Sadly short test careers...

[morgieb]

South Africans - Barry Richards, Graeme and Peter Pollock, Mike Procter, Clive Rice, Eddie Barlow, Vincent van der Bjl, Garth Le Roux, Jimmy Cook, Ray Jenner etc. Brett Schultz from the 90s

Windies - Franklyn Stephenson, Sylvester Clarke, Collis King, Richard Austin, David Murray

Australia - Stuart MacGill, Archie Jackson, Stuart Clark, Andy Bichel, Brad Hodge, David Hussey, Stuart Law, Nathan Bracken, Di Venuto, Martin Love

I don't have much sympathy for those Windians tbh.

Ryan Harris. Reckon he would've been considered one of the greats if his career was anything normal.

 

[Hooksey]

Lack of any real pace apart from Saffers would mean Bevan would probably have been ok as well.

Bevan would have done okay against the Poms in the home series just gone. Would have been a better selection than smiling George.

Good call.

Mohammad Zahid arguably the fastest bowler ever

The fragile quicks: Dean Headley, Simon Jones, Shane Bond.

Headley's a good call.

That spell at Melbourne in '98 was mesmeric.

Bruce Reid could have been one of the greats if he hadn't broken in half so many times.

 

[fredfertang]

Someone has already mentioned Simon Jones, and I'll add his old man Jeff who, even if it isn't a particularly high bar, might have been England's best ever left arm quick

 

[Dan]

Jason Krejza, Dan Cullen, Michael Beer, Xavier Doherty, Cameron White, Beau Casson, Bryce McGain, Ashton Agar.

For opposing batsmen, that is

 

[Dan]

And Fred, surprised you haven't mentioned Larwood yet - probably #1 on my list of careers cut way too short.

 

[Hooksey]

David "Santa Claus" Steele.

 

[GotSpin]

Archie Jackson always wins these kinds of threads if you ask me.

 

[Jono]

Archie Jackson always wins these kinds of threads if you ask me.

Yeah great call.

 

[Hooksey]

Archie Jackson always wins these kinds of threads if you ask me.

Clubhouse leader.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Jesse Ryder - could've played 80 tests by now but has only played 18
