Michael Vaughan is probably the biggest disappointment when it comes to ODI's. He maybe a very good test player and captain but he just doesn't cut it when it comes to one dayers and why he is still there I cannot understand. Considering that his average at 27 is just 6 more than Brett Lee who is a tail ender I'm astonished that he is still in the one day team.]]> Thu, 03 May 2007 12:27:57 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3516&PID=130466#130466 World Cup Failures : He has been fantastic for them... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3516&PID=129000#129000 Author: tonks007

Ross Taylor.
 
Explanation: He has been injured for most of tournament however his performances have lacked when ever he was playing. The reason i'm saying he is a WC failure is because he hasn't lived up to the hype he created beforehand.
 
Future: Next WC will be his. Four more years of international cricket will turn him into an absolute superstar.

Yep against  SA but Russel Arnold didn't perform at his best but still he is in the team to do the rescue act and he has done a fair job at that.
SL  still doesn't posses batsmen who can slog at the end of the innings.We rely on the first 20 overs to boost the run rate and then play the singles game with the odd boundary in it.
So naturally there is a possibility of SL being in 5 down or something for a very low score and thats why we play the extra batsmen to stop the collapse.
Tharanga too is underperforming but atleast he laid the foundation in both the India & England  matches with his half centuries

Realistically: I don't think Justin Kemp's name deserves to be in this thread. You have to at least have some expectation on you to be considered a failure. I don't think many people (apart from the controversial SA selectors) actually expected Kemp to do anything. He can't bowl, he can't bat (99% of the time), and he's off the par in terms of south african fielding. His place in the squad still to this day astounds me.

I keep hoping he'll prove me wrong, but I know it's not gonna happen.

I think he's done enough since he started his international career to prove that he's a fantastic player. By that same token I also believe he has to maintain it for at least another couple of years before he can be considered great.

And to round off a rather opinionated post, by saying Hussey is better than Bevan and Klusener was nowhere near either of them, 143no has proven once and for all that it is impossible to form an accurate, unbiased opinion with one's head so firmly lodged in one's arse.

Havent we had this discussion before somewhere 143? Bevan proved himself long term and Hussey has a hell of a long way to be in the same class has Bevo. Hussey had an opportunity when he came in the 37th over in match and through his wicket away when he didn't have to. And when came in to score quick runs, he failed where normally he would have dominated.
    
      I know this was only a couple of knocks but this is a guy who was averaging in the 80's not that long ago and now averages in the 50's. I certainly wouldnt class him as a failure but we did expect a bit more from him and hopefuly he comes good in the Semi's/Final if he is required to.
