I knew that, I just said he should've played more than 1 test.He wasn't dropped, he only played that Test at all because Stephen Waugh was injured. Had Waugh played that game, Law would've been the same as Cox - a no-Test wonder.
In any case, with Greg Blewetts, Justin Langers, Darren Lehmanns, Ricky Pontings, etc. around, there were always going to be some people who didn't get the chance.

Nearly killed Gooch in 1990 and thereby pretty much turned the series for the Windies. Looked a good bowler, I hadn't seen any of him before that. His uncle Oswald was also handy but never looked right in a white shirtEzra Moseley - without the back injury and the ban might have done great things
So why say "great work to drop him" then?I knew that
Wasn't aware a broken hand was life-threatening TBH. And even Ezra wasn't quite powerful enough to make it rain and thus turn an easy run-chase for England into a very difficult one which ended-up just out of reach. I really hate that Test, even though it was long before I started watching cricket. But for that rain England'd have been 2-0 up with 2 to play.Nearly killed Gooch in 1990 and thereby pretty much turned the series for the Windies.

Pardon me if am wrong, but isnt that the guy who was regarded as a possible competitor to the Don, if not for the disease that took him away at 21?Archie Jackson
Agreed.Mark Higgs.
My mistake - I was mixing up 2 Gooch hand injuries within the space of a year. I knew that Ezra broke his hand but thought it led to blood poisoning.Wasn't aware a broken hand was life-threatening TBH.
