Ian R Bell

Also Danny Morrison's batting, and numerous other Number 10s and 11s

Rob Key - That 221 at Lords still makes me shiver. I hate watching that man bat, and we bowled a big pile of dross.

Hah, I was there.

Good times...

As Jk pointed out Ian Bell, we found it imposible to get him out for under 50. Rolling Eyes

Dippenaar is another player that comes to mind, though mainly in ODI's.

Oh yeah Harmison too.

Blast from the past coming up:

Vic Pollard - a very average player for NZ in the 60s and 70s. Only scored two tons - both of them against England in 1973! A crab's crab. IIRC he retired because his religious convictions forbad him from playing on Sundays

Philo Wallace & Clayton Lambert. They had no business whatsoever playing test cricket.

I can't think of anyone who has frustrated Australia's bowlers over the past decade who would be considered "rubbish".

by PeterCS Wed 28 Jan 2009, 10:56

Ashley Giles (batting)??

Aye, you'll be declaring 5 down every innings and Freddie, Sidie and Jimmy won't leave any wickets for him

Andy Bichel was a f*cking dagger through the heart for England in 2003.

Fred will be injured.

Sidesaddle will be injured.

Jimmy, sadly for everyone concerned, won't be injured.

Paks nemesis must be Ian Bell.

The one guy I remember was Trevor Franklin of NZ. He was utter garbage and still scored a ton against us...

Although a better player, still nowhere near the class of the figures he produced was Vinod Kambli - took a couple of doubles off of us I think.

Shahid Afridi
Y. Khan
Carl Hooper
Ijaz Ahmed
Chanderpaul
Jimmy Adams
Jayasurya [I know he wasn't rubbish, but always scored big and single handedly led to our defeats]
Andy Flower [Again he wasn't rubbish, but relished batting against us always]

rubbish?

Y Khan is a mighty fine batsman

I think Batman must have a different view of what "rubbish" means compared to the rest of the known universe.

Ian Botham.

I wish I could nominate Ian Chappell, but unfortunately he never frustrated us.
