Remembering the flashes in the pan

[Tom Flint]

Ben foakes

 

[TT Boy]

Adrian Barath.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Simon Harmer

 

[Bijed]

IIRC Kirk Edwards had a pretty impressive start to his career (as in first few tests) but starting with his 2012 tour of England pretty never much scored a run again

 

[wpdavid]

Richard Ellison, of course.

 

[mr_mister]

Krejza lol

Gets the honor of averaging over 6 wickets a test while getting them at 43 a piece

 

[Pothas]

Adrian Barath.

Remember him and Umar Akmal both making hundreds on debut at pretty much exactly the same time.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Chris Tremlett

 

[ataraxia]

Mathew Sinclair.

Did play internationals this decade.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Mohammad Ashraful

 

[Burgey]

Ravi Bopara a standout

 

[Spikey]

I don't think this thread should be about players who had one good match than nothing else.

 

[Grasshopper]

Hamish Rutherford

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Ben Cutting had a couple of seasons where he was one of the best domestic quicks in the country but was really pretty much crap either side of that.

I remember when people were saying he was a better prospect than Starc and Patt0, which just seems batshit insane in hindsight

Yeah bloody hell, he was close to debuting in 2011/12 in Brisbane instead of Starc or Patto. How weird that would have been.

Going back to that period of time too, the brief ODI career of Peter Forrest that lasted what, 6 months?

I remember when his batting looked really promising for a while too, not the hit two sixes then hole out to long on style he's shown the past 2-3 seasons

If only he could have fired on both cylinders at once

Throwing Ben Cutting up the order for pinch hitting ruined his inspirational vibe, the coaches are to blame.

 

[ankitj]

Narendra Hirwani certainly the most notable that I can think of.

Also that guy who debuted in same test as Lillee. Or was it a game or two ago?

I feel like he always notches at least one six every dig but never more than 2. I bet he has a huge percentage of dismissals between 10-30

He's like Afridi

So would Duminy count? Helped win us a Test series in Aus then basically did nothing for rest of his (unfortunately) long career.
