This hack.

He's officially the worst test bowler as well as leg spinner too; has conceded more runs than anyone else in test cricket without a wicket to show for it.

Kept better spinners out of the side.

Frank Ward's Test numbers are hideous, but the 1938 tour wasn't one of our best:

As is Greg Loveridge - basically picked because NZ was obsessed with finding a legspinner. Didn't help that he never bowled in his only test.

He has the mitigation of not really being a legspinner or indeed a spinner at all though - did he seriously ever turn a ball?

Never even tried to, from what I saw. A legspinner who knew his limitations- spin (or lack thereof), primarily.
