The worst player to play for your country

Every cricket lover remembers players they really didn't rate and yet they played international cricket!

Who's THE worst player that played for your country ?

I've got LOADS to pick from , English selectors have made some major oopsies over the years!!


"Class" players like Ronnie Irani ,Graham Barlow , Simon Brown and Tony Pigott.


But my personal favourite has to be Chris Schofield !!


That he played for Lancashire makes it worse! He was supposed to be the English answer to Shane Warne !!!

   He played in only two tests , could barely hit the strip and Athers was scared to bowl him !! Of course , he didn't take a single wicket.......


   ......and now he's redundant , a pity actually , as we desparately needed him to succeed.

from the west indies i would have to say mervyn dillon. he began his carreer while walsh and ambrose were still playing but didnt seem to learn one thing from them @ all.

lewy
   i don't know about the worst player but i am pretty sure about the best place in the world to be.(Saint Lucia ) i wish i get a chance to go there to watch cricket.lewy you are so lucky dude!

well i hate sami not because he isn't a good bowler but because he shows off a lot, so no matter what he does,I'll always hate him for being the most over-actor player i have ever seen.

 

SA Muller who rocked up for australia,
He made headlines big time for throwing a return to shane warne,from the boundry and the words,(cant bowl cant throw either) were clear for everyone to hear.It was as the ball dribbled along the ground back to warne who was standing over the microphone stump.
The catch was that this bloke made a huge song and dance about it when he was told by freinds after the days play.
He sooked and argued with warne and went to the papers saying he was going to sue.
Warne completly denied the allegations.And although it appeared Warne had indeed said it,and for all his other failings he is very supportive of his team mates,you will never here him bag a team mate ever.He is as loyal and staunch to team mates as anyone who has played cricket.
So who was it then,who made the snide and cruell remark as there was only warney,and the umpire when the words come clearly over the tv speakers in everyhome.?????
It turns out that a cameraman who after returning from an advert forgot to switch of his feed line and whatever he said was said all over australia,haha,he owned up and admitted it.Do you think this muller guy would accept he got it wrong,no way,he still was demanding court action,mind you this is still on day 3 of the test match.
Aust ended up winning the game,muller was never heard from again,only in papers saying he is sure warne said it and he does not want peace with him or the selectors,hahaha
so there is a guy who was no good at cricket,at test level but didnt know when to shut the hell up hahaha

Ps,when we say the worst players ,these guys are top players to make it to test level,but not good at test level,i wish i could be called a dud but got to play one test,more than a cood of been champion who never played 1 test hahahaha

Yes well i never really thought of it that way Pete,but surly the Germans must be ok at something?Over to you Pete????hahaha

wasn't 1933-1942 near the 2nd world war or was it the 2nd world war??

i didn't know that udal was 36. what a disgrace to become a cricketer at such an old age (for cricket). this will be his first and last test series. he probably won't even make the whole series. he'll get injured or something and will go to the hospital.

i don't even know who this Tino guy is?? Can you please give me a small profile of him??

What a disgrace. I mean figures of 17-3-47-1 on international debut, absolutely shocking. It may well be his first and last series, but who else were we going to play? He's a lot better than the spinners we've tried in recent times, i.e Batty, Dawson, Schofield, who probably are amongst the worst players to have played for England.

The irony of your comment about him getting injured is brilliant when you have your own Shoaib Akhtar in the Pakistan team.

im sorry if you didnt understand what i wrote. i'll know better in the future. and yes i was typing in english. i guess that's the caribbean blood in me. Tino Best is from the island of Barbados. made his test debut versus Australia in 2003. has the ability to bowl in excess of 90 plus mph. but he seems to be more concerned with things outside cricket than focussing on his cricket. if you want any further details, visit cricinfo. com.

yes he is west indian. go to cricinfo.com and go to the west indies link. go to players and look him up there

that's a god point put out JP. very good point.

What was his spinning like? Because he may be similar to kaneria - a
useless fielder, but a worthy bowler.

i just think that Best needs to focus on his game more. with regards to dave mohammed, there is still alot of potential in him. the selectors just havent made their minds up as yet.
