Biggest plodders in international cricket history.

What about Devon Malcolm? I remember that bloke was in and out of the England side. Couldnt bat at all and was a pretty ordinary bowler too.

9-57 against SA when they made the mistake of bouncing him in the head.

Explosively quick when he wanted to be, but haemorrhaged runs like there was no tomorrow.

Still, at least he actually had a neck, unlike the neckless wonder - Gladstone Small.

Others who competed despite physical impairment - Lou Vincent aka Chinchilla, Chinny Chin Chin.. weighs 75kgs - 25 of which is in his chin.

He had one thing that no-one else in the domestic set-up had - raw pace. The "You Guys is History" 9-57 was just special, it's a shame there wasn't someone around to mentor/guide him to a consistent level of performance.

Yes i know he took once big haul of wickets but on the whole i think he was a plodder of the highest order.

 

[Camel56]

How about Craig Matthews the guy from tasmania i think who played a few tests in the mid 80s. Pretty ordinary bowler. Plod plod he goes!

He took a 10-for at Port-Of-Spain, too.
He wasn't a one-performance wonder. Though I don't really think it would have been possible to make him much better than he was. Still, Raymond Illingworth contributed to making him worse every bit the way he helped Hick.

He had one thing that no-one else in the domestic set-up had - raw pace.

Which kind of disguised the fact that he didn't have any of the other important assets that are more important in a good bowler.

But he was still successful at times, in spite of only having Pace and a big Heart.

Funny that...

Bowlers are successful sometimes.
Are you seriously saying you never saw him move the ball off the seam?

 

[Camel56]

Richard, what are you doing making so many comments in such "an infitessimally pointless discussion?"

 

[Richard]

Post boosting.
And making the point that it's pointless.
And answering questions asked of me.

 

[Richard Rash]

Sorry a serious question Richard.... why do you want to boost your number of Posts... is it a competition?

 

[bryce]

Haha Richard de Groen, Matt Hart, Mark Haslam, Blair Pocock, Murphey Su'a, Justin Vaughan, Robbert Keenedy, Greg Loveridge, Kerry Walmsley

Tony Blain(wasn't that bad), Grant Bradburn, Heath Davis, Lee Germon, Mark Priest, Gary Stead

A hint for you:

This message is hidden because Richard is on your ignore list.

 

[Camel56]

Why would you put someone on ignore? Youd have to be an uphill gardening LOOSER in a yellow with black maltese cross clown cuit complete with frilly pom-poms to do that.

Slow Motion Sorbolene Gloves,

Remember when you're addressing Australia's Leading Social Commentator it is "Dear Mr Jones" okay got that. Good. Before you try dishing out insults may I say that your choice to have one of the world's worst entertainers in history in Punce as your avatar speaks volumes for your significant mental retardation. And only a mean spirited person of dubious taste would try making jokes alluding to the tragic Sigfried and Roy accident. Very poor form.

 

[Pinkline Jones]

NZ IDOL,

Your so-called "knowledge of the game" is right up there with Britney Spears' understanding of the Heisenberg Mechanism.

 

[ReallyCrazy]

I like camel56. He's funny!!!

Richard,

Re: "What an infitessimally pointless discussion." - that would mean that the discussion is only a teeny bit pointless wouldn't it?
