Worst Number XI ever...

Langeveldt

Not sure about AD.... He was a bunny, but i dont think he was the worst.. He worked on his batting a lot and at least had a technique...

Not sure of his stats, but i dont think they are "worst in the worldesque"

  1. Agree with most, especially courtney, hasn't he got the test record for ducks? As for my boy anderson though i think thats being quite harsh. Has a good correct posture, but is obviously not a stroke player, defence is quite sound, along with Gillespie in terms of defensive ablility. The fact that he has 10 NO's out of 12 innings shows this. I know half of this is because he is no. 11 but he's still keeps his wicket nonetheless.

Ducks don't necessarily mean that much - Mike Atherton has one of the highest number of ducks in Tests, and he wasn't too bad a batsman.

Yeh, Tuffers was pretty hilarious.

Also, Neil informed me of Richard's batting, so he must be a candidate. I have also seen Richard admit on here that he can't bat to save his life, so he must be a candidate.
 

Tom Halsey

Lol.

Adil, completely unrelated, do not forget to bring Get Rich or Die Tryin' tomorrow.

I reckon that Neil is the worst XI.

Hey don't knock Martin too much...he once lasted 6 balls so Matty Sinclair could get his 2nd double hundred!

I rate McGrath as a better batsman than MacGill , sure he's hopeless but he at least tries to contribute & works real hard on it in the nets , he can put his head down & stick around if he really has to.

MacGill is probably a little more coordinated but the ability to apply himself just seems to elude him.

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone remember any ginger cricketers, I can't remember any:rolleyes:
