[Silver Silva]

Adrian Barath
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Darren Bravo
Kraigg Brathwaite

 

[Silver Silva]

Saim Ayub looks to be following in his footsteps
.
On Pakpassion there was a thread started a year ago comparing him to Yashasvi Jasiwal !

Adrian Barath
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Darren Bravo
Kraigg Brathwaite

Wasn't around when Sarwan was young, but imo he had a very respectable Test and ODI career.

Sarwan was supposed to be special, Lara level even.

The dude made his FC when he was 15. Clearly, something special with him.

The technical aspect of Sarwan’s game was immaculate

Darren Bravo

DARREN FREAKIN' BRAVO. What a waste of talent and potential.

 

[Jumno]

P Shaw
Dernbach, I feel he was a good odi bowler

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shuvagata Hom

 

[Flem274*]

Most of them.

A lot of dominant FC players are pretty close to the top level. You usually have a lot going for you already if you are too good at the level below, but some fatal flaw holds them back.

 

[Athlai]

@Chewie may know

 

[reyrey]

Mohammad Ashraful

 

[Starfighter]

Will Pucovski is making great progress in this direction. Really using his head.

Dernbach, I feel he was a good odi bowler

You'd be wrong then.

 

[CricAddict]

Shaun Marsh the first to come to mind. Still has time though.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Jesse Ryder - more talent than Taylor and not much less than Williamson as well as being a decent 5th bowler.
Could've played 100 tests and averaged 46/47 with the bat and 37 with the ball.

Mohammad Amir, Corey Anderson
