All time worst Australian one day team

NUFAN

Y no Afghanistan flag
Lance Hamilton, James Marshall, Warren Wisneski, Carl Bulfin, Matthew Bell, Robert Kennedy were all worse players IMO, and thats just from our side of the pond.
When you hear some names they just sound like they'd be dire. Warren Wisneski is one of them!

haha not at all - it's straight from his Cricinfo page. Who was uglier - Wazza Wisneski or Simon Doull?

What is his natural position? This is his breakdown by batting position. I thought he opened for SA but since its the worst team of all time I used a poetic license and put him in the middle order. In 9 games opening he didn't do too well anyway.

Opening 9 9 0 188 53 46 36 20.88 0 1 0
3rd position 3 3 0 20 15 4 1 6.66 0 0 0
4th position 4 4 2 109 57* 40 12* 54.50 0 1 1
5th position 4 4 0 54 28 14 12 13.50 0 0 1
6th position 7 7 1 101 33 33 18* 16.83 0 0 1
7th position 3 3 0 79 32 29 18 26.33 0 0 0

Last night the test between England and Sri lanka got washed out and they had on a replay of that ODI where England got 321 and Sri Lanka got them 2 down in 37 overs.

It was the funniest game of cricket I've ever seen, tbh Was just great to see Jayasuriya and Tharanga bomb away and to see England hopes so thoroughly and miserably destroyed with such ease.

I nominate that England attack as the bowling side for the worst England ODI team.

Seriously, if you get mowed down with 13 overs (13!!!!) to spare with 320 on the board, you're just meh.

Yeah I meant opening. 9 innings is a pretty small sample to judge a player on, especially against the new ball.

Bresnan (fortunately) didn't play enough games to qualify for these qualifications but was certainly one of the worst selections ever. Kabir Ali and Mahmood would certainly be up there, and Harmison on the bad days (which were in the majority) certainly, but the odd thing about Harmison was that he had the odd few good times, most notably the summer of 2004. So ITE it'd be difficult to select him ahead of one or two others who've bowled in recent times.

Haha yeah, whats with the Wisneski bashing? He's no Chuck Norris, but he looks fairly normal..
Seriously - gotta see him with the goataaaaaaay. He looks like he would be more at home in a black Megadeth t-shirt, skintight jeans and knocking back a premix of Jack Daniels and Coke.

Is your team based on ability, performance or stats?
All three

Yeah I wouldn't have him anywhere near the list myself
Any suggestions for a replacement. Actually I was hoping when I started this thread someone might come up with an alternative team.
