Crap players XI

[Ram]

This is inspired from the 'Wasted Talents' thread. Feel free to list those players whom you were amazed to see representing India, despite being really poor cricketers. Here's mine to start with, in no particular order; Vikram Rathore Aashish Kapoor Thiru Kumaran Iqbal Siddiqui Vijay Bharadwaj Deep Dasgupta MSK Prasad David Johnson Abey Kuruvilla *Forgot the name of the Indian keeper who scored a 100 in West Indies when we went there around 2003/04*

ha ha.. this wud be interesting... here is my bhakwas xi Sujith Somasundar Saba Karim Pharas Mhambrey Sarandeep Singh Rahul Sanghvi Rohan Gavaskar Abey Kuruvilla Salil Ankola (He should have been in the Balaji Tele XI) Harvinder Singh Nilesh kulkarni Vijay Dahia

[Ram]

I am tempted to include Debashish Mohanty in this list too. He was effin pathetic, even slower than medium pace and took the odd magical wicket with his stupid action. Again there was this another Orissa 'fast bowler', who was much hyped up when he played for India. He was utter nonsense.

[kumble_rocks]

Abhey Kuruvilla was a decent bowler . Unfortunately he got badly injured and lost lot of pace...

[Holysmoke]

I heard Ankola was really quick too.

[Ram]

That Abhey Kuruvilla managed to play for India for as long as he did, is a sad reflection of our fast bowling resources back then. Thank God those times are gone.

[Desi Cartman]

R Gavaskar R Uthappa Bahutulae

[SachDan]

Sujith Somsunder Devang Gandhi David Johnson....this guy tops my list Dodda Ganesh

[Dinx - the Jinx]

sairaj bahutule was a good talent i suppose. he was definitetly a good bowler for mumbai. strangely he never made the cut at the international level. he shud be in the wasted talent xi (wasted - cud be by the bcci or by the player himself)

[Mr. Wicket]

This is stunning. You are all forgetting the one and only, the epitome of mediocrity, a man who made a career around bringing a water pistol to a gunfight. SANDAAAAAAAASKAR!

Atul Bidade Dodda Ganesh Morris/CC Williams/David (Noel) - Minority quota VB Chandrashekar (he was explosive like Somasunder, but fizzled out)

Bedade could be moved to wasted talents as well. But Dodda Ganesh and Harvinder Singh were really crap :-D
