Players that had quick declines....

[morgieb]

Who, do you think, had careers which was good for parts of it but weaker for other parts of it.

Ian Botham and Waqar Younis come to mind here.

Does the decline have to be at the end of their careers?

This. What was it? A span of two tests?

 

[Spikey]

Bowlers in this are almost always cases of the "lost their nip" tag. Pretty sure Clark and Gillespie got branded with it, rightly or not. Hoggard, Ntini, Caddick would be a few off the top of my head.

He was utterly garbage in the one dayers that preceeded the 2005 Ashes and spent the 3 Tests he did play bowling absolute dross.

I think I've read on here before that some people felt in hindsight that he'd perhaps shown signs of decline in the home summer prior to the Ashes.
