Worst Ever Players

[biased indian]

Ashly giles
he bowls most of the time negative style

 

[marc71178]

He bowls to order (as told by the captain)

How can you call him the "Worst Ever" when you look at his success when conditions favour spinners?

 

[Craig]

He had a whole series in SL, all of those matches included in that average.

With only one significant score.

 

[marc71178]

Yes, but his average is still so good recently when including the low scores!

 

[Craig]

That maybe so, but if he doesnt pull off the goods v Australia next season, he wont be as great as what you tell me is.

i doubt though that we'll see a drought of runs from him against australia(unless warne has something to do with it)....its more a question of whether he can convert those 30s-40s into big scores.

 

[Craig]

It's ll very well to speculate, but I'm prepared to wait. To say he was missed in the last Ashes is pure speculation.

Please show me where I have called him "Great"?

I admit I have defended him from what I feel is unwarranted criticism, but never called him great...

To say that suggests you are unwilling to give him any credit ever.

A form player that really balanced our team make-up, of course he was missed!

how many players did we miss on that tour btw?
*takes out his calculator and begins to count*

What I am saying there isnt any proof he would of made a difference to England winning or not.

Robert Key has been very harhsly trreated in this forum. He has ONLY played against Australia and hasnt done that badly, getting a few 40s when other players failed miserably.

He was also batting out of position.

Anyway, Elton Chigumbura.

Don Bradman was crap and very overrated and only played england and england have been and always will be ****. The "don" had many technical flaws that nobody ever seem to exploit or talk about. Average should of been 9.94 not 99.94

Sir Richard Hadlee was far crappier than Don Bradman. In fact, every other player in recorded history is/was far crappier than Bradman.

As for the flaws, I think Douglas Jardine had a go at exploiting them. It worked to some extent, but the England authorities were not happy with Mr Jardine's tactics when the West Indies employed them and they were outlawed.

I don't know who the bigger buffoon is: you for posting that vomit or me for biting. Let's call it a draw.

Mike Brearley?
Great captain, crap player.

Looks like Pinky fell out with Perky.
Watch out Billy Goats Gruff - all is not well in Troll-land.

 

[Craig]

Ashwell Prince as a Test cricketer.

he did get a couple of opportunities against india in 2002 and failed, and then got 2 more against zim in 2003 where he failed miserably yet again. against australia he got 4 chances and only averaged 17. quite frankly hes not good enough at test level and even if he scores a century against every visiting team in england i would still be reluctant to pick him
