1.
2. Ward was a decent keeper but struggled to hold the bat straight.

Thats a problem.

The selected candidates have to be TERRIBLE in the area they are specialising in. I would prefer a keeper who cant even catch a cold in Alaska

Yeah but most guys that couldn't catch a cold can bat. It pretty hard to find a hopeless keeper who can't bat either.

Probir Sen of India kept wickets in 14 tests and yet had no victim !!

And he averaged 11 with the bat.

Jayawardane of Sri Lanka had no victims in 5 tests and averaged 3.00 with the bat

Tim Wall.......a 'superb' average of 36 and was a strike bowler amongst the fuddy duddies.

Wall was, by all accounts, a quality bowler who didn't have things go his way exactly in the tests. Not a great player by any means, but not worthy of a worst ever XI in my opinion.

I always assumed the worst wicketkeeper to play the game was that Iqbal fellow from Kenya - 1996 World Cup.

SH** and tons of it !!

Now how the hell did I do that.

Thousand apologeeees sir !

11 Stumpings in 14 games, better then most keepers. He can keep to my off breaks any day of the week

He was also wrong about Jayawardne 11 dismissals in 5 games, shows he can keep so also out of picture.

I need a crap keeper who can't bat, someone help me find one.

It can mean only one thing, I did something wrong when using the auto filter on the excel based data of mine.

Very stupid of me

I should have checked and rechecked for such a strange record

Lesson for the future...I hope

Geraint Jones?

 

[Langeveldt]

Well i was going to do a comperhensive search to find the worst XI (statiscally) with the limitations that SJS put forward, but i found eleven really crap players from South Africa so i just made an XI from them.

What do u guys think, can u come up with a worse side.

Bangladesh?

Geraint Jones had a stab at it!

11 in 5 games?

2.2 per game - that's hardly showing he can keep!

 

[xan_pro]

for me the worst ever test team has been U A E. currently zimbabwe.

 

[a massive zebra]

Please enlighten me as to when they played a Test.

 

[sledger]

Geraint Jones?

nah nah nah, there are far worse, whats the name of that guy that replaced boucher for south africa...thami tsolikele? he was very poor indeed.

i thought he was ok behind the stumps

 

[sledger]

i thought he was ok behind the stumps

hmmm perhaps so, mind you i would say that jones is OK, but by no means is he any more than that

 

[The Baconator]

Tsolekile was better with the gloves than Jones.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

I don't think anyone had a serious problem with Tsolekile's 'keeping. Also, someone needs to inform xan_pro as to what constitutes a Test match.
