Very good call. When I read your post I thought "Christ, Id forgotten all about him"
and started to think and remember about some of his innings.

Was at the 'G' when he got his ODI hattrick. Good call.

Obviously a very determined player and well-respected guy having read his profile in Cricinfo. That's a nice claim to fame Prince.

His brother Charles, also obviously my relation, played in the first ever test match and scored 165 retired hurt - the first test century in the history of the game.
Clearly they aren't forgotten players though, so perhaps a different thread would be more appropriate for this discussion.

I had heard of Charles. That's some cricketing pedigree you've got there mateHis brother Charles, also obviously my relation, played in the first ever test match and scored 165 retired hurt - the first test century in the history of the game.

Haha, Scott Muller will never be forgotten. For someone who was so mediocre and played so few tests, he'll be remembered a great deal...

Unless it's a discussion about average cricketers who players for 12+ years, I don't see why he'd merit much mention.

...why? There are better OD batsmen in England.
Fairly certain he's doing that atm.

Shah has already had 3 chances in ODIs and has proven quite clearly not up to it.

Surely after his stupid comments about Shoaib no-one is ever going to forget him?

I often wonder what his rating would be if he'd never attempted a forlorn comeback and endeed his career with a ODI average of 18...
(Though that did owe quite a bit to Scotland and Bangladesh being classed ODI-teams)
Seriously, though, of all the New Zealanders to suffer injury-enforced career-ends, he has to be one of the most unlucky, along with his partner Nash, and his superior Doull, and his backer Cairns, and his successor O'Connor...

Which is still, despite the best efforts of Michael Slater, the highest percentage of a completed Test innings - the oldest Test record remaing.
