He is a terrible ODI batsman though, Thorpe is a much better choice.

Thorpe definitely the more capable batsman of the Pair

Chetan Sharma must be a candidate for one of the worst batsmen to have actually scored an ODI hundred. In 65 gmes he got past 25 only on one other occasion when he scored 38 not out.
His bating average in the 20's is highly misleading since it is more on accoun of his nearly 50% not out innings rather than a great batting prowess.
In ODI's he batted mostly between 8-11. The one occasion he went in at number 4 he scored his famous 96 ball 101 no against Gooch's England.
He also has a solitary test fifty.
In Test matches he once batted at number 8 and every other time amongst nine, ten and Jack.

I watch a fair bit of cricket thank you very much and I, along with many others, consider Younis Khan a very poor ODI batsman. Take away the minnows that aren't ODI class and he averages 26.96 with just a solitary century against a pitiful bowling attack. I think my comments are well justified.
I dunno 'bout that! On talent, yes; but on results.... the jury's still out I'd think.
McCullum still hasn't scored a Test century against Test-level countries (i.e., not Bangladesh or Zimbabwe, because they're rubbish).
Aviska is the worst player 132* i would have thought he would be rite up there in worst player to score 1

Was a time when Ervine was looking right on track to be a fine batsman indeed.

Macka - Ervine played with Laxman?

Absolutely. Like his friend Mohammad Yousuf in Tests, Younis has benefited more than almost anyone from the giving of ODI status to substandard sides. They make a terrible record look merely OK.
Certainly up there with the worst specialist batsman to score a ODI century, if not the Sharmas etc. of The World.

Same series - the 2003\04 VB Series, where Laxman scored two centuries, one against Australia, one against Zimbabwe, and Ervine scored one, against India.Macka - Ervine played with Laxman?

Jeez, didn't think he was that good tbh, bowling's always been poo though which is a real shame.

nah Gillespie...
Agarkar has a fair bit of talent both batting and bowling wise but he just didn't have the brains for it.
Gillespie's 200 on the other hand .... front foot prod.. ugly.
