Title: CBF all time 'worst' test XI
Post by: Nickauger on July 24, 2011, 04:12:39 PM: Right, for a little bit of fun and to create even more debate. What about the worst test XI of all time. Maybe players must have played more than 10 test matches to qualify?

Title: Re: CBF all time 'worst' test XI
Post by: Nickauger on July 24, 2011, 05:09:41 PM: Hauritz imo is a pretty decent cricketer, just out of favour with the selectors.

Mahendra Nagamootoo

With Rohan Kanhai and Alvin Kallicharran as his uncles that would have beefed up his selection.

Mahendra Nagamootoo

Yup, taken him for runs too.

Love tucking into to West Indian Leggies!

Post by: King pair on July 25, 2011, 09:56:15 PM: Yeah i've taken Nagamootoo for a few runs, bowls some of the quickest leg spin I have faced. Didnt do bad in the Lancs league to be fair to him.
