Battle of the bits-and-pieces players

Arjun · 03-07-2008, 06:59 AM

This is my first attempt at starting one. They appear useless, but sometimes come useful in a match. Let's make the list. There may be some gems in these.

James Hopes
Shane Lee
Ian Harvey
Matthew Fleming
Dougie Brown
Ronnie Irani
Adam Hollioake
Dermot Reeve
Dmitri Mascarenhas
Abid Ali
Roger Binny
Andre Adams
Azhar Mahmood
Zander de Bruyn
Justin Kemp
Dilhara Lokuhettige
Hashantha Fernando
Gayan Wijekoon
Dwayne Smith
Darren Sammy
Ryan Hinds

More to come.

Edit: Added a few

Used to be. Basically a batsman these days.

Tell me what you know about Rod Latham. Harris was an under-rated bowler for New Zealand, while there are some who think Ealham was one who could have been one of England's greatest ODI bowlers.

Mark Alleyne?
I'll also vote Chris Simpson [QLD BULLS]

This thread is a JOKE. Roger Binny wasn't a bits and pieces player and its just sheer ignorance to call him one and compare him with the likes of Ronnie Irani.

Arjun, you should stick to your 6 hitting posts.

andruid · 03-07-2008, 07:49 AM

Dmitri Mascarenhas?

You can't get enough of disagreeing with me, can you?

Andre Adams is an opening bowler, and the best one in NZ besides Shane Bond. Now thir best two bowlers are rotting away in India, well in Bracewell.

Anyway, back on track:

Shahid Afridi for sure
Cullen Bailey

edging back a bit, the king of them

Khaled Mahmud

Well done in ignoring the question, once again. How is Binny a Bits n pieces player ?

KiWiNiNjA · 03-07-2008, 08:13 AM

Jamie Dalrymple (sp?)

Manee · 03-07-2008, 08:15 AM

Something confuses me. The best bits and pieces player becomes an all rounder, no?
