Xuhaib
International Coach
Yeah I know its a pretty random thread but was going through his profile page on cricinfo and he retired just 18 month before the World Cup. Sure he was approaching 40 but
1.He was still bowling well possible the only one of the 4 marquee all rounders of the 80's who was still bowling close to his peak ere took 35 @ 23 in his final year of test cricket.
2. The odi's of that time there were 2 new ball employed from end end surely you would like to use the services of one of the best new ball bowler ever in a big event like World Cup.
3. It was a home World cup which should have been a motivation enough and unlike Richards who retired around the same time Hadlee had never tasted World Cup success
4. When Deepak Patel is your new ball bowler surely you could find a space for Sir Richard Hadlee in the side.
