R Campbell
R Charlesworth
G Shipperd
S Marsh *
R Langer
L Pomersbach*
I Brayshaw
K MacLeay
P Capes
B Dorey
B Mulder

Never saw but have good records
D Chadwick
Charlie Puckett
Ray Strauss was pretty good too apparently

* ...hopefully gets a chance to get off this list

Didnt play enough to justify a spot
Michael Clark ..if he didnt have a more fragile body than Bruce Reid
George Young ...if he didnt choose footy over cricket

Embee - did Mick Malone get a test?...or just packer cricket?

btw he was also an excellent footballer

Mick played one Test ...the last of the 77 tour of Pomgolia ...and then signed up with Packer ...he did play a few Jamodis after Packer

up until Gilly came along he was the answer to the Trivia question ...which Wozzie has the best batting and bowling average for Oz in Test Cricket ?

46 batting and 12.83 bowling

saw him play footy for Subi ...was quite good

signed a Form 4 to come to South Melbourne but cricket had taken over by then

In one of the first Packer games he rang his wife to tell her to tape the game on tv

He got hit for a couple of huge sixes by Wayne Daniel in the last over to "lose" the match

When he rang his wife she proudly let him know that she had set the VCR going properly (the were a new fangled invention in those days) and had recorded everything ...he told her to burn the tape

great story...

That was the night that really ignited WSC. A classic game (in those days) with a classic finish. From memory, it finished well after midnight, with Daniel's mighty smite.

Maybe they should bring back WSC.

Shaun Marsh really shouldn't be in there. Insanely talented. OK, as seen on T20s 2 years ago, and glimpses this year, but seriously he just looks 'good enough'.

I agree he looks the part. But it's not surprising he's in here, Aus have had... WTF am I saying!??? They picked PHIL HUGHES FFS! Little Tommy O'Shaughnessy-Young-Kralj the blind pianist should've got a go if Phil Hughes has had a go.

DUBBER BIAS!!!!

He has that Carl Hooper syndrome ...where he looks like he's the best batsman in the World and then gets out to a stupid shot or a tank long hop ...has improved greatly in that area but now has a dodgy hammy/back that he keeps injuring

Pomersbach has the same problem with getting out in stupid ways ...plus he has had a few off field problems

Pomersbach has problems with GOING OUT in stoopid ways.

If you want to be technically correct ...it was GOING HOME that was his problem

Other than his driving home debacle, didn't he and Bog get on the sauce and make arses of themselves in public or at a function?

They were just drinking at the wrong time ..too close to a game ...

Geez, you're a bad influence.

Phurt ...I wouldnt have let them get caught

"Strapping chap was seen fleeing the scene of a rowdy drunken incident at a Scarborough pub in a beat up ute at high speed, with 2 Warrior players in tow."

it wasn't a beaten up ute, it was a turbocharged Humvee convertible elevated on 10 foot wheels

Ossie, W?

take your bloody Glamorgan wasters off this thread
