Most unceremonious exits from international cricket

[mr_mister]

Also, Brian Lara getting run out due to a mixup by someone who got done for match fixing soon after in the '07 WC was going out with a whimper

Manoj Prabhakar.

Most embarrassing end of career ever.

It’s clearly Geraint Jones. He’d never even got a duck and he went and got a pair as we returned the Ashes without so much as a fight

Nah. He finished international cricket by scoring 25 off 55 balls as PNG successfully chased down 262 in an ODI vs Hong Kong in 2014.

Suck it @cnerd123

Swann

 

[CricAddict]

Vinod Kambli. Once touted as even better than Tendulkar, but fell out of favor soon.

 

[subshakerz]

Swann

Yeah that was pathetic. Mid-way in an Ashes when his side is getting hammered.

Some of England's finest quicks went out with a a whimper due to being picked for a series when they were just that bit past it.
Bob Willis - 3 tests against WI in 1984 for combined figures of 6 for 367
Gus Fraser - 2 tests in Australia in 1998 for combined figures of 4 for 229
Darren Gough - 2 tests against SA in 2003 for combined figures of 1 for 215

Sir Geoffrey had a nondescript end. Nothing controversial and it wasn’t known to be his last Test. He made 18 and 6 in a tame draw. He then buggered off to South Africa for great wads of cash and got a three year ban, at the end of which he was 45.

 

[Xuhaib]

Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saeed Anwar

Last match was a rained off no result vs Zim at WC 03 as Pakistan ended their disaster campaign with a whimper.

Inzi's was also pretty bad in 2007.

Nah he had a bad game but the entire South African side full of legends all lined up to pay respects as he walked in to bat.

He was one of several legends who were done dirty by the WICB. Him and a few other being denied farewell tours has no doubt brought down some kind of curse of West Indian cricket.

Probably for the best as KP was vital to that series

Should have been Thorpe and KP. Not Bell and KP. But I understand why they did it.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

I feel like I am watching Themba Bavumas exit in real time

 

[TheJediBrah]

In hindsight it's obvious but at the time Bell was seen as a golden child and it was always down to Thorpe & KP

Also let's not forget that KP dropped his first 6 catches in Test cricket before taking one

Chanders had a pretty lousy exit despite being the best batsman available

 

[Immenso]

I was watching the Astle double hundred test in youtube once, it was Parore's last test, announced. The Lancaster Park crowd booed him.

That's terrible. Some probably thought Germon was a better keeper.

Talking of Astle, randomly retiring during an Aussie ODI triseries is up there (out of form and under pressure from John Bracewell).
