Ah, a mid War Chandrasekhar.

Martin definitely. That guy was a proper no 11 if I've ever seen one. From the ones not mentioned here, Monty and Kaneria were pretty poor too out of the ones I've seen
Chin Music
State Vice-Captain
Danny Morrison?

Among the active ones, Nahid Rana looks special

There were a few who started out as bad as Martin but got a bit better as they got older - Christopher Mpofu and Manjural Islam spring to mind. Ebadot as well looked like he might challenge Martin originally too but recently made 20 odd.
Martin really stands out for not just being horrible but never finding a way to get any better with exposure over a long career.
Bilal Khan from Oman looks truly hopeless to me and he hasn't made double figures in any format for decades but he did make 21 in a Pakistani FC game in 2008.

How could anyone possibly suggest Chris Martin

That was Tim Martin who was obviously a very handy lower order batsman.

Danny duck Morrison was pretty bad but he did once help save a test being involved in a 100 run partnership with Nathan Astle.
Interestingly he was dropped after the match for his efforts

Glad Mpofu got mentioned, him actually making a half ton in Zimbabwe domestic FC cricket is still something that is a little hard to believe, but it genuinely happened
More first class 50s than Rabada at least

Also not international but South Australia has had some pretty awful tailenders
Mark Harrity and Paul Rofe probably the most blatant examples thereof

Bill Bowes would be a candidate (although I didn't see him play, I saw cartoons by Roy Ulyett depicting him.) He took more FC wickets (1639) than he scored runs (1531). The same applied to Tests (68 wickets and 28 runs).

When you’re batting #11 behind Alan Mullally and Phil Tufnell, you’ve got to be pretty inept. Step forward Ed Giddins.
