Battle of the ****e

[TT Boy]

We seem to have a lot of ‘battles’ on this forum but usually they are in celebration of fantastic cricketers or the best movies, singles, albums et cetera yet the un so untalented are seemingly left in the cold. I considered it would be rather refreshing to find out who the forum votes as the worst cricketer to ever play at international level.

Wonder cap wonders are exempt, to be truly worthy of the ****e category the player would need to have played at least five test or ten ODI in the post WW2 era. Raison d'être’s are not needed, words such as Jehan Mubarak pretty much sum up everything we need to know.

I’ll think 32 names would be sufficient anything to proceed to the battle. A little help with selecting the battles would be appreciated or carrying the mantle whilst TT Boy is away (Silentstriker?). But post your suggestions and if they are ****e enough, they are in the battle.

Couple of names to get the ball rolling…

1. Mohammad Sami
2. Jehan Mubarak
3. Ian Salisbury
4. Devon Malcolm
5. Gareth Batty
6. Daren Ganga
7. Rikki Clarke
8. Ronnie Irani
9. Asoka De Silva
10. Clive Eksteen
11. Adam Bacher
12. Matthew Bell
13. Bill Playle
14. Nicky Boje
15. Chris Adams
16. Ian Ward
17. Kabir Ali
18. Richard Dawson
19. Tino Best
20. Kirti Azad
21. Mohammad Akram
22. Aashish Kapoor
23. Fazl-e- Akbar
24. Lakshmipathy Balaji
25. Noel McGregor
26. Murray Chapple
27. Robin Peterson
28. Mark Ramprakash
29.
30.

Battle of the what?

 

[Nishant]

If ur talking of the worst players of international cricket, i would definitely add Salvi to that list. Correct me if im wrong, but wasn't Salvi the same guy who tried to mo0del himself on Glenn McGrath...but it all just went horribly wrong!

Battle of the what?

Poo. Or rude word for it.

Ian Salisbury? 15 wickets @ 70-odd apiece IIRC.

Nice one, his in.

 

[silentstriker]

Well find a list of everyone who played > five tests and 80% of people on there would make it.

[superkingdave]

Gareth Batty

 

[Goughy]

Devon Malcolm.

I liked him, he had his moment in the sun against SA but c'mon, he was terrible.

One of the least effective long test careers in history.

EDIT- TBH, this list could almost exclusively be Bang or Zim players

 

[grecian]

Jim Troughton
Gareth Batty
Daren Ganga
Rikki Clarke

[silentstriker]

Michael Hussey, during and after 2006 Ashes.

Just kidding!

 

[TT Boy]

Azhar mahmood
Fazl-e- Akbar
Arshad Ayub
Mohammad Akram

He was pretty decent for Pak, especially in test cricket. Fazl-e- Akbar and Mohammad Akram could be worthy or a berth however.

Defo, one of the worst cricketers around at the moment, can and will only score through one area (cover) and usually makes the flattest of wickets look like a minefield.

 

[silentstriker]

So wait, do we vote for the ****tiest player? Or is the winner the least ****tiest player out of all the ****ty players?
