Hilariously bad innings

[NUFAN]

Had a good think, and for me it's Ian Bell's pair at the Oval in 05.

It is hard to look anything but bad when making a pair but Dean Elgar on debut was hilariously bad. It was especially funny for those of us who remember Jboss who used to talk up Elgar so much that I was pretty excited to see him.

Marto actually became relatively kind of decent towards the end, in that he could last ten deliveries regularly.

And just in case you thought you might want to ease up on Mitchell Johnson, let me remind you

Dean Elgar was awful in Perth on debut,

 

[Spikey]

that dravid innings in 2007-08 v australia where he scored about 2 runs off 200 balls was pretty bad iirc

[Agent Nationaux]

Remember a Pak player recently who scored after 70 deliveries. Think it was Farhat.

Maybe Rob or Smali know.

Haha yeah. Johnson had him ****ting his pants.

Johnson.

At Melbourne? I was there at the match, didn't help that Wasim Jaffer made about 4 off 30 at the other end either

 

[Spark]

Haha yeah. Johnson had him ****ting his pants.

Johnson.

tbf johnson would be the worst bowler to face for someone not used/not capable to playing that sort of bowling. you have no ****ing clue where the ball is going to be, and you know you won't have much time to react when you find out.

 

[Maximas]

Yeah, MJ actually bowled quite well on that occasion tbf, Elgar wasn't the only one either, some Sri Lankan fingers got ****ed up last summer as well

 

[BeeGee]

Flem beat me to it.

 

[GuyFromLancs]

Flem beat me to it.

Beautiful technique!

 

[Furball]

Did't Raina have an incredibly prolonged duck in England last time as well?

 

[Furball]

Is that the one where he backed away and then hit the dead ball to the fielder?Fun times.

It was indeed.

 

[Expressway76]

KP has had a good few utterly atrocious innings.


I could only listen to Broad's 2 hour+ 6 from 77 in Eden Park this year but it sounded excruciatingly bad (even though it did save the match).

 

[Burgey]

Some if Tubby Taylor's innings during his horrid slump in 96-97 were hella bad. Just looked like he didn't know which end of the bat to hold.

Tbh he was always a great play-and-misser so often didn't look especially great, but on these occasions he was batting in Braille.

 

[fredfertang]

Graeme Fowler gets my vote as the greatest player and misser of all time - saw him once spar at every one of Sylvers' deliveries for about three overs without being good enough to nick one, then he got out to the bloke at the other end - Sylvers was noticeably muted during the celebrations

 

[doesitmatter]

Shastri has played some terrible innings at the top of the order..strokeless wonder..

 

[andyc]

Elgar's debut as mentioned here. Includes a wasted review, too.
