5 England players hated by the Australians

Geoffrey Boycott

Geoffrey Boycott was a universal foe. Unliked by his teammates, he was also the public enemy number one in Australia.

From the time he walked out to bat in his first Ashes Test until the day he hung up his boots, Boycott was considered irrelevant for being self-centered in his quest for runs.

The Yorkshireman scored 8114 Test runs and 22 Test centuries but due to his defensive approach, he would end up annoying his own team and opposition alike.

The Yorkie batsman was devoted to the art of boring batting and occupying the crease was everything to him. After his retirement, Boycott became a commentator and he was often outspoken and controversial with his comments on both radio and television.
