Crap players you don't want to see playing for your country

I was going to say Heath Davis and Chris Martin, but was beaten to it. I'll say Oram just for psxpro or kiwipostereborn or whatever his name is this week.

If I see Ross Taylor at three in tests I just might cry.

Nothing. On a good day he can get within a foot of a legal delivery.

(No offence to Heath)
Look at his test stats:

v England 2 57 186 2 1/50 1/93 93.00 3.26 171.0 0 0
v Sri Lanka 2 78.2 211 10 5/63 6/98 21.10 2.69 47.0 1 0
v Zimbabwe 1 33 102 5 3/57 5/102 20.40 3.09 39.6 0 0

England was dire in the 90s. So not indicative. Even Vinod Kambli averaged 90s against them. Lanka in New Zealand was dire any ways and Zimbabwe doesn't count.

Too kind TBH, on a good day he can get at least half his deliveries on the pitch.

I will say this for Heath though, if he hadn't gotten injured every morning and sorted the extras problem he could have made a decent bowler.

I really can't understand how he got injured and all. His strength knew no bounds. Have you heard of any other cricketer who was hit on the head while batting without wearing a helmet and no ill effects occuring?

He quit cricket only to pursue a modelling career. Because of that, cricket lost a great bowler.



Thank you for the memories.

Who said there were no ill effects?:ph34r:

It will be interesting to see what Heath makes of all this when he comes online.

As an India supporter, I'd make a long list, but some of them have achieved a lot in the past, so they're not, as the title suggests, but they don't fit in now. But these truly fit the bill-
  • Agarkar
  • Dinesh Karthik (hopeless in ODI's and will get unstuck in Tests)
  • Munaf (unless we see him sliding and diving in the field and scoring runs in quick chunks)
  • Parthiv (one wicketkeeper-batsman too many, way too many in India)
  • Maninder Bisla- not yet got a match for India; opener-turned-wicketkeeper; let it stay that way
  • Deep Dasgupta and Dinesh Mongia- no comments, they're with ICL
