rahulrulezz Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Players who played above 50 Odis and yet sucked Dinesh Mongia Mo Kaif (played 150 plus Odis yet only 7 sixes in total, strikerate of 72, god knows how he played so many matches Rahane Rahul Dravid (I know you guys will hate me but the guy was too slow) R Jadeja (played 5 world cups as #7 batsman and yet not even a single match winning performer. Not even once. Zilch Nada Zero) Link to comment
Sean Bradley Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 OP mentioned Hemang Badani, infact Badani was an emerging talent back then with great temperament who was unable to do justice to his potential. Worst batsmen who would come on top of mind would be Dinesh Mongia Shiv Sunder Das Deep Dasgupta (also the worst keeper India has ever played) Now Rayudu Link to comment

We can at least give dravid some leeway as he had to bat in the middle orders and Often than not that s/r was somewhat acceptable. Ganguly on the other hand was infuriating. He was a dot ball machine. One of the infuriating things in the 90s was to see him play dots for 5 balls of the over and take a single to retain the strike. You would see Sachin at the other end going 22(19) and this guy 5(17). Stan AF, Gollum, SK_IH and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment

rkt.india Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 There was one batsman that selectors should have given more chances and that Pankaj Dharmani, WK/batsman from Punjab. He averaged 50 in FC cricket being a wicket keeper and playing at Mohali pitches of 90s was not a mean feat, just got one ODI that too in a situation when we needed quick runs chasing 250 like 55 in 5 overs which was almost impossible in 96. he scored 8 of 8, got out and never played again. from top batsmen only Azhar looked like playing to win. Ganguly and SRT were just too slow scoring 54 of 104 SR of 51 and 64 of 93 68, opening partnership of 126 in 197 balls, leaving others to score 124 of 103 balls which was not easy in those days and that against an SA attack of Donald, de villiars and McMillan.

I guess I would Dravid in the same category.. he was really bad, not the worst... Link to comment

He was certainly a bad odi player in my opinion, he definitely wasn't the worst... again, I am not doubting his test credentials at all. Link to comment

Soorma_Bhopali Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Based on a comprehensive model based on analytics for SPECIALIST batsmen and minimum 30 innings , it is Eknath Solkar for tests & Sandeep Patil / Robin Uthappa for ODI's. http://www.espncricinfo.com/blogs/content/story/614599.html (TEST) http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Batting/BattingAverages_ODI.asp?Stat=2 (ODI) Eknath was a gun close-in fielder though..probably , the best in Indian cricketing history.

kubrickian Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Most batsmen who came from Mumbai(other than Gavaskar, Tendulkar) and from Tamil Nadu(other than M Vijay and perhaps Kris Srikanth). They got in because of favoritism. Link to comment

Solkar wasn't seen as a specialist batsman more of an all-rounder as he did open the bowling for Bombay . If I remember correctly he batted around 6 or 7 but yes he was picked for his short leg fielding to the spinners . Link to comment
