JASON seriously needs to watch one of those Chris Marting batting tips video that's posted on Youtube. Bloody hilarious that.

Is Murali the worst Number 11 in History ?

I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Makes you wonder then, who was the best Number 11 in history?
neville cardus
International Debutant
Bingo!
Weren't all Yorkshire spin bowlers? He batted right-handed, though.and I would imagine left hander
neville cardus
International Debutant
He is known in all the literature that I have read as Ikey, but I see that CricketArchive, Cricinfo and Wikipedia all refer to him as Isaac (which, I assure you, has more to do with a lack of research on their part than any error on that of yours truly).Considering you're the only one who calls him that on the entire Internet it's not entirely surprising that no one recognised the name.

I have amended the Wikipedia article.

From memory and I am thinking about 1953 or it might be 1956 one Ray Lindwall batted 11 for Australia

He'd be a good shout then, has a couple of test tons, doesn't he? I'm currently reading My Spin on Cricket by Richie & he's very complimentary about Lindwall's batting; say's he's worthy of consideration as an all-rounder.

he was a goal kicker, I think he missed one from the sideline that cost St. George a grand final.
Hope I am right about the batting 11

I believe he batted everywhere outside the Top 3.

Have to shamefully admit to not knowing that, despite calling myself a St George fan.

Archie, I thought you had read and reviewed A.W. Pullin's Talks With Old English Cricketers? Could have sworn he was mentioned in that.Drawing a blank mate

Wilf Rhodes wouldnt be a bad guess. Opened for England and batted every other position as well from 3-11.
Averaged over 40 at #11 in Test cricket.

Yeah, Archie! What he said!

Eilleen Grimshaw is the worst at Number 11, but then again anyone after Elsie Tanner was destined to be left in her shadow.
He is the one .

Except he isn't. Not by a long shot. Ask Michael Vaughan. Andrew Strauss must have a fair shout for worst ODI bowler ever, though. Cricinfo couldn't even work out how to describe it.
