A hundred in the debut and the whereabouts unknown

We have seen so many players who score hundred in their test debuts and go on to make it big like Miandad,Ganguly,Graham Thorpe and it is a long list of course.

But in the meantime, there have been batsmen who disappeared rather too soon after making
their debut hundreds.

Players i remember:

Ali Naqvi
Mohammed Wasim
Praveen Amre


What went wrong??? Your thoughts

As is Lou Vincent and Matt Sinclair.
Sinclair has definately been in and out of the side.

Vincent, after floundering for a few seasons, is slowly but surely starting to make a consistent impact.

Perhaps Skippy changed his cellphone number and forgot to tell the selectors?

Ganguly and Thorpe are not greats of the game.

Regardless, Dwayne Smith comes to mind.
They are not great, but they were regulars in their sides for more than a decent while, which, IMO, means they made it big, which is what the original post says.

It was my mistake. The initial contents of the thread , i had the word "great", later i modified it.

Rodney Redmond (100 and 80 against Pakistan in the early 1970s)- his son Aaron now plays for Otago
Khalid "Billy" Ibadulla (166 on debut) - still coaching in Dunedin as a professional coach. Taught me everything I know about leg-spinning.

I found out about a year or so ago that Im actually related to Charles Bannerman.
Aren't we all cousins something like a maximum of 13 or 14 times removed?

(For Arkansas, read 'something like a maximum of once removed').
