The most nondescript cricketers

[Burgey]

Could pretty much list every NZ test player ever in here tbh

It's good to know the old mantra "There's only one Tendulkar" is the utter tosh I always thought it was.

The evolution of the Tendulkar family over generations has been interesting. From a poet to an ATG batsman to a left arm bowler. Arjun's kid might become a chess player.

Of the original four listed, Ross Edwards was a brilliant cover fielder and averaged 40 in an era when it wasn't that common. He might not have stood out next to Chappell x2 and Walters however.

And Kim Barnett was anything but unremarkable. Go find video of him batting if you've never seen him.

the problem with this thread is that if i'm able to think of a cricketer's name for this discussion, then by definition he wasn't nondescript

Jacob Tunberry

TBH if this was the ONLY thread that made you think of said cricketer, it could be ok.

Hitesh Modi is the closest Kenyan to the description in the opening post. He did get given out lbw by his own dad in an ODI.



I bet none you have heard of Malhar Patel

There is no thing such as old age to learn a new fact, mate. Happy to help.

T Kumaran

Managed to tour Australia with the Indian team in 1999-2000 and played a handful of ODIs. Yet so non descript that he didn't even get 100 wickets in first class or domestic ODs.

Justin Vaughan (ignoring his off-field "contributions")

[honestbharani]

I feel among the current crop, Roston Chase is a bit like that.

For me, it's any of the middle order batsmen from NZ
