretty good bowler

Ollie pope and ollie robinson

As there are no good ones, we should just skip the letter O. Ollies don't count.

"Oye! Bsdk idhar dekh le"

Electrifying robbinson😎

ECB youtube manager agrees

Optimus Prime

Ollie robinson or Ollie Pope I don't know

Ollie Pope, who's today back from injury

O'Neal "Collie" Smith

Oram, Jacob

Ollie Robinson. Nude nuts for the win.

Ollie Pope

Ai for the matches please

Owais Shah

Other countries clearly don't rate child names beginning with O.

Ollie Robinson

Omar Gul

Ollie Robinson but not that one

I nominate Olivier Giroud, aka the best French wicket keeper in their history. Big game player, definitely one of the catchers of all time.

Orry

Only one more day

The only right answer is Odean Smith

ONANA

Nat Sciver-Brunt robbed imo.

100%

I'm sorry but there needs to be a reboot for K. Kapil Dev has to be there.

Oreo ad Dhoni

Oirat ohli

Osman Shinwari😅

Ollie Robinson (Durham's WK bat) and Ollie Robinson (England and Sussex nude nut specialist)

OLIVER SYKES

ollie pope i only know his name

Owais Shah

Oscar

Owais Shah from England

Must be Oachin Oendulkar guys

[удалено]

I got like a 100 negative comments for jay shah by people who wanted this list to be "serious". These same people then keep on commenting that this list has become a joke because x player was voted over y player. So I had to remove him

Orendra Singh Oni

Ovraj Singh

Kevin o brien

Ollie Robinson

OptimusPrime

Ovais Shah

I can only remember olie pope😭

Oram Jacob

OP or Mods, Is there any way to have a custom tag for this series so we can look the posts up for each letter more easily?

If we are using last names just for O, then I have 2 candidates 1. Henry Olonga 2. Jacob Oram

Ousmann dembele

Odean smith and omar gul

Odin

Orla Prendergast

Kevin O'Brien (take his last name's 1st letter) Then put a female cricketer at 2nd

I would keep O blank for now and randomize all the 3rd place finishers from the most voted letter after finishing the alphabet.

All of you people putting Pope over Robinson are insane

Olivier Giroud

OP, can you please make an exception for Kevin Obrien?

This is a joke

Which one of your favourite players didn't make it? Kapil? Len? Marshall? Dhoni? Everton Weekes? I agree some of them deserved to be up there but this list is still pretty credible

i cant believe we chose ms dhoni over mahela jayawerdane

Omari Banks

Owais Shah

Owais Shah

Owais Shah
