One Test Blunders

[Daemon]

Vinay Kumar at Perth. He's actually a pretty decent swing bowler but against Warner under hot sun and kookaburra ball, it was terror.

Unadkat is another one. What a debut he had, running into Amla and Kallis at the top of their games.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Well, that's disappointing.

Doesn't surprise me tbh, he never seemed like the sharpest tool in the shed

Poor fellow is target of jokes among Indian cricket forum members with being called malnourished and bowling the Unadkutter.

 

[honestbharani]

Not that poor a fellow since those IPL auctions though, is he?

 

[Kirkut]

IPL >>> test kirkut is for oldies.

 

[NZTailender]

Michael Mason - took no wickets at 4.77 runs per over and scored 3 runs from 2 attempts as we lost to South Africa by 6 wickets in 2004. To be fair to him though he nearly made the side again around 2008 and at that point probably deserved another gig.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Was that the one where he was bowling like a metre behind the popping crease?

And was raw as anything back then. If he was picked now I think he'd be decent.

He's been putting up beast like domestic numbers for a while now, admittedly my Ranji trophy knowledge is patchy at best but it does seem like he is a far better bowler now than then

It was Caddick who was left out; Fraser didn’t play in that series.

Fair dos. Raymondo did seem to be dropping Gus every other test in the mid 90s, so it a reasonable trick for my memory to play on me.
