To truly be hated you need to have ‘special’ personal qualities on top of that.

As an Australian I would like to nominate Ponting. He has an outstanding win/loss record in spite of the moronic decisions he makes on field, he consistantly tries to claim grassed/non catches (either by himself or a teammate) and he has the audacity to claim he is 100% right even when video evidence claims the contrary.

You can hate him for scoring plenty of runs too.

Our hatred is doing good in the nets but when it matters we lack the line and the length. These fellows are doing really well and our hatred is being wasted. What about refocusing our hatred towards somebody that is already down or likely to be? I know it sounds cheap, but that is the beauty of it. In the short term, the revenues of such move would be higher as we will be able to argue that it was our hatred that managed to bring the selected individual down.
I’d like to suggest we consider Sir Allen Stanford, which seems like a sure win nowadays.
(Note to lawyers in general and those working for Sir Allen Stanford in particular – I mean hatred just in the most respectful sense)

I suggest you wait for Johnson to develop the ball that comes back into the right-hander. Then you’ll have no reason not to hate. Till then, hold it back a bit.
