What generic roles cricketers would play in TV & Films

Ross Taylor and Jesse Ryder are the stoner comedy duo, Ross the more serious one who loves the weed, and Jesse the simple understated genius who can’t get enough.

JP Duminy is the gangsta with heart in the bad boy gang.

MS Gony is the man you trust in a Zombie film, strong shoulders, but a touch of sadness in his eyes.

Bryce McGain is the caring best friend who the leading lady ignores.

Jacob Oram and Chris Martin, Jacob is the good looking man you trust in the rom/com, Chris is the more dubious one, Jacob fucks you over, Chris comes through in the end.

Monty is the comic relief friend, who just isn’t very funny.

Simon Jones the guy in the diet coke ad doing construction.

Dirk Nannes an Aryan prisoner who you don’t want to mess with in the yard. 

Albie Morkel would be a doctor in a surreal medical show.

Ishant Sharma would be the nerdy guy in the teen flick that thinks he is cool.

Shoaib Malik would be the chess club leader in a gritty indie teen film before losing the job to a rebel with a higher IQ and more street cred.

Shoaib Ahktar would be the cool clubber, at the start of the film, but by the end has shown himself to be a bit of a loser.

The Bangladesh team could star in a coming of age drama were they all grow up together and most end up as losers, but one is a writer (Mehrab Hossain Jnr).

Mike Hussey starts as an oppressed office worker who is tightly wound, eventually he cracks and starts killing people.

Andre Nel is a South African Patrick Batemen/Dexter, a serial killer with a sense of humour.

VVS is disappointed dad whose daughter gets pregnant at 15.

Neil McKenzie is the quirky teacher who tries to bring the kids together, but has problems of his own.

Brendon McCullum is the leader of a rival gang, who is perhaps a little to camp to be a real gang leader.

Jacques Kallis is the dad in a sit com with an implausibly hot wife.

    But by the end of the film his part turns out to be a red herring, and doesn’t even feature in the climax.

    Brett Lee is the annoying good looking guy who’s had everything go his way in life who is eventually exposed as a fraud at the end of the movie when his wife leaves him, he loses his job and his life generally goes to shit leaving the audience feeling all warm and fuzzy.
