Worst players to wear the baggy green

[Brown n Gold]

I'll start us off...

Scott Muller - Cant bowl, cant bat, cant throw case closed
Andrew Hilditch - see compulsive hooker in the dictionary pic of Hilditch
Gavin Robertson - Did his best work in the band 6 and out.
Chris Matthews - was it Chris that couldn't hit the pitch in his debut
Murray Bennett - Mid 80's a dark cloud hung over aussie cricket
Robbie Kerr - Averaged 37 odd in first class cricket and got a gig

hauritz, close thread

Lol, Nathan Hauritz is up there with the ones I have seen. Dan Cullen was picked way to early. So he would be up there.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Dan Cullen? Give him a break, he's 23. Its not like he doesn't have a chance to make it back again.

 

[hong_kong_bond]

Matthew Nicholson is worthy of a mention...

Hauritz is spot on.

 

[VoR]

Shaun Young.
Paul Wilson.
Darren Lehmann.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

From the players I've seen actually play..

Muller, Nicholson, Hauritz, Robertson, interestingly all bowlers..

Cullen was picked too early though, but is not in the category of the others (state bias may or may not be coming through).

simon cook alto he did take a five fa at the SCG

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Shaun Young.
Paul Wilson.
Darren Lehmann.

I was not a huge fan of Lehmann in the test team, but stop embarassing yourself

 

[Dogboy21]

Shaun Young.
Paul Wilson.
Darren Lehmann.

Darren Lehmann - you are a w##ker mate if you reckon he didn't deserve a baggy green. Has over 25,000 FC runs and if not for a couple of brothers would have played a pontus more for our country. Seriously just a sh#t call.

Martin Love
did shane lee play a test?
Simon Katich (although one would have to rethink now)
I have no idea how colin miller won cricketer of the year

 

[davey_magik]

Colin Miller.
I remember he said Paul Collingwood was 'a club cricketer'. Now I hate England as much as the next guy but Collingwood is 100 times what Miller ever was.

Johnny Watkins couldn't hit the pitch when he debuted against Pakistan in 1972/3 but the team for the Windies had already been selected so he toured there.

Chris Matthews couldn't hit the pitch either though.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Colin Miller (he was the one with the coloured hair right?) actually had one really good season. Played quite well, so i wouldn't add him to the worst list.

Martin Love
did shane lee play a test?

Shane Lee didn't play a test, and Martin Love scored 50 on debut (I saw it personally) and 100 in his last test dig (OK, Bangladesh for his ton but you have to score the runs) with an average of 46 with a couple of ducks thrown in.


Amongst the worst...

Brendon Julian (Played in a few wins though, including Windies 1995)
Peter McIntyre
Peter Sleep (Averaged 45 with the ball)
Shane Watson
Brad Williams
Steve Rixon
Phil Emery
Greg Campbell
Simon O'Donnell (1 Day Specialist, better when wearing the canary yellow cap)

 

[Cleavy]

Thankfully Shaun Young denied Shane Lee a test cap

 

[Brown n Gold]

How about the fatcat... Greg Ritchie

Colin Miller did win the Test player of the year award at the AB medal you do realise.
Winner is clearly Hauritz anyway

i remeber him opening the bowling in a test in adelaide and after 6 over resorting to his off spin straight away, he wasnt great but no the worst my vote goes to hauritz and Williams

What?

Debuts at 34, takes 69 test wickets @ 26 and he's a hack now?

Some people on this board employ pretty strange logic.

Nathan Hauritz. Game Over.
