He certainly is. Perhaps not for the right reasons, but he's definitely a legend of NZ cricket.

Poor old Pocock , he struggled for 15 tests before the selectors put him out of his misery. I thought 3-5 max would have said everything. he did managed 85 in one innings.

I actually remember Richard de Groen as being semi half-decentish. But I just looked him up and he averaged 2 with the bat and 60 with the ball over 12 ODIs. There can't be many players with worse stats than that over 10+ matches.

hmmmmm

Robert Kennedy. Solely selected in 1996 cause he could bowl line and length I heard. Comes close to Richard De Groen . 7 ODI matches @ 56 runs and 4 tests @ 63 runs

Mark Haslim , 4 tests , 2 wickets at 122 runs average

Brooke Walker a leg spinner who couldn't spin , 5 tests at 79 average


I think we have a worse opening batsman than Blair Pocock. Someone I had forgotton all about,.

BLAIR HARTLAND

9 agonizing tests with an average of 16. yes 16. Cricinfo doesn't even have a blurb for him so fleeting was his career

Notable mentions

Darren Murray
Phil Horne
Jamie How
Micheal Papps

Chris retired from test cricket at the age of 27 and came to England (where his girlfriend - now wife - was based) and joined our local club side , Hornchurch, as our overseas pro. Chris, was a top, top guy, and obviously given his level of talent, and personality/character, did a fantastic job for us, on and off the field, and is fondly remembered here in Esssex. A real credit and ambassador for NZ, in every respect. I think a combination of his personal circumstances, lack of money, not always being first choice (although he ended on a high being top wicket taker in his last series, against England?) meant he changed career at a relatively early age. He was offered a contract with Middlesex in his last year with us, thus turning down to play first class cricket at Lords, but preferred to return to NZ with his girlfriend #lovestory?
