Sadly short test careers...

[paulted]

Stuart Law, a mighty fine player-One test - 54 not out, then dropped for a returning Steve Waugh.

 

[Howe_zat]

Mushfiqur Rahim

 

[Migara]

Jayananda Warnaweera. Wish he had a better temperament. Would have lasted few more years and would have played bucket load of tests if he did so. The right handed Underwood, with lot more turn.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Rob nicol. A finer scrapper I have never seen

 

[fredfertang]

Ollie Milburn

 

[BoyBrumby]

Archie Jackson must have the most heartbreaking story attached to his truncated test record.

Also any number of SA players from the 60s: noteably a couple of Pollocks (arf), Richards & Barlow.

 

[The Sean]

Sid Barnes

 

[Eds]

WG Grace.

 

[JTemperance]

The fragile quicks: Dean Headley, Simon Jones, Shane Bond.

 

[harsh.ag]

South Africans - Barry Richards, Graeme and Peter Pollock, Mike Procter, Clive Rice, Eddie Barlow, Vincent van der Bjl, Garth Le Roux, Jimmy Cook, Ray Jenner etc. Brett Schultz from the 90s

Windies - Franklyn Stephenson, Sylvester Clarke, Collis King, Richard Austin, David Murray

Australia - Stuart MacGill, Archie Jackson, Stuart Clark, Andy Bichel, Brad Hodge, David Hussey, Stuart Law, Nathan Bracken, Di Venuto, Martin Love

 

[harsh.ag]

India - Padmakar Shivalker, Rajiner Goel, Mohammad Nissar, Amar Singh, Vijay Merchant, Ajay Sharma

Richard Johnson, great bowler

 

[Jono]

Sachin Tendulkar's.

 

[Coronis]

God threads like these make me so sad. Jeez imagine SA in the 70s-80s vs the WI. Would've been a hell of a rivalry.

 

[Slifer]

Collie Smith, Wayne Daniel, Sylvester Clarke, Colin Croft, Charles Davis, Manny Martindale etc. As far as the RSA team of the 80s yeah, they would've made on hell of a rivalry with the WI up until the early 1980s, thereafter RSA were a spent force.

 

[Hooksey]

Stuart Law, a mighty fine player-One test - 54 not out, then dropped for a returning Steve Waugh.

Imagine how well Stuart Law would have slotted into the middle order of our current day team. As would have someone like Jamie Siddons.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Rodney Redmond & Greg Loveridge

 

[Daemon]

Asif and Amir the only ones I actually got to watch.

 

[harsh.ag]

Sadly short? Should have been shorter for both !

Imagine how well Stuart Law would have slotted into the middle order of our current day team. As would have someone like Jamie Siddons.

Lack of any real pace apart from Saffers would mean Bevan would probably have been ok as well.
