Terrible list. You have Duminy, Cowan and Hughes there says enough of how much cricket you watch. Paranavitana has two test tons, so why he is on there? Why is Chandimal there? Well where is the explanation.

this 11 can easily beat sl,wi and nz. so not a good worst 11.

Paranavitana averages less than 30 over the last 4 years... He's scored 2 test tons? Good for him. So has Ashwin, in half the amount of tests as well. That's a shocking indictment of an "opener". Most of Chandi's runs have come off of Bangladesh and he looks suspect to good fast bowling. I think he'll really struggle outside the sub continent. You're right though, it's too early to make a call on this one. Cowan - average of 31? average of 27 away from home? Does it really need an explanation? Duminy - Averages a partly 32. Only reason he's there is because Saffers lack quality spin and other batsmen make up for his lack of runs. Doesn't really need an explanation... Hughes - once again, a horrible player. Average of 32. Sub 20 average against India, England and Pakistan. Half of his runs have come in Africa and he averages a dismal mid 20s everywhere else.

Yep the guy who just looks at stats and doesn't watch. Congrats on that.

Of course Chandimal scores runs now :cantstop: some other contenders: kieran powell, tino best, Mohammed Sami :cantstop:, Fidel Edwards - all of whom are massively talented tbf, but have done no justice to their talents.
