An underrated act in the 92 World Cup maybe Saeed Anwar would have done a better job but he did his task efficiently also going through some cricinfo scorecards seemed to bat lengthy periods in match saving batting efforts in the late 80s and early 90s there is a reason Imran kept him in the side

I would guess he barely bowled for the first several years of his career. Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib, Saqqie, Mushtaq Ahmed, Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood were all often in the set up, the first 4 all ODI bowling legends. he wasn't really needed for anything other than his explosive batting which barely came off I'll give you
Once they moved on and he'd regularly get 10 overs he seemed to be always in the wickets - 9 ODI fivefers is the 3rd most ever

He's passable as a bowler but extremely minnow bashy and never did anything in ODI WCs. His batting is a non factor for me.

Zak Crawley. Heck, almost any non-Cook English opener over the past decade.

Huh, I didn't realize hating on Faisal Iqbal was a thing. We should start a club.
I believe that had Getting taken that easy catch in Chennai on the 92 tour, we'd have been talking about Salisbury in the same hushed tones we use for Warne.

Perhaps it would have been something like this we’d be saying to each other?
[whispering] “Remember that wicket Salisbury took at Chennai?”
“Yeah!”
“Well, **** me he was **** after that, wasn’t he?”
“Absolutely!”

Jarquis had to pick him in a draft recently and begrudgingly announced his pick as 'Faisal ****ing Iqbal'.

Hamish Rutherford scored a century on dayboo, and totally sucked after that.
Blair Pocock couldn't score a test century, got 6 50's but averaged under 23.
Dipak Patel had 66 innings and couldn't score a century, averaging only 20. With the ball he averaged 42.
Phil Tufnell averaged nearly 40 with the ball, taking less than 3 wickets a test, and of course was a complete chump with bat in hand.

Easier to say all NZ cricketers who debuted between 1928 and 1968 except 4.

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.
