nevada Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Nick Knight , Trescothick , Simon Jones , Trott , Kambli , Syed Saba Karim , Robin Singh . Robin Singh was overlooked by the selectors for years and only brought back when he was 33. He still did great, winning some close games with clutch batting while chasing, scoring a century and an 80+ when promoted up the order, fielded great, and even won a MOM for taking 5fer in a ODI IIRC. He is the quintessential never-say-die player who gives more than 100% all the time. I would take such a committed player over a "talented" hack like Rohit any day. I do enjoy watching Rohit bat when in full flow, but he is a proven Jekyll and Hyde who can go awol anytime.

cricketpitch Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Atul Bedade and Pravin Amre Atul Bedade was a strange case. He was a dasher and obviously had few failures with the bat and averaged 22 with the bat. I was very impressed with him in the Sharjah finals when he and Kambli fought hard against Pakistan. Again India weren't that tolerant with players not performing in the 90's and even Rohit would have been dropped long back if he had played in the 90's. Rohit averaged in the 20's for a long time before he upped his average. That sort of faith was not shown with lots of players in the past who could not play after few failures in spite of having some potential.
tweaker Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Muhammed Zahid,Shane Bond,Stuart McGill,Irfan Pathan,
vvvslaxman Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Muhammed Zahid' date='Shane Bond,Stuart McGill,Irfan Pathan,[/quote'] McGill is not wasted talent. He is an unused talent. Born in the wrong era. Funny thing is they had a surplus of spinner at that point. Now they don't have anyone except Lyon who is not remotely close to how good McGill was.
Raghav_12 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 If you look at the way Sachin Tendulkar's career was shaping when he was 18-19, you wonder whether his final numbers should have been better then what he actually ended up with. At 18 he was already one of the top batsmen in the world. He had scored those big centuries in England and Australia. Was among the top run getters (I think in top 10) in WC 92. Already had near perfect technique. I believe his final numbers fall slightly short of justifying talent he had. PS - Before I am attacked, let me clarify, I am not saying he was a wasted talent. Just saying some part of his enormous talent was wasted.

Just saying some part of his enormous talent was wasted. Well, I am sure he could've averaged around 57 had he chosen to quit test cricket before he finally did. His last two years really dented his average. ODI s perspective, pretty much same if not more than what was expected.
CoverDrive Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Greg Blewett EASILY. Had the game to average 45+' date=' pity he was a mental midget.[/quote'] what would you say about Stuart Macgill
bulbul Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Muhammed Zahid' date='[b']Shane Bond,Stuart McGill,Irfan Pathan, Injured talent...
brendan07 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 what would you say about Stuart Macgill Very tough one. No one knows how he would have gone over the long period as the sole spinner. In a way Warne made it easier for him to come on, no pressure with the batsman having to hit someone as they couldn't get Warne, McGrath, etc away. This opened it up for MacGill to get a lot of wickets at a great S/R. In my view he got the most out of what he had. He did have faults (i.e. the four balls he bowled).
Gambit Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Damien Martyn and Mark Waugh should have achieved a lot more.
