One-match wonders discounted by the opening post for obvious reasons (we'd have literally hundreds of contenders otherwise) but Pattinson is actually a far better bowler than many who have played more Test cricket than he. Though he is not merely the worst selection this decade but for a great many decades.
Well true, but there is no excuse why he didn't do better than he did. I think he's the ultimate proven bad cricketer. If we are to judge players who actually played games, had more than enough chances to come good but still weren't able to have success then darren powell is clearly the worst of all established cricketers. Darren powell bowled some good balls, but when he was ready to be bad he was really bad.
It's been said but, Sami.
I am not going to judge by whats in their pants but tharanga has won more games than Mubarak.. he has more hundreads to start off with. Muba looks like a slogger.. compared to tharanga.
Would still say Sami, tbh.
Mubarak only gets selected because he has a relative on the Sri Lankan Cricket Board (or something similar).
His ODI record is far too good to be the worst though. Maybe the worst test cricketer.
Ouch! That is a dire record
Powell's ODI stats aren't bad either. I can't remember his name exactly, but I know there's a Zimbabwean who has an even worse record yet. Will look it up.
True, but I'm not advocating Powell. My suggestion was Xavier Marshall.
Wouldn't disagree there.
Think it's his father is some high-ranking Sri Lankan doctor who has all sorts of friends in all sorts of places or something like that. Either way it's bloody annoying.
Cephas Zhuwavo?
Good grief, he should be playing Scrabble rather than international cricket
That's the one.
