Careers ruined by injuries

For Tests he was pedestrian well before then. His bowling in the 2001 Ashes series, for example. I know he took wickets in one inning but on the whole, had definitely lost some zip.

Nah, don't agree with that at all TBH. Bowled quite superbly - way better than anyone else did all series - in that Trent Bridge first-innings when he cleaned-out the Australian middle-order (though granted he benefited from catches being held where they'd been dropped, dropped and dropped some more in the opening couple). And above all he then put in a couple of superb displays the following summer, never more than when he took 7-not-that-many on a runway-esque deck at Old Trafford against Sri Lanka.

Tudor for me retained exactly the same capability in 2002 as he did when he knocked-over the Waughs in that exceedingly promising debut in 1998/99. But from 2003 onwards he'd lost it completely.

Colin Milburn is an obvious one.

Collie Smith from Jamaica who died. Like Archie Jackson, Sir Gary Sobers seems to think he would have been a great.

That's why I mentioned him 5 posts before yours.

Yeah, but I thought of it first
