Cricketers that never added much to there team

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Sutcliffe, Donnelly, Reid and Cowie. Add Dempster too I suppose.

Fun Bert Sutcliffe stat: he didn't play in a single win over 18 years.

Giff Vivian, Bob Blair, Graham Dowling, Dick Motz, Bev Congdon, Bruce Taylor, Frank Cameron, Richard Collinge.

I reckon you've got your date range out by about 10 years. Some decent players debuted in the early/mid-60s.

Walter Hadlee wasn't that good a player but he certainly contributed a lot.

Some very good players debuted in 1969:
Turner obviously, but also Dayle Hadlee, Hedley Howarth, and Ken Wadsworth. The latter could've been a great keeper-batsman but tragically died of melanoma aged just 29.

Who is the best player to not add anything to their team? Probably someone from the WI or AU golden eras that barely got a run. Jaques etc

Speaking of WI, Devon Smith played 43 tests and averaged only 23.That's horrific for an opening bat,shame on the selectors for flogging a dead horse.

A South African who never got to play internationals? Vince van der Bijl?

pretty sure australia has been ranked #1 with a couple of "just ins" (justins) like harris and wade in the 11.

We had a very awkward moment under Vettori where we had Vettori, Taylor, Ryder, McCullum (wk) and then a collapse into like James Franklin. Chris Martin and Iain O'Brien were the only players you could call a middle ground.

If Matty Wade was from NZ he'd have played 100 Tests and you'd be putting him in ATG teams

Righto. Matthew Wade ahead of BJ Watling. You're dreaming.

If Watling was Aussie he'd be a discount Tim Paine struggling to make a state side

The exposure and opportunity he got playing for NZ is what allowed him to achieve what he did statistically

Codswallop. If we want to come up with spurious and speculative bullshit, then Wade's failures against the moving ball would have seen him fail spectacularly in NZ First Class.

he's got the batting average of a 50s kiwi for sure.

I've hooked the wrong fish here

Wouldn't have coped with early season club stuff.

Daily Reminder.

Daily reminder that Watling > Wade.
