Who's your fav player of all time and why? I like Palmer cos he has won lots of important titles, is Australian, and plays a fantastic power/touch game. I got him an interview in my fav magazine- alpha.

Of all time? Don't really have one... I've only seen mostly Canadian pros recently... and are they ever sad  Can't say much about the past champions. Jansher is probably my favourite but I haven't seen most of the other notables.
I really like Palmer, Ricketts, and Lincou... Shabana, too. Gaultier, Hindi, Anjema, Selby, Razik, Phillips, Delierre, Guiffre, Clarke, White... don't like those players much at all. They're all good but they are all lacking and make up for it in undesireable ways.
Boswell is a nice player. Willstrop... he's got problems, not a fan. Kneipp was cool. Ryding? Mostly good too-sometimes, not so good. Ramy Ashour... very good but I predict many injuries from the way he plays. Eyles was great.
There's so many good players....
Peter Guldenhuys was a better player than Shahier Razik but he gave it up for school...beat Razik 27-3!!!!!!

Yeah, anjemas a rocking player... Wilstrop... seems to lack smoothness and has an iffy technique, seems to break down sometimes but whatever, he's ranked like top 4 so it works!
Yasser el halaby is really great to watch...
Also don't like Galvez.
So many great players though...

Watching Shabana is like watching Mark Waugh in cricket or Michael Jordan do basketball.. it's just so smooth, they glide around and perfect examples of technique. But ramy is easily more exciting to watch with his low percentage playing, always going for winners just because he knows even if he misses, which he rarely does his movement is so good he'll be able to stay in the rally. Willstrop is a bit shaky but I love watching him send players the wrong way.

Beng Hee was also good to see... saw a video of him play White, damn good squash by Beng Hee. Forgot about Bianchetti! Love watching that guy play! Golan to from the short clips I've seen.

Beng Hee when he was a junior and liked to lob and drop, same for Abbas. Why are coaches afraid to coach the best style and smartest style of squash ie. Drop, lob game.

Also not fan of White... the guy plays like 'hacker' style squash... only at a 'world class level'. Its productive... but is that all he can do...?

Who cares how White plays? It's dramatic and fun to watch.

White shouldn't hit the ball hard anymore. He should only play a finesse game from now on. ONly nice, soft drops, lobs and slow-medium pace drives.

I think he would lose more matches then. He only wins cos ppl can't handle his fantastic pace.
