Cricket's Moustache XI

#10 Merv Hughes

Hughes’ moustache complimented the gaze he used to hand the batsmen

If cricketers were to be in a biking extravaganza, Merv Hughes would have been the bad boy riding his fat Harley and tormenting the fellow riders.

A large-hearted fast bowler, Merv Hughes always found himself in the thick of the action be it either for good or bad. He was the darling of the Australian crowds. A rather imposing diagonal run up and that follow up with the most deadly gaze that sent chills down the spine of most batsmen. Known to his teammates as a man of mischievous humor and an absolute master at sledging, the oversized handlebar was the most remarkable feature of the hefty Victorian.
