Mohammad Ashraful's the obvious one. James Marshall also played 7 more tests than he should have.

Tbh, didn't notice the sig til you mentioned it mate. If it's a link to anything as ****house as these threads, then I'll pass.

Is that counting merged threads as threads? And including the deleted one(s) ?

At least this isn't a copy of previous threads which are still on the first page of the forum.

Doesn't appear to be a blatent copy of a thread from Planetcricket either. Weird.

Amjad Khan. Should never have played a Test match, still struggling to work out the logic behind his selection. Steve Harmison also played far too many Test matches.

 

[Richard]

There's hundreds of players who you could say played international cricket and blatantly shouldn't have, from Fred Tate to Amjad Khan. Players who played loads when they should've only played a bit (ie, those who were consistently preferred to better-qualified candidates) are relatively rare and thus it is, perhaps rather unexpectedly, a vaguely interesting discussion point.

Harmison is of course a good example; Voges is not. Voges if anything should've played more ODIs than he has.

Ian Harvey? I think he deserved to play as many games as he did. He probably doesn't have the best stats, but I can't think of too many bowlers who bowled as well as he can in the last 10 overs of an innings.

 

[Richard]

TBH, I can barely remember Harvey bowling a particularly outstanding death spell in a ODI. Certainly he could be a fantastic death bowler and I saw him be such a thing many times for Gloucs (don't doubt he was for Vic as well) but he rarely did such a thing at ODI level in my experience.

Certainly not a ODI-standard bowler.

Michael Atherton.

Serious now. Imran Farhat 33 matches.

I've never liked him, he is bad in the field and looks very ordinary at the crease.

 

[Raghav]

Mark Richardson 4 ODI's

never should have debuted in ODI's...
