Worst Ever Players

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Surely the Caribbean of all places can produce better???

He's certainly got the talent, but it's the mental aspect that needs work.

 

[Scallywag]

Murali is the first player to put himself before the game.

He is a cheat and has caused more damage to cricket in general than Hansie.

[Tim]

Any NZ player from around 1993/1994 would have to be up there as worst player...Richard De Groen, Murphy Su'a, Blair Hartland, Darren Murray...the list goes on.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Rawl Lewis.

 

[masterblaster]

160+ ODI wickets at an average of 27, with 3 50's and being the fastest cricketer ever to 50 wickets, hardly classifies Ajit Agarkar as the worst international cricketer.

Many more have been much more 'worse' than him.

 

[Mr. P]

Worst non minnow player I have ever seen:

Ronnie Irani

 

[Craig]

Hmmm....

1/Vusi Simbana
2/Matt Bell
3/
4/
5/Richard Jones
6/Mishbah ul-Haq
7/Ajay Ratra
8/Mluki Nkala
9/Robbie Peterson
10/Richard Dawson
11/Scott Muller

This is a XI of the worst players I have seen. I will fill in spots 3 % 4 later

Jeeziz, just name the current Zimbabwe team. Anyone left in there from the side that toured Australia are hopeless, and the new players are even worse.

Vusi Sibanda
Stuart Matsikenyeri
Blessing Mahwire (sorry buddy)

yea and considering the english selectors pick rikki clarke.......dwayne smith has real talent IMO, believe me in a few years he'll be averaging in the 40s at least in both ODIs and tests

i dont think he gets and credit for his performance in adelaide either,all the credit seems to go to dravid when it was ajit agarkar who got 6 wickets and skittled the aussies out for 190 odd.

Yes Dravid made a mere 304 undefeated runs in the match. Very average.

Brendon Julian.

Ian Blackwell and James Ormond share the same dietry program.

 

[Craig]

Anybody noticed England had 13 players in there, a whole XI and two reserves.

 

[tooextracool]

Yes Dravid made a mere 304 undefeated runs in the match. Very average.

do you read what i say???where did i say that dravids performance was average???i said that all the credit goes to dravid and none to agarkar even though he did half the workload of bowling a very good batting side out!!

well around 98 there were some shocking selections....

 

[Andre]

leaving out zimbabwe and bangladesh, there have been quite a few players in the last 10 years that deserve special mention....

rikki clarke(ENG) - Did some good things in his 2 Tests to date
marke alleyne(ENG) - Good enough to win an ODI man-of-the-match, a worthy international
ed giddins(ENG) - Played 3 Tests and averaged around 18 with the ball. Not the worst.
james ormond(ENG) - Has still got the talent, just needs the disipline and to stay injury-free.
warren hegg(ENG) - Excellent gloveman.
alistair brown(ENG) - Has an ODI century.
shane watson(AUS) - He's good enough, certainly not the worst.
brendon julian(AUS) - Was a worthy ODI player at the time.
gavin robertson(AUS) - Never let anyone down when he played Test cricket.
justin kemp(SA) - Has the talent, but something is missing upstairs.

See the comments next to the names - I don't think the above players were/are too bad at all.
