He was lucky Misbah had a brainfart.

Out of those listed only Stephenson and Rice are any good.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Since he grew that belly out, he lost interest in the game

Ben Cutting should be on everyone's list

Ben Cutting should be on everyone's list

No, he really shouldn't.

Ryan McLaren got a decent run for South Africa in ODIs, but I do think he could have played more than two tests four years apart.

Ben Stokes

Ben Cutting should be on everyone's list

Ben Cutting played only a few matches. Batting and bowling are not up to mark. He shouldn't in everyone's list.

 

[slippy888]

Jos Buttler not given a fair go at test match level, if England selectors dont wake up and see how good this guy is he gonna go down a wasted talent not to play enough 5 day cricket.

Poor Ben, attracting some Cutting remarks here

Laxmi Shukla could have been a superstar if given a fair chance

 

[cpr]

MS Dhoni. Never really given the chance to shine with the ball. Genuinely could've been a OD bowler......

With respect, Bairstow scores more runs and gets the job done behind the sticks. Now there is Foakes on the rise. So imo Buttler would only be competing with the oft maligned likes of Malan, Stoneman and Vince, with many English fans wondering why EWCB doesn't have another Cook or Root to pick instead.

Whereas now Buttler is free to be a much loved and admired limited overs talent the world over, with noone criticising his red ball game.

Shakib Al Hasan in tests.

Despite a 11 year career now where he is still going strong, he has been denied the opportunity to ever chase down the records of Botham, Sobers, Khan, Dev et al.

He has just played 17 away with 34 at home tests, and never in Australia. Yeah I get he missed an away test tour to SA voluntarily at the end of last year, but that was only two tests.

Shakib has the lalent to be an ATG of the game, but through lack of Bangladesh getting appropriate numbers of test matches, he will just be fondly remembered by real cricket fans, and not a househould name in the longevity.

Even his current dearth of test matches has some people believing Ben Stokes is unparalleled as an all rounder today, when I think Shakib has him with both bat and ball in tests, home and away, clearly has Stokes with ball in odi where the batting is tight but Stokes has SR advantage, and Shakib probably triumps both facets again in t20.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Also on current players, when will Krunal Pandya get a shot in the Indian limited overs teams, let alone a First Class cricket team?

 

[Borges]

Krunal Pandya's career has been set back by injury; surgery followed by a fairly long period of rehabilitation.

That's a pretty big mis-step though. All the bemoaning in the world of his limited opportunities rings pretty hollow when he just decided not to bother playing possibly the toughest away tour Bangladesh have. Wipes away any credit he had with that one action IMO
