    The worst player to have achieved a given thing and the best player not to

    I think with that sort of bowler, the perception was that they always seemed to take a wicket but in reality they bowled lots of times fruitlessly but they're just not memorable. An example of this is someone like Paul Collingwood - you'd think of him as a useful bowler but 17 wickets at nearly...

    Does the stuff you do significantly impact on your ability to do your job? I guess that at least him getting injured and us finding better replacements it puts him back down the pecking order and didn't cost us that much as we still won the series.

    And if they'd picked him out of position (as the 2 spaces that opened up were not for an opener) you'd have been whinging about that if he'd failed.
