Isn't George Bailey's test career the definition of this?

England selected lots of random guys against India in the '90s. Come to think of it, they selected lots of random guys against everybody back then.

A quick cricinfo browse throws up Min Patel, Richard Blakey, Paul Jarvis, Peter Martin etc. Who are these guys?

 

[honestbharani]

Peter Martin played in the 1996 WC. I was about 12 and thought his name was just awesome. Was my favorite English player along with Neil Smith that WC for some reason. Have absolutely no bloody idea why.

I use to like Neil Fairbrother just for his name, but he was also a terrific player, one of the better England ODI players from that era.

Somebody beat me to Bryce Mcgain? :sad:

On the associate side of things. Malhar Patel for Kenya. Choked in Kenya's last ever bilateral series against Bangladesh, hung around the squad till the World Cup and was quietly pushed out.

Over to ***** for more examples

If Stoinis plays a Test in India, it'll make him a short lived selection.

michael beer and steve smith hanging around the squad from the 3rd test onwards in the 10/11 ashes is up there. beer even made the squad for the next tour iirc

Karn Sharma instead of Ashwin on the most spin friendly track of the summer at Adelaide, 2014 was pretty bad.

ML Lewis ODI bowler for Australia on the 2006 tour to South Africa. After the 438 game I never saw him for Australia again. Was he only in for that one series?

 

[Spikey]

He got some games in the summer beforehand. him, brett dorey, mitch johnson and stuart clark all got OD games in the summer after the 05 Ashes, i guess as they tried to replace Kasper and Dizzy. Bracken was in the team too but I can't remember if he had already made himself a fixture of the OD team. obviously clark and MJ went further
