Worst Number XI ever...

[Pace Setter]

Mcgrath was the only Australian batsmen not dismissed in the 2001 Indian test series. In recent times he's really stepped up a notch and i can almost confidently say he's in the same field as Gillespie. On the other hand, Mcgrath is a league above Macgill, whom I consider the worst batsmen in the world currently, and in the all-time bunnies XI.

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

Paul Collingwood and Shaun Pollock immediately spring to mind.

Actually he was last man out in the 2nd Test at Eden Gardens. He did average 47 for the series though.

I would have to disagree there.

Gillespie is someone who I'd back to hang around for an hour or so with a top order player.

McGrath is most definitely not.

Chris Martin--NewZelander who played for them in 2001-2002.

Patrick Patterson is another worthy mention.


Oh and King too.

Just noticed this thread.
A couple of things to say:
One, "ever" is almost impossible to have a "best" when it's as long as cricket's history.
Two, when you get to a certain level, there is nothing between some stuff. Without a question, number-elevenness is one of them!

Yes , laugh laugh

Erm, relevance?

 

[raju]

How the hell did I forget Shaun Pollock? Any others?

The great Steve Kirby.

No seriously, Courtney Walsh.

I think IMO that Glenn McGrath has improved his batting.

 

[Swervy]

Tuffers for me I reckon

 

[Armadillo]

Erm, relevence of the phrase: Erm, relevance

Yep, I agree.

Along with, erm, Richard and erm, Neil.

Interesing...

Not really! :P

 

[age_master]

Steve Waugh told Glenn McGrath that if he ever played a test with Macgill again McGrath was batting at 10

 

[Richard]

How on Earth can anyone think that any of these players are really any worse than the others!:rolleyes: :O :wow:
They're all terrible, full-stop. My Dad's a better player, even at 51!

 

[Swervy]

I remember way way back Walsh being not TOO bad a batter for Gloucestershire..i am talking a long time ago..he batting just seemed to get worse and worse

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

On the contrary, I think Walsh got better and better as he got on in age. He was true entertainment especially in his later years.
